05 dodge ram opinions on build!

05hemiguy · Jun 23, 2017

Hey guys fairly new here. I have an 05 ram 1500 4x4 hemi regular cab long bed. I want to put a 6 inch lift on it. I was going to go with Rough country's one. With that kit will I need anything else as far as axles or drivetrain etc? I seen a truck like mine with 6 inch lift clearing 37x13.50. Will I need anything to make that happen?

Also I am converting my front end to the 08! Not sure If I want a oem style front bumper or after market one.

Thanks!

A lot of people dislike RCX but some like them. The shocks are harsh so might wanna get bilstien 5100s.
Offset wheels if you don't have already for the 37s for sure.
Your gear ratio may be low for that tire so it may be fairly sluggish. Unless your at 3.92 or 4.10s already.

I'm not sure on gear ratio. Have to look into that. Cool thanks for info on lift.

Mopar did 37s on 3.55s and they claimed it ran fine. It was on an 09 I believe, called big red

I'd say a small body lift to clear the tires in all situations, most guys like the stuffed look, I prefer the truck up off the tires.
