How to get 2 more inches of a lift?

[allblackedout]

whats up everyone just got this 14 ram sport and wanting to lift it up like 2 more inches or so. With that being said I've been looking into the leveling kits which looks like a cheaper route so I'm wondering if my truck already has a leveling kit if not what would be the best think i can get trying to stay under 1000.

Looks to me like it already has a leveling kit installed. You'll want to look at the front end and determine if it was done with a spacer kit (most likely) or Bilstein 5100 adjustable front struts.

You have a couple option to go up from there. The first would be a full 4" suspension lift which is the best option IMO. The second would be a body lift which will get you the height cheaper. Either way you'll want to find out what is on there first so we know where to start.

Or post a pic of your front suspension and we can tell you what you have most likely.

any of these pics any good?

We'll never had those, but they are not stock I can rest assured that. Someone else will chime in on the brand. Doesn't look like a spacer is in there though.

As said before definitly not stock.

Ps. I too came from a nsrt4, mine was fixing to be a dedicated drag car which is why I bought the truck in the first place. Unfortunately it was totaled just weeks before coming off the road.

damn that sucks..mine was a daily 370/370 put a ton of money into it but it broke down like 1000 times so after the last breakdown i was like **** this garbage car and sold it for 3.5k and started searching for trucks and came across this ram and was like damn this thing is baaadd!

Those are coilovers. Fox 2.0s maybe

i was thinking it was stock height since when i got it from the dealership there was like 9 rams lined up all the same height?

If those are Fox 2.0 you scored big. I just picked up a set for mine and they aren't cheap.
Look on the coil and it should have a fox logo on it

 

[brandonjansen]

Yup, as the others stated those are Fox coilovers which is definitely a great thing to have

So as I stated in my first post, a 4" suspension lift or body lift will be your two options. With either one you'll use the Fox coilovers on the front end.

 

[allblackedout]

well guys so i end up seeing the FOX logo and y'all were right, so with that being said do y'all have any recommendations what body lift i can get and the body lift will be an add on right?

 

[SwollenMonkey16]

Body lift has nothing to do with the suspension. It's basically spacers between the body and frame that create lift. It's cheaper and less expensive to maintain. So that being said, your current ride will go unaltered.

 

[Csanders1992]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe fox 2.0s can be set at stock height. Which if that's the case you can adjust them up 2-2.5" of lift. This is assuming yours are set to stock height (you said it looked the same as others).

yeah i think its stock height cuz my truck isn't taller than most trucks on the road and there was a bunch of other rams that were the same height as mine at the dealership

that would be sweet if i can adjust them or would i need some of these

Take some fender measurements and post them up here. That'll tell us whether or not you are at stock height

According to Fox, the 2.0 comes preset to the 2" setting. I took a picture of mine and don't plan to adjust them, maybe that will help you figure the amount of lift that yours are set to.

Judging by the pictures in the OP's first post the truck is leveled; it certainly isn't sitting at stock height, that's for sure.

Agreed, I'd guess its the default setting of 2"
