What lift should I get?

Post by **BlueDodgeRam** » Mon Sep 04, 2006 2:27 pm

I want to get a 5" lift for my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. Anybody have any thoughts on the Rough Country system. I don't have the money for a Skyjacker 5" lift, or pretty much anything else. The truck will not be doing anything extreme off-road. Anybody have any thoughts or ideas? I dont really like body lifts, would rather go with all suspension. Any help would be appreciated.

What size tire are you wanting to run? Or are you just wanting the truck to be taller? I have no experience with most of those lift kits but if you are wanting something that rides nice I am sure most any of them will do fairly well for just riding.

IF you are wanting some 37in procomp mud terrain tires for a 16in wheel, I might have a used set with good tread for sale.

Yea, the new thing is to just cut whatevers in the way.

Sheetmetal, brake lines, hood, radiator, you get the idea...

BDS makes a good kit, and you can't beat the warranty.
