Please Post Your 3in Lift on 33in Tires!!!

[RamNooby]

This is the setup that I am thinking about getting. I would really like to see your trucks that have this setup or similar ones so I can see what it looks like instead of just guessing that it will look like I want it to. So please post pictures of your trucks and if you have any advice for me it would be well appreciated!

Are you a 4x2 or 4x4? The 05 QC we have is a 4x4 with cranked bars and 33 BFG's.

Subd. I'll post pics tonight when I get off work of my 03

 

[RamNooby]

I have a 2wd 1500. Any pictures with a setup like I described would be greatly appreciated! And ya whenever works for you, I will be checking this regularly

 

[quietpeen]

are you talking about a 3" body lift?

 

[RamNooby]

I'm planning on getting a 3in Rough Country suspension lift. I was also thinking of putting it on some 33in tires. None of this is really set in stone thought. I am new to all this kind of stuff and have only had my truck for 2 months so I need all the help I can get.

 

[quietpeen]

i think that would be very similar to a 4x4 with the front leveled so 33's would look good

 

[RamNooby]

And do you recommend getting a leveling kit in addition to the 3in lift? Because right now everything is stock and it has that "nose dive" look to it. I wasn't sure if most people get their truck leveled or if they leave it be with the nose dive look

 

[Stangshcky12]

If your getting the kit I think you are and you want to be level
Don't install the rear block
You can't use a leveling spacer ontop of your kit
The only way to go higher would be to do something like the cst 4" kit

If this helps:
05, 2wd, 6" RC lift, 305/55/20 Nitto Terra Grapplers (33") on Moto Metal 951 20x10's

 

[RamNooby]

So if I didn't use the rear blocks would the lift not be as high? And that is a nice lookin truck. How much is that 6in lift compared to the 3in? And how much is a cst 4in lift?

Here ya go... 2002 ram 1500 5.9 with 3 inch Rough country lift without block installed
on 33 x 12.5 x 20 nitto terra grapplers

[RamNooby]

So that is the 3in lift without the rear blocks??

 

[RamNooby]

is it an option to get it leveled before I get the lift kit installed?

 

[Stangshcky12]

The rear block only raises the rear .75" or 1" I can't remember
Lifting the front end 3" will leave your truck nearly level, the rear block is your choice if you want a little more height and don't mind the rake

That "lift" kit is a very popular way to level 2wds because of the rake of 2wd trucks
There are spacers out there to "level" the truck but te RC kit you are looking at is the best way to go IMO as it uses a new coil spring rather then a spacer

To lift the front end anymore more then ~3" you would have to go with a spindle lift (can be used with lift springs)

 

[schroederMP]

You can either level it... or get the 3" lift kit. NOT BOTH. The two lifts wont work together. So your gonna have to make a choice on what you want.

If you want the leveled look...going with a leveling kit. With it being a 2wd... you dont have to worry about CV angles. a 3" level up front will do the trick. If it lifts the front to much for your taste...you can always add blocks to the rear.

[BLKDODGE04]

I just looked it up and the RC 3 inch suspension lift has 1 1/2 rear blocks. Does that mean thats how high the back will be lifted and the front will be lifted 3in?
