RAMINSPEED,



How level does your truck sit? I have the Tuff Country 2" coilspacer, and my truck sits 1" high in the rear (according to the tapemeasure) , but it looks level. I ordered the new Tuff Country 3" coilspacer and bilstein 5100's (zinc coated) yesterday. I've been thinkin' I should've also ordered the 2" Superlift blocks? If I did get the blocks, would I need longer shocks? Which brings me to my next prob. I have the Firestone airbags in the rear, so will the 2" blocks even work???



FWIW, I parked beside a truck like yours (3500 SRW) w/ a 2" Revtek coilspacer, and we both had 315/70R/17 BFG all-terrains... .

AND HE DWARFED ME !!!

Hey Fozzy,

You test them 37's on your truck before or after that 6... Mark"

Fozzy I thought superlift only offered a 5" suspension lift!.

Does the 4" lift kit require extended brake lines?

I don't think so. I asked a distributor if the 6" lift would need new brake lines and he said no but you may have to relocate brackets.

YMMV

Anyone have a pic of a ram with a 6" lift and 35's?

 

[StephenThomas]

Aren't the BFG 315's considered "35's" or just below it? The radius is like 34. 5" right?

 

[evldsl]

I thought the 315's were closer to the 36 size tire.

 

[R.M.THOMPSON]

34 point something according to the spec. sheet !

 

[fozzy]

Sorry no pics yet, I am haveing computer problems. Hope to work them out this week and get you some pics. 315's are not 35" tall. A BFG 35" is not 35" tall. There not even close. Most tires are not the size they say they are. Unless it's a Super Swamper, Parnellie Jones, Mickey ect... They seem to be closer if not bigger than the size on the tire. You guys need to keep this in mind before you pick tires. there specs may say one thing but measure them with a tape before you decide. My 35" PJ's are 35. 25" tall, A buddy of mine has the 37" BFG's and they measure 35. 75". I tried the tires and wheels after the lift. And yes the Superlift is 6" They do 2,4,and 6" and is rumored to have a 8" long arm on the way. Skyjacker has the 5". Brake lines are stock on all three lifts. Very tight on the 6" though and use the stock brackets. You do have to relocate the parking brake cables on the driver side. I have the amp link power steps and they get in the way of the bracket so I had to make a cable extenstion so the steps would not hit it. Pics coming soon to my page if I can figure out why my internet explorere keeps crashing.

Fozzy, Any problems with your front driveshaft? All of the lift companies has troubles making a system that wouldnt blow up the front driveshaft. A buddy of mine made his own custom 8" lift on his 2500 cummins and he runs 40" mtr's. Looks insane!

Good question.



We need to get 20 of us together and see if we can get a group buy on one of these.

I have the Bilsteins on my rig,and unlike my last set on a Superduty,they dont turn me on at all. Not much better than stockers,lots of body roll.
