probably not, but I would wait on their email back. I got these 3" springs- PerformanceLifts.com -- CST 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 3" Suspension Lift they gave me 3 inches but it says if you have the hemi you might only get around 2 or so

Hmm I've never seen those springs before, they might be your best option an you can pair them with the shock you want
So much for budget lol

Might want to look into lift struts too, they tend to give 3" and don't mess up your ride.

Aren't those for 4WD only though? I have a 2WD.

Yeah, height adjustable shocks can only be used in a coil over assembly like used in 06-present 4x4

My brother had ten on his Cherokee, just your typical gas charged shock but he never had any complaints with them

Will the Rough Country Springs actually provide the 2 inches of lift or will it be less than 2 inches since I have the HEMI motor?

I'm contemplating adding a spacer on the 2 inch spring since I need 3 inches to level my truck out. Would this be ok or would it mess stuff up? ( I figure this is about the same as the 3/1 lift RC has but cheaper)

What's wierd is I haven't even seen 2" coils on RCs site only spacers but they should be very close to 2"
For what it would cost for the springs and then a spacer I would just get the 3" springs linked above and not worry about it

That's the funny thing. If you add up all the costs for 2" springs/spacer/shocks it's less than 3" springs/shocks/blocks.

I've just read some mixed reviews on Rough Country coils so it's holding me back from getting them. I've heard they tend to sag which obviously I don't want happening.
