The 2wd Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks have been totally overlooked by the aftermarket suspension companies... until NOW! That's right, for the first time ever, a high quality 2wd lift kit is available for the 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007+ Ram 1500 Mega Cab, Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 8-lug trucks! PerformanceLifts.com has been asking for YEARS, literally YEARS (no joke!) to get a good quality SUSPENSION lift for these Ram trucks!Body lifts on these trucks don't improve the looks at all... but this CST 6.5" suspension lift sure as heck does. The Basics:
This CST 6.5" kit will provide a true 6.5" inches of front suspension lift and 3" inches in the back. The front is lifted more than the back to help LEVEL the truck front to rear. The heart of the lift is the CST lift spindle. Additional lift is provided by a 3" coil spring spacer that in total provides 6.5" of lift. With this amount of lift you can safely run a 35" diameter tire. This lift is sold as a complete system and includes EVERYTHING necessary to lift your 2wd Ram 3/4 or 1-ton truck. This lift is 100% compatible with all Dodge Ram engines, including the 5.7L Hemi V8 gas motor, the 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins diesel, Standard Cab, Quad Cab and Mega Cab models. Short bed, long bed, this kit fits them all. Features & Benefits:
The CST lift spindle isn't cast, it's fabricated from sheet steel and CNC'd parts, welded by hand, and finish machined to ensure it's going to fit right the first time with no modifications necessary to install. And while we are on the subject, some people call this a lift spindle, others call it a steering knuckle, call it whatever you want, we call it a lift spindle. This CST 3.5" lift spindle is MUCH beefier and stronger than the factory part it replaces. CST products ain't cheap to build and they are more expensive than the cheap stuff other companies produce. If you want cheap go somewhere else... if the price is too high all we can say is keep saving your pennies, this product is worth every last cent. This is one of the few products that we can honestly say will outlast the rest of the truck. If you've got a 6-speed manual transmission Ram with the Cummins you already know the addition of larger tires will drop your cruising RPM down. With the lift and a set of 35's you can reduce highway and freeway engine RPM... and a strange benefit is that in some cases a reduction in RPM can actually increase fuel economy. As always, your mileage may vary. Item Includes:
CST 3.5" Lift Spindles
CST Extended Front Brake Hose
CST 3" Coil Spring Spacer
CST 3" Fabricated Rear Block
CST U-Bolt & Hardware Kit
CST Rear Shock Absorbers
Detailed Installation Instructions PAY ATTENTION TO THIS!
This CST 2003-2007 6.5" lift is for use on 2wd Ram 1500 Mega Cab, Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 trucks only! This will NOT fit any 4x4 model or regular 1/2 ton Standard cab or Quad Cab models! The CST 3.5" lift spindles used in this lift system require the use of aftermarket wheels. The stock Ram wheel back space is too great and the taller spindle neck won't clear a factory wheel. If you ABSOLUTELY must run the factory wheels we'd advise you find a set of 1.250" wheel spacers. We recommend an aftermarket wheel with no more than 5.00" inches of back space. Do it the right way, run an aftermarket wheel with the correct back space. We do however offer a .500" wheel spacer that will allow the use of the emergency spare tire (stock wheel & tire only!) on the front end, but this is for EMERGENCY USE ONLY. If you want to run this lift on your truck you better start looking at aftermarket wheels. If you need help finding a set please let us know, we offer a wide range of wheels that work with this lift. The tire on the truck in the picture is a 325/65/18. It measures out to just under 35" inches in diameter and about 13" inches wide. On an 8" or 9" wide wheel this tire clears ok, so our advice is DO NOT RUN a wheel that's wider than 9" inches. What does that mean, avoid 10" or wider wheels if you can! Stick with a sliightly narrower wheel and your tires will be less likely to rub. If you have any questions, and we'd be surprised if you didn't, please let us know. Simply click on the "ASK A QUESTION" link located at the very top of this page, fill out the form and we'll get back to you in 1-2 business days. Sometimes within the hour.
