Anyone have this on their 3rd gen? How do you like it?



Post pictures if you have them!





Also, looking for new shock options. Post part numbers if you have them.





Thanks!

Hi BHaner,



Not sure exactly what you are planning with this lift, but I saw this on another site. Is this going on your 03?

Yeah. For the 03.



Thanks for the link. I will see what happens.

I have been looking for a lift for quite some time, But never pulled the trigger...



But when I was looking, I always found this site to have the best prices, FWIW

BTW - I like the superlift over the Skyjacker due to the sway bar links... I like the longer links vs. the drop brackets of the skyjacker...

I have a the 6" Superlift with the longer links for the sway bar. Not a good idea. I bent them the first time out. So bad they touched the springs. Had to have custom ones built. The spacers might be the way to go. The stock links are thicker then the Superlift. . 02¢

I had the same problem with my Superlift links. The spacer is the way to go. The Skyjacker lift is a great kit.

Check out Kore Suspension

I have a friend with one of the Kore Suspension kits and I am convinced that it is the highest quality suspension system for Dodge. The only make lift kits for Dodge Rams and mostly for Diesel's, the stuff is race proven and will maintain a great ride, here is the link http://koreperformance.com/ I would look at this before getting any other brand suspension system for a Dodge Ram.

Love the kits - esp. the new unlimited kit. But dang, thats some SERIOUS coin for those kits... .

I've been in a lot of lifted Dodges, every truck I've been in or driven with a "Superlift" system has driven like a horse & carriage. I recently drove an '06 Mega with a 6" Fabtec system with the twin Fox-Shock setup, pricy but it felt like a lifted stock truck. No rattles squeaks and that rickety feeling you get from the Superstiff system.

It's all in the shocks. Spend the extra money and get nice shocks and you will be pleased with the Superlift or Skyjacker. You can make the truck ride like a tank even with the Tuff Country lifts if you choose the wrong shocks and Tuff Country uses the stock springs by adding only spacers.

Go with KORE!

This is the week (9 days) a year that my truck sees 100% offroad. I hunt nearly 90 square miles. Not from my truck but to get from place to place. Sometimes there is no road at all sometimes it is washboard county road but almost all off road. Hauling dirt bikes and gear from place to place.



I must say that myself and my buds are amazed at the ride with the KORE suspension. There is really NO COMPARISION! Just my 2 cents.

Yeah, was looking at those before I posted. Trying to find good pics before I pull the trigger.



I like the looks of this one. . 6" superlift. . 35" tires... But everything I hear is bad about the superlift.

Also, don't want to get too crazy. . 35" tire max. Still need to be able to tow and haul the camper.

 

[driverno8]

Hey nice truck. hehe



The reason I did 35"s instead of 37"s (which you can run with the 6" lift) is because of the freeway miles I drive. Every weekend during the summer I head to AZ (Havasu). There's a lot of nothing between my house and there. If I was to get a blow out I can still use my spare to at least get me home or to the river. With 37"s I could, but man would that suck, especially towing. Having one tire considerably smaller towing a boat for 200 miles. I like the look of 37"s but didn't/don't want to take the chance.

LOL, I take it that is yours eh? If I remember right. . I already asked you what you thought about it... Just don't remember now!



Yeah. . Found that pic over on DTR long ago. . I like the look. . But I don't think I can fit the truck under the camper, or haul it safely with that much lift.



Need new tires now, and can't fit the 35's with what I have. . So. . I guess it's lift time!

 

[edgerat]

KELDERMANN!!!!!!!!! you might need camo+bondo+wickershambandit money for that though

LOL! Yeah. . I'm out. :-laf

If you are just putting on 35's you can do it with the coil spacers. I run the skyjacker 5" lift and love it. I have 37's and could probably squeeze 40's if it was just a street truck. Personally I'd just do the spacers with good shocks if you're gonna tow. I like my lift but the next truck I get is just getting the spacer/35's setup. I'll try to get a picture up here for you but I'm not sure any survived the hard drive crash.
