Lifting my 2500

KithekHunter · Sep 12, 2016

Hey everyone, new to Ram's not new to lifted vehicles!

I just have a question I need some help with so I can start planning out my build.

I have a 2006 Ram 2500 4x4 with the 5.7 HEMI in it. I'm looking to lift it between 4-6" and run 35's. However I really love the stock wheels and would like to keep those, does anyone run 35's on these rims? I imagine the stock offset would cause some rubbing of a 35" tire even on a lifted truck. If I choose to use the stock wheels would a wheel spacer need to be used? And if so how big of spacer?

Also any other general tips when lifting these trucks would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

The jury is still out on spacer reliability. But you should be able to run a 35 no problem.

Cheap way to lift it up - crank the torsion bars up front as far as they will go within alignment spec, measure the difference between the front and the rear, and add leaf spring blocks in the rear to even it up with the front.

Not so cheap way - get a 6" suspension lift from rough country, bds, skyjacker, or any of the other multiple lift companies. Just do your research and see which one fits your budget.

I've seen 37s on a front 3" lift

His is a 2500 bud, no torsion bars on them. I'd only do a 4" lift if you wanna run 35's cause they'll look pretty small on a 6" lift with a 2500.

Thanks for the replies guys. I was looking at the TC 4.5" Lift with the new coils and control arms for a lift, I can price one out for sub-$1000.

Also happy to hear that I -shouldnt- need wheel spacers to use the stock rims!
