this is probably a stupid question but do they make a 2007 dodge ram 1500 in a mega cab... the reason i ask this is because i was looking at the suspension on my truck and its a rize lift kit and i went on there site and they only sell lift kits for a 2500 and 3500... also i was trying to figure out if it was an 8 in lift or 10 plus i had 38x15.5 in tires on it...

There is a black 1500 mega cab here in my town even has 8 lug rears. I thought it was an odd combination but I would say yes they do make it. Or did make it.

Yes they did
Your mega cab is basically a 2500 with a different suspension spring rate

2006 to 2008 had 1500 Mega Cabs. (2500's labeled as a 1500) I think you could only get a Mega Cab in a 2500/3500 from 2009 on..

Are you sure? We looked at 2011 1500 sport all maroon megacab when we bought ours but I wanted black and the QC was all they had on the lot. I could swear it had the 5 lug wheels like on mine now.

Are you sure it was a Mega Cab and not a Crew Cab? Every Mega Cab ever built had 8 lug wheels because they were built on a 2500/3500 chassis, even when labeled as a 1500.

When I go to the parts store for something I usually just tell them it's a 2500. If you try to tell them it's a 1500 with 8 lug axles you confuse the hell out of them and will probably end up with the wrong parts.


Was there a 8 ft bed on a 1500 ever in the year 06?

On a regular cab, yes. I think the Quad Cab was only available in a short box, but I'm not 100% sure. I know the 2500 had a Quad Cab Long Bed. That's actually the frame the Mega Cab Short Box was built on.
