I have a ProComp 6" lift on mine. Tires are 37x13.5x17 Toyo OC MT. Overall happy with the lift, still wish I would have put in an air suspension instead.

3in Calri backcountry 2.0 with added CAs, full rear leafs, and steering components. If I could do it again I would get the 2.0 performance or maybe even a 2.65 kit but for sure would want the radius arm kit. Not sure if they have then ready for the 3in kits or not. Also im clearing 37s with my 3in kit.

I had a 6" Tuff Country spacer lift on my 07 2500...was on the truck when I bought it. The ride was very stiff, and it didnt have much articulation. I tried to make it better by adding a set of Top gun customs 6" progressive rate coils and Bilstein 5100 shocks. It helped a little, but still wasnt up to my standards. From there, I swapped out the Tuff Country short arms for a set of Pure Performance Long arms...things are starting to get better. Last step was to replace the 4" rear block with a set of Atlas progressive leaf springs out back. That is what finished the deal for me. I was finally starting to get decent articulation and the ride was bearable again.

On my 2010, I decided to skip all that part swapping and went straight for the best. I now run a 3" Thuren/Carli mixed suspension with Bilstein 5160 resi shocks that rides like a car on the highway but articulates like a powerwagon, and can fly 3' in the air and come down without breaking something. These higher end parts arent cheap, but they are well worth the cost if you plan to run your truck hard.

Heres my 03 2500 with a 6" Tuff Country lift and 37x12.5x17's. It rides a little hard, but its a lifted truck, I can't complain. One thing I will tell you, with 35" or 37" tires I would put a dual steering stabilizer in it and a steering box stabilizer.

i just picked up a similar truck, mine is 2WD, and i'm looking at spindles right now, apparently only CST and a company called Maxtrac are the options? Bleh...was hoping for more option, dont want to dish out 1500+ for a kit.

Hey blwn, how did your truck handle power wise after you put on the 35s? Im looking at doing 35s on my 2500 hemi but im worried about the performance with the tires.

I recently lifted my 2003 dodge ram 2500 with a 4 inch skyjacker lift kit. But not the front end is higher than the rear and it looks alil funny. Any advice? It's been maybe a month so I don't think it's still "settling"

Bigger block in the rear or an Add-a-leaf should take care of it
