How much lift?

Ive got an 03 2500 and Ive got an adjustable track bar on the way and my question is how much lift can I safely run before I have to replace the control arms or any other part.

Thanks, Coop.

I would guess a leveling kit (2" in front). I believe any kit that brings the front up 4" comes with new Control Arms.

Don't take this personal, I'm assuming you are unaware...The adjustable track bar helps centering the axle side to side, it does nothing for moving it forward so that your tires don't rub your fender, as you lift your front suspension it pulls the axle towards the cab.

I have a 6" lift (6" front/4" rear) absolutely needed the control arms.

I haven't purchased an adjustable track bar yet because I was able to find a happy medium in my caster that allows no rubbing of control arms unless I'm at full lock while flexed a bit and not being flighty on the road or having driveline vibrations/noises.
