Newbie Question

[argray90]

I am new to trucks being as my daily commute is now under a mile round trip. My buddy is lifting his ram a bunch and is giving me his old full lift kit which is:

2009 2012 Dodge RAM 1500 4WD 2 5" Front 2 0" Rear Full Lift Kit Leveling Kit F | eBay

With that full lift kit will I need new springs or struts or anything new to put them on or can they just be installed? Probably sounds stupid but I am learning.

those look like levelers or spacers so they are supposed to go with your stock stuff. its normally just to level your rake out some but in this case it will be raising you 2 inches. but we are all learning . Look in the DIY section will find lots of cool projects to play around in.

Ok great thanks! I am new to this website so I will check things out.

Welcome to the forum!!!

You will not need anything new. The kit you show just goes on top of your existing springs. You will however, need a front end alignment after the install.

How far up can you go in the back w/o needing shock extensions on the 1500s?

Well I have seen plenty with a 2.5 spacer on front which the goes on the coils and 1.75 on back no issues. and you of course can get a body lift of what 3 inches before anything major.

And of course when you get a suspension lift they put different shocks and coils on then peeps upgrade shocks from that point so.

IM sure somewhere in here is an answer to your questions

I know my political campaign is right around the corner.
