I'm not a Dodge lift kit expert. Let's see what others have experience with.

cowboy.......the real question is....How does it perform off-road compared to the stock dodge suspension??? Also does the lift you have replace the front coil springs or does it just have the spacers?

most customers tell us that the kits usually improve the highway ride and maximize the traction off-road. My truck has a couple different kits on it, it has superlift spacers (3") and trailing arms and skyjacker coils(2.5"). any more q's let me know! -Jeff

--Would you recommend that kit for medium to heavy trail riding?


--If yes to my first question, where can i get one like that and how much will dissipate out of my wallet?


--If no, where can i find a kit that you WOULD recommend?


--And yes that truck looks VERY good!!!


Thanx, Zach

go with a skyjacker lift, i would use any other for a decent amount of lift. i only have a 2" leveling kit on mine and i was running 36x14.50-16.5 super swampers. as of now, im running 35x12.50-16.5 Bfg muds and have no problem at all.


if you want alot go with a skyjacker 7" it starts out at about $2500 and goes up from there. and you would probably be good to run 39s that what ill be doing to mine.


36"s

Go with the ~ 6" Skyjacker. Easy install and solid.

If you go with the Skyjacker and plan on doing a lot off roading you might want to go with the stage II double flex 1 1/4" hiems and nitro shocks. I have the 4.5" inch lift check out my web page for picks.
