just a heads up ..and new mod

[ramhunter9]

I will be gutting the old suspension and doing a 6" lift starting this Friday .

Going with different parts from different manufactures . Getting the best parts from different kits , kinda like a build your own kit .

6" progressive rate springs from TGC . Better than stock ride only progressive rate springs on the market . Most coil springs have rates that are constant. If it takes 400 lbs to compress the spring the first one inch, another 400 lbs will compress it the second inch, and so on. With a progressive rate coil, the initial couple of inches of compression requires less spring rate than the remainder of compression. This improves your ride quality greatly, yet rate increases when it's called upon...say during off road. With progressive rate coils the first few coil wraps are more closely spaced than the remaining coils.

Also from TGC 5" blocks ... If you have ever wanted blocks that are made for RAM specific trucks check them out . Only ones on the market to offer the 2 tab design and are the same 3" wide as what comes stock . Most blocks are 2" wide and the leaf springs are wider than the block ... not these same width as the leaf springs . Went with a 5" inch block to give me a 1" higher stance in the back for towing purposes . 6" front 4" rear will level . I will be 1" higher in the rear witch is what I want .

Drop Pitman arm from skyjacker 6"

Upper and lower control arms custom cut for the 6" lift

carrier bearing drop kit for the 2 piece drive shaft found in the megas

trac bar

Bilstein shocks to finish her up .

pics will be soon . plan is start Friday night finish Saturday

True. Plus once you do one side the other side is a piece of cake

 

[ramhunter9]

lifts are 10x easier on a SFA than a IFS . My old IFS ram was a hard install , the SFA lift on the truck now was easy , the 6" should go smooth .

Sounds like you put together a nice 6" kit. Can't wait to see the pics.

Are you going to run the same tires you have on it now? Or are you going bigger?

 

[ramhunter9]

sold the 37's a few months back made money on them plus i got these 35's "new" to boot .

I like the look of the 37's but damm them things were heavy and really slowed the truck down . so i will stick with the 35's

it will look good trust me .

 

[ramhunter9]

here is a pic of a truck like mine with 6" lift and 35's

crap, I forgot that one of my buds out here in STL has a BUNCH of crap for sale for a lifted SFA.

I have a almost complete brand new pieced together 6" lift.
Only thing missing is the 6" front coils and a AAL or 4" block out back.
I have never installed this it's just been sitting in the garage.

Kit comes with
drop pitman
trackbar drop bracket
8 Bilstein 5100 shocks. 2 on each corner.
the brackets for the front and rear of the truck to make the dual shocks work.
Thuren 1 3/4" lift shackel for the rear springs aswell.
6" upper and lower control ams aswell.

I have $600 in the shocks alone on this setup.

I'm asking $850 for the hole kit shipped. To the lower 48 ONLY.
Again all that is needed is the front coil springs and a block or aal out back.
This won't work on a IFS truck.

Reason I'm selling the kit is I want to sell the truck and buy a new Grand Cherokee next fall.

I'll have pic's up tonight for this.

pics fellas

850 wow

then add 300 for springs
150 for blocks
55 for drop kit for carrier

$1355.00 not bad considering 2 shocks up front .

I spent $1300 on the new set up . and thats with single shock set up .. dammit .

 

[The Assassin]

NICE! I can't wait to do my lift!

A Nice writeup would be nice!! lol Can't wait to see it.

 

[Mega-Hemi]

You've got Bilstein 5100's w/ your 3" lift now don't you? Are you looking to sell them or is the 3" staying together to sell as a kit?

 

[HKkid]

Awesome man! Can't wait to see this finished up.

Just wondering if the axle in the rear and the diff in the front were pitched too compensate for the aggressive angle from the lift. If not , your gonna blow out u-joints quicker than normal imo.
