Fabtech 1994-1999 4x4 Dodge Ram 1500 5.5" Lift Kit - When Dodge switched their front suspension from a solid axle/leaf spring design to a four link coil spring configuration they opened the world to a whole new type of performance suspension system. To take advantage of the incredible potential of the Dodge Ram 4 wheel drive, Fabtech has ventured out and created a performance suspension system like no other. Once again upholding the Fabtech tradition. This Fabtech Performance 5.5" suspension lift for the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 trucks applies race proven technology that beneifts you both on and off-road. Fabtech engineers designed a new suspension system using extended link arms, reinforced pivot points, track bar relocation bracket and matched coil springs. The extended link arms do a lot more than just look pretty. These extended link arms reduce caster change and provide a better ride and increased travel. Increased travel means a much better performing suspension ideal for off-road use. The new pivot point brackets Fabtech designed are stronger than stock and attach using brackets with multiple fastening locations. For maximum strength they also attach to the OEM frame crossmembers. The track bar relocation bracket helps to correct the front axle offset associated with lifting most four link suspensions. Fabtech has designed a highly reinforced track bar relocation bracket that solves the offset problem created when lifting your Ram. Another huge advantage Fabtech has over other kits is the use of matched coil springs. Fabtech knows that one spring cant work for ALL applications. Like most Dodge coil spring applications, the right and left front coil springs are different from side to side. Instead of making one coil spring for both sides, Fabtech stayed with Dodge’s concept and designed a different right and left coil spring. This helps prevent a leaning condition after the lift is installed and proves once again Fabtech has really thought this new kit design through from start to finish. Rear Lift:
The standard rear lift method is a 3" Fabtech FTSBK3 Block and an FTS3400UBK U-bolt kit that is used with a Fabtech FTS207 Add-A-Leaf that provides an additional 1.50" inches of lift. Please Note!
OEM wheels will not work with this kit, you must use wheels with a maximum 4 5/8 backspacing. The front drive shaft will need to be modified. This requires grinding the yokes down to prevent binding, lengthening is not required. Please contact Fabtech Motorsports for specific details. The installation of this kit requires welding. All welding must be performed by a professional welder. This kit will NOT fit 2000 or 2001 model year vehicles! Dual shock kit shown is available separately below. This is NOT included in the base 5.5 lift kit. When ordering the dual shock kit please be sure to select the Fabtech shocks designed for use with the dual shock kit, also available below.
