CST 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 3500 2wd 3.5" Lift # CSK-D12-1

CST Performance Suspension 3.5" Stage 1 Lift System # CSK-D12-1 fits 2009 - 2012 Ram 3500 2wd IFS trucks. The included CST Lift Spindle # CSS-D1-4 will provide a true 3.5" inches of front suspension lift. The rear is lifted using a CST billet steel 1" rear lift block kit that will provide a level stance on most Ram 3500 series trucks. By increasing the front suspension ride height by 3.5" inches and adding a larger tire the 2wd Ram trucks start to look a lot more like the 4x4 Rams do. CST has designed this lift to allow you to reuse the existing front and rear shock absorbers. Replacement shocks are not required but are available.

The included rear lift is a 1" lift block (with correct pin design for Ram HD trucks) and longer U-bolts. A longer rear shock is not required when installing this 1" lift block.

Features & Benefits:

The CST 3.5" Lift Spindle provides an honest 3.5" inches of front suspension lift and is hand built from CNC cut steel, MIG welded, and then CNC finish machined to ensure it's going to fit right the first time with no modifications necessary to install. It is almost a shame that the quality and craftsmanship is somewhat covered up by the low-gloss Black Powdercoat finish. The quality of these spindles is absolutely top notch and they are stronger than the factory pieces they replace. This product  will outlast the rest of the truck. If your goal is to level your Ram we recommend the CST 3.5" Lift Spindles and included 1" Lift Rear Block & U-Bolt kit. Some trucks may not require the 1" rear block to achieve a level stance but most do. These CST CSS-D1-4 3.5" lift spindles are for use on 2009-2012 model year 2wd Ram 3500 trucks. For use on INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION MODELS ONLY! This product will NOT fit any 4x4 models! This product will NOT fit the 2008 and earlier model years as the wheel hub design is completely different on the earlier trucks. Will NOT fit any Ram 3500 built on Mono-Beam front suspension!

Tire & Wheel Fitment:

CST states that with their 3.5" lift spindle installed (without any additional coil spring or spacer lift) the maximum recommended tire size is 33" x 12.50" on up to a 9" wide wheel. Anything taller or wider is beyond CST recommendation and is left entirely up to the installer. Minor trimming may be required when running this tire size. Running larger 305 or 315 series tires like a 315 / 70 / 17 will require additional lift and/or trimming to prevent rubbing. Maximum recommended wheel back space is 5.00" inches. Factory Ram 17" wheels will not work with this spindle unless a wheel spacer is installed. CST recommends the use of aftermarket wheels when installing this lift spindle.
