Don't know why they consider that 5" of lift, your just bringing the front end up so it is level with the back then your lifting the whole body up evenly 3". I wouldn't consider that a 5" lift.

Just making sure you know that a 3" PA body lift + and 2" leveling kit does not = $600 when bought seperately

neither do i. didn't see a description so i honestly thought it was a 5in body lift.

Most suspension lifts claim to be whatever (say a Fabtech 6in) but they raise the front maybe 5 and rear 3 or something like that. I dont know of any off shelf kits that literally raise the entire thing an exact height other than a true body lift

Actually Skyjacker, KORE, Fabtec, ProComp and I believe Superlift makes a true 6" suspension lift system.

I do believe they could manage that on a 2500 by KORE, Superlift, etc but if it really lifted the rear up 6 inches it would raise the front 8 1/2-9 inches, unless the kit left the rake

I do know that generally the pre-06 kits have you crank the torsions for the full 6in, and from what a few have said it takes a pretty steep angle to get it level

There is also a company that makes a 14" lift for the 1500's, there is a guy in GA that has one on his from another site I'm on. I would be a little leery of that but it does look awesome. I forget who the company is but, on the other side I have talked to some guys that do lifts and none of them think to much of this companies lifts. They say they are unstable and haven't had a good track record.

full throttle susp is one of the companies that makes a 10"+ lift but its only for the 02-05 (yes i know there website says 06 but there incorrect) i believe there is another company that makes a 12" kit too but its still for the 02-05 rams with the torsion systems.

ALL 02+ 1500 ram susp lifts raise the front end whatever the claimed height of the lift is or atleast close to it. and then they raise the rear at most 4". unless you buy taller lift blocks for the rear. i know for a fact that the skyjacker and superlift kits do this. and the zone 6" kit also. there websites state that on them.

that PA 5" kit is not a bad idea from them. but that site is a bit high. here is a much better price for that same lift kit

but even better since you have a 06, get the zone BL for 350ish and then get a HBS leveling kit for 80. save ya even more money.
