Need more lift

[Tmanram]

Hey guys. New to the forum but got a question for you all

Right now I'm running 6" suspension and 3" body lift. But I'm rolling with 43" tires and I had to do some cutting in the fenders. But I now have a nice chunk missing in my fenders because of this. So I'm looking to get another 2" of lift but not sure how. I don't know if the levelling kit would be good enough in the front and I wouldn't know what to do in the back.

What do you guys suggest.

Welcome to RF!

I would suggest talking with Danny over at Dodge Off Road and he'll suggest ways to do this correctly.
It won't be the cheapest route, but doing a big lift like this properly seldom is.

Is dodge off road a whole other forum or just a topic?

Dodge Off Road is a company that manufactures high quality heavy duty lift components for 2nd gen trucks. He is one of less than a handful that still do.
His specialty is lifts that are 7 inches or more, and he is capable of custom work as well.
Since he has or is building trucks that regularly run 40 inch or larger tires, he would be the best source of information if one is wanting to do the job right.

I wouldnt run a spacer on top of your 6" lift
I'm guessing its a short arm lift so not only will you be pulling the axle back but your control arms will be on a very harsh angle
You would probably be ok running an adjustable track bar with the track bar drop that is probably on your truck now
Sway bar links would need to be lengthened or the sway bar dropped (which ever method your lift kit didnt use)
Probably need a different drop pitman arm and idk about driveshafts after that much lift

This is the best picture I have right now. She's tucked into storage for now. As you can she's rough around the edges because I'm still working on getting things to fit. But you see how I had to cut off the bottom of the front fender to get those wheels to have enough clearance?

I'm aware of how ice landers run thier rigs, we used to have a couple that posted on another forum I'm on...years ago. I can't remember if it's thier lift laws or what the reason is. It's a good idea becuse it keeps the CG low.

I'm not into hacking away stuff unless it's for wheel tubs or absolutely nessesary...and then I still try to do something else or utilize products avalible that minimize or eliminate the need. Sadly those trucks would never work in some the places I used to go.
