New to the Lifted Life

[newoldfart]

New to the lifted life, so I apologize in advance. I bought a Lifted 2013 Ram 1500 4X4 Sport. I measured the spacers for the body lift, 3", but do not know the measurement for the suspension lift. Is there any way to find out without taking the front end apart? Here's the reason I ask. It turns out that whoever did the aftermarket lift didn't change out the sway bar linkage. They just left the stock in there and now it's starting to tear itself apart. There are no markings indicating the brand of kit used so I don't know what brand of new linkage to buy. Any kind of help or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.

Throw up a picture and a brand of lift, that'd be a good starting point

Pics of the front end, struts, rear axle, etc would help. Is it the front, rear, or both?

I'll throw up some pics soon. Have no idea what brand of lift it is. Trying to get in touch with the old owner. I bought it off a used dealer and have much history on it.

edit: the linkage on the front drivers side is clanging.

You may just want to throw a set of stock replacement links on at least for the time being, won’t cost you any more then $40. May not even be a direct result of the lift, recently saw one go out on a stock 2016 with just under 100k. Clunking/clanking on ever turn and bump.

I may have to just to get by for now, but I want to have it all proper eventually.

Or just take it off for now to stop the clanking, then keep researching to figure out what you need so you only have to buy once.

Here are some pics of the situation. I don't know which one will help more so I put up both

You have strut top spacers on the top of your struts. It’s recommended to replace the struts with a height adjustable strut such as the Bilstein 5100’s (best bang for the buck) suspension max makes endlinks for leveled trucks

Thank you all for the input. What is the stock ride height for this truck? 21.5"?
