Skyjacker makes a replacement spring pack for the rear end. PM Cowhand and ask what he's doing. He's spent a lot of money and time building his suspension the right way and he'll steer you straight. As for the pro fab kit, I've never heard of it or anyone running it. I do like my DT track bar though.

If David is doing the same thing I talked to him about, yes, it's way worth the money. You might want to confirm with him, but IIRC it comes with control arms or radius arms (I'm running the radius arm, I love 'em), softer coils, track bar (not a drop bracket) and Bilstien 5100's. Probably some other goodies as well like a drop pitman arm and maybe bumpstops. Not sure what he's doing with the rear.

I'm having Deaver Spring do custom rear packs for mine, but they ain't cheap.

DT's fab work is pretty nice, his stuff is all professionally engineered and it's beefier than anything else out there on the market. I know David has been working on this kit for almost a year, glad to hear he's ready to pull the trigger on it.

PM me if you have any questions.

I talked to David today....it's actually a 5" kit and it's a little more like $2700, but it comes with the super I radius arms, dual shock mounts, coils, track bar, pitman arm, bumpstops, traction bars for the rear, and six Bilstien 5100 shocks. Plus all the hardware.

Take a look at Dave's white '96 on his website, same setup minus the x-over steering.
The radius arms in the picture are the prototypes, the updated design is alot beefier. I have pics of the prototypes on my truck in my gallery if you want some other angles.

I have a pair of the updated arms going to powder coat tomorrow, I'll post some pics when I get them back.

Cowhand, If Im not mistaken awhile ago you talked about Rubicon Express coming out with a Dodge Lift....or am I off base??

Cowhand

Wasn't me....I haven't heard anything about RE doing suspension for anything but Jeeps. Doesn't mean they won't.....

I have mentioned using RE joints on control arms and track bars. Only fabricator I've talked about coming out with a new kit is DT, David's had it in the works for several months now. Myself and a few other folks tested the radius arm set up. David has gone through several different sets of coils from different manufacturers looking for one he likes, and he's tested all of it on his '96 2500. Looks like he's finally got it dialed in the way he wants it.

Currently he's only doing a 5", you could probably go up to 7" with the radius arms. For less than 5", he has some pretty dang nice stock replacement control arms that are 1/2" longer than stock. I was going to go with those until he talked me into the RA's.

Must have imagined that...
