4th Generation Lift for 40s

nickaliRAM · Nov 1, 2012

Does anyone have a 4th Gen with a lift big enough for 40s or know what kind of lift combo to use to achieve this

There are a few of us close, and a few custom that have gone well over it, really depends if you want it to be a dd or not. Raw ram's ended with 46s

With my current setup I could run 40s, might have to upgrade to leveling shocks (add like inch or two more in front). And gears etc but I like getting 14 mpg

But roughly 11" of lift in front and 9" of lift in rear should do it

Thank you for the advice. I have been looking at a Pro Comp Stage I 6" Lift. I have also looked at a few Body Lifts. I just really didn't know what I should be looking for.

I totally understand about the mpg being horrible. I had a 2003 3500 with 10" of lift and 40's before this truck and it got horrible mileage. But now that we have commuter vehicles, I am wanting to make this the baddest 1500 in Alabama if possible.

Nice, the other day I drove by a 8" long arm lifted f250 that had a sticker saying the persons name and monster. I was thinking man that truck looks huge, then when I pulled along side him realized my mirrors were higher than his..... :naughty:

kinda made me chuckle, than I realized I need not go bigger

LOL, that is awesome. I have a 4th gen 2500 that is parked right next to my work and he is on 8" with 37's. So I am determined to have a larger ride with 40's.

CV axles dont like 40's that much

GlOcKnRaM · Nov 1, 2012

^^What he said 40's will take some work to achieve...6" lift, 3" body, the right offset wheel, gears to push them bad boys(4.56), and a tuner...dont run 40's on stock 3.55 gears youll kill the tranny...but 40's can be done...if you don't mind getting yardage instead of mileage lol

Gears will also be a custom job since you have a 2012

Are you a 4wd or a 2wd nickaliRAM ?

If 2wd .. you could go with a CST 7" lift and a body
Or
