hey guys i got 2008 1500 i currently have a 6 inch rough country lift with 37 inch tires but i'm looking into getting a long travel kit but the aftermarket support sucks for rams and anything i can find is for a fourth gen i know there are a lot of similarities in the front end components but i don't want to go spend the money on something that doesn't fit any of you guys come across any third gen long travel kits

At the price point I've seen for even mid travel kits, I can't imagine you couldn't have a full custom suspension built. I know that's not fully answering your question, but perhaps food for thought.

You would definitely want a well experienced shop to handle a build like that.

I have a third gen that's caged front to rear, strapped at 18". The fronts running a 2.0 bumpstop, 2.5 C/O and a 3.0 bypass. Rear is spring hung with deavers and a 3.0 bypass and 2.5 bumpstop. LSK built the front end and cab cage, a buddy helped with the rear. Its getting ready to be sent back to LSK to have the rear linked and a 9" put in. Be ready to spend around 15k for the front end... Dont think LSK has it up on the website, you'll most likely have to call and ask them about it.IMG_4397.JPGIMG_4851.JPGIMG_8567.JPGIMG_20151104_124858.JPG
