small body lift

[BigHorn777]

Hey guys, does anyone know of someone that makes like a 1-1.5" body lift?
I know it sounds silly, but I don't want to go to much higher than I am. I am leveled with 35's but thinking I might like just a tad more height. Any info would be great, thanks guys.
Oh I have a 2007 1500 4X4

Craig, I don't know of anyone that makes a body lift less than 3". However, you could do shocks. Bilstein, and Rancho both make shocks that provide lift. Give me a few and I will get links.

you think thats bad, i know a guy who made a 4" BL for his ford with schedule 40 sewer pipe. needless to say it didnt last but a day... haha

:facepalm: I didn't read the sig. My bad! Talk to Rubber Frog...perhaps he could fab one for you!

 

[RubberFrog]

Your best bet for that small of lift is a set of lift struts.

 

[The Assassin]

He already has them.

 

[RubberFrog]

Switch them for stock and do a three inch body lift. lol

Seriously, the bumper brackets are a nightmare.

That's not a half bad idea.

Thanks for all the ideas guess I have to go with a 3", Rubber frog I did watch your video and it looked like a nightmare of a job. Could you send me some pictures of the back of your truck, I'd like to see how much the trailer hitch shows before I go and order a 3" lift. Maybe you could come up and help me install it also? ha, ha, ha... Seen your a expert at it now. I was also wondering if I would have to redo my bull bar then? I already fabricated a taller bracket to move it higher up and also cut holes in the lower air dam to make it fit as close to the bumper as I could get it. Thing is they make a 1.5" body lift for Chevy and Ford, just haven't found if for a dodge.
I was going to do the Rancho lift before the Bilsteins, but it was so pricey. I can not believe how $$$$ the suspension lifts are for our trucks with the independent front suspension.

You'd have to fab something up for the bull bar too since it mounts to your frame

Craig, where do you live?

 

[Oefootball_70]

I have a one inch body lift installed on my truck...

the 3" body lift is a great mod, and doesnt take THAT long, especially if you have help. I had some problems with the steering extension but ended up finding a super easy and quick way to fix it.

The lift blocks they make are plastic. If you could find someone to cut 3" or 4" thick billet stock you could make your own. New bolts and you would be golden. I dont think you have to do all of the extensions with the 1"

 

[Oefootball_70]

Nope, no extensions for 1 inchers. Only thing is you have to grind the holes of the bumper brackets to move the bumpers higher.

People have done a 1" body lift, performance accessories has 1" lift pucks and you just need to replace the bolts an inch longer! From what i know the only thing you have to mess with other then the lift pucks/bolts is the bumper brackets. Just got to enlarge the holes so you can move them up an inch, other then that nothing else to worry about. Here is a link to the puck.
