So I'm thinking about putting a body lift on my ram truck. I've been looking around the forums and see leveling kits, spacers, and body lifts kits. If someone says that they have a 2" leveling kit and a 3" lift kit, does that mean its a total of a 5" lift? What if I wanted a total lift of 2-3"....can I just get the lift kit?
2-3" total lift?

Yes a 2" level with a 3" body gives a total of 5" lift. That's what I've got on my truck (see pic).
if you just want 2-3" of lift you have 2 options. You can do a leveling kit in the form of bilsteins or spacers, or you can do a 3" body lift.
The advantage of a body lift is that the ride won't change at all. Disadvantage Is that it won't level to the truck, which may not bother you. I have a 1" rake on my truck and I love it because when I put something in the back it's completely level.

Spacers cause over extension and cause the weak UCA to pop the ball joint out. Many fix this by using 09-12 UCA's, or using the Zone UCA leveling kit. You can also use the Bilstein 5100's but I think Ive read a few members having the balljoint pop with thise as well.
