Pro Comp 4.5" rear lift???

sm10 · Apr 23, 2014

How do these work?? Pro Comp 2009+ Ram 1500 4.5" Rear Lift # 56747B-5

I'm familiar with the 4" coil spacers, which I was leaning towards until I came across this 4.5" rear lift....but I have no clue how they work...

Me and Rambo both installed this kit. Its just coil spacers, trackbar relocation bracket, new sway bar end links, and control arm relocation brackets. You would also need to buy new shocks.

Same as any other rear kit, but includes control arm relocation brackets to help center the wheels inside the fenders
I wouldn't recommend this kit unless you absolutely need 4.5" or more.

are you 2wd or 4wd?

I'm 2wd....why wouldn't you suggest this kit?? Any problems you're having?

I had a lot of problems in the beginning. Kit didn't line up correctly, lots of various noises, ABS/ESP issues, brake lines, and the ride is so-so.

The main reason I wouldn't recommend is ease of installment. Other kits are 10x easier and provide 4" or lift instead of 4.5-5". If you need more lift then you really don't have any choice, but if you don't I would look into Maxtrac or CST.

Im with SAUSEC, the rear kit is an easy install from CST or Maxtrac, and it sits it up there real nice, good ride...

sm10 · Apr 23, 2014

I was planning on doing the cst 4" because I don't NEED the 4.5 to 5". Since I want to do maxtrac 4.5 spindles

sausec17 · Apr 23, 2014

I would check out the maxtrac rear kit...they offer a 4.5" rear kit too, or you can get the 3" kit and add a 1" spacer instead of the provided 1.5" spacer...its somewhere around $320 with shocks!

If you're planning on doing the spindles too, might as well get the whole kit for cheaper

sm10 · Apr 23, 2014

I don't need that extra lift. Cst 4" will do fine since I want to dodo maxtrac 4.5 spindles

sm10 · Apr 23, 2014

maxtrac sells the spindles and 4.5" rear together? What do you suggest for shocks? I know they always suggest a few...

sausec17 · Apr 23, 2014

Contact suspensionspecialists, the Ebay seller in the link above. They will set you up with the spindles, brake lines, rear coils and spacers, and shocks. I know they had it advertised at once, but they are great guys and will hook you up!

Cool. Thanks! Nice truck Sausec17! Have you had any issues with the spindles? or heard of any one else have issues with them?

sausec17 · Apr 23, 2014

Thanks bro!

NO ISSUES AT ALL! The spindles are amazing, no effect on ride quality!

sm10 · Apr 23, 2014

Awesome!! That's what I want. Don't want to affect the ride quality or put any stress on any other parts!

sausec17 · Apr 23, 2014

Youll be very happy with them man!

012RAMbo · Apr 23, 2014

I agree with everything Sauce said! lol

sm10 · Apr 24, 2014

Thanks guys! My next question is about wheels....I'm going to do 20x9 or 20x10....A lot of pics I've seen of 20x9 rims, the lip is a bit too small for my liking. 20x10 tend to have nice lips. Let's say 20x9 and 20x10 both have an offset of -12, will they both stick out the same distance? I don't want too wide of a stance especially since I'll be doing the spindles, which I've heard sausec17 say they make your wheels stick out about 1 1/2 inches.

012RAMbo · Apr 24, 2014

The 20x10 wheel should stick out 1/2'' more than the 20x9 wheel with the same offset. And you're correct about the spindles increasing front track width by 1.5'' on each side.

sm10 · Apr 24, 2014

Thanks! Is there any chance anyone has pictures of 20x10 on spindles?? Picking out rims is THE hardest thing to do!! lol

012RAMbo · Apr 24, 2014

It took me a couple months to finally decide on my wheels lol. Here is a link to another forum, he used 20x10 -12mm with lift spindles.

AWESOME!!! Thank you!! Exactly what I wanted to see. Seems like -12 offset is really common for 20x10. The width of the front is maxed out for my liking, but I really like it!
I know what it's like searching for the right rims...took me a few months to find the right ones for my car. Finding out the right width then the right offset to fit the brembo brakes that I was putting on. lol
