Lift Question.

cavogorman · Mar 14, 2016

So I just put on a RCX 6" suspension lift on my 2006 dodge ram 1500 4x4. My question is I can't find any struts for my truck with the 6 inch lift. Does anyone know of somewhere I can buy some.

Any OEM replacement strut will work. Otherwise Bilstein 5100's are the most popular option which is what I'd recommend. You'll still be using the strut spacer that came with your RCX kit.

Thanks for the info. Im trying to find some 5100's but I cant find any that fit, they are all for mega cabs or single cabs.

Thank you for the help guys. I'm very new to working on vehicles and I am trying to get familiar with it. I'd rather build my own truck than just go to a lot and buy it. I've been doing some research and is it absolutely necessary to change the gearing with the lift?

Not necessarily. That comes in when you start changing your tire size. And really only depend on what gears you already have. If you don't go above 35" tires and already have 3.92 gears I'd say your good to go. Other wise if your running a set of 3.55s and planning to goto 35"s or larger I'd look into gearing down to 4.10s or possibly 4.56 gears.

Yea I have the 3.92's and they turn my 35's real good so hopefully you have them factory so you won't have to mess with it.

Okay thank you guys very much for the information, I think I have to hold off on tires since I'm in Europe for now and haven't found a site that will ship over here to APO.
