Im looking into puttung a 3 inch lift on my truck i was looking at the rough country because it looks like the best bang for my buck. I dont like the blocks in the rear because the truck has 3inch factory blocks, so im going to put tuff countrys add a leaf.

my questions are what size tires should i run with out changing my gears, and is there any other parts ill need?

this is the lift kit
Dodge Suspension Lift Kits
and here is the add-a-leaf

I notice the kit doesn't come with a track bar bracket anymore, although I'll assume it may have one. If not, your axle will be uncentered under the truck.

How much is the 5 inch kit? It uses all the same components except for the springs. You'll find soon enough you'd wish you'd done that. :)

Can you PM me the info on the lift kit? I might be interested. I want more lift, but don't want to break the bank. $500 seems fair, especially if you can beat that price. Can I keep my 2.5" leveling kit and add-a-leafs with the kit you have?

Thanks

You wont be able to keep your leveling kit or the add-a-leaf. All the kit is going to do it raise your front end an inch at most.

No but you can keep them if you go with a 3" body lift that is way cheaper than $500

PM me if interested .

PM Sent. I definitely want more lift. A 3" BL would work for now until I get more money saved up for a 5" suspension lift.

I must say dont go rough country if you want more bang i think for somewhere around 700 topguncustomz.com has a 3 inch lift that uses coil springs and add a leaf which that really is the best compared to a block and it usually fits 35's
