lift question

[js99ram]

Hey eveyone, new here and new to straight axle trucks. I am planning on lifting my truck to clear my 35s and i have a set of 3 in front coil spring spacers, and was wondering of i needed any other parts, ie, control arms, track bar drop bracket, ect. Any input would be appricated.

Welcome to RF!

Well....when you use those 3 inch spacers on your truck without arms or any trackbar mods you will move the axle back in your wheel well about an inch an uncenter your axle under the truck about as much. So your tires might rub even after you lift your truck to suspension geometry changes. There are other minor but annoying issues as well.
I would suggest the proper arms and the right trackbar bracket or an adjustable trackbar.

But at 3 inches wouldn't a new coil spring make more sense?

I like rough country. for what I do with my stuff it works. and the price is good.

$500 for 3" lift: includes control arms, coils, sway bar brackets, small rear lift, and all the shocks

I have had several lifts from this brand on a few trucks and my jeep. the control arm bushing arent bad compared to some other brands. thats really the only wearing part.

there is a vendor here that you might be able to get a discount with.

otherwise, you could get a 3" body lift. for about $200-300
