lifting my 4x4
 
I'm trying to level out my 96 dodge 3500 4x4 it nose dives pretty bad but my question is whats the biggest spacer i can put on it without having to drop pitman arm or anything

you should be able to get away with 3" coil spacers no problem, it'll ride stiff, and next after that i'd get an adjustable trackbar whenever you can afford it. You should be good to go :tu:

I wouldn't go with anything over 2...it'll cause issues with the whole front end pulling itself out of alignment. Hellbentsteel sells 2 in leveling kits for around $70. I've used them before, and they work great, and easy install.

The biggest I have installed without touching anything is 2.5".... Thats only because someone asked me and paid me do do it. Even if i installed a 2" I would still put an adjustable trac bar in as the bare minimum!

Fully agree with what Matt and dennhop said, BUT you can get away running 3"...thats what i have on mine, all it could use is an adjustable trackbar and steering stabilizer which i have coming, otherwise you'll wear out balljoints and tie rods in time

if its sagging real bad ur springs r probably well worn u could just add a spacer or u could buy some real real shit like gen 3 front springs which have a higher weight rating if u have a big bumper or winch it will keep it from sagging, an level it out some. if ur just going with a spacer i would do a 2" an a adjustable track bar or else u will have to but a wheel spacer on the passenger front side to keep it even.

i was thinking with a 2 1/2 inch

Iv got a set of rough country leveling springs from top gun customs rides a
Little stiffer as expected but Im just not a fan of spacers an the cost wasn't to bad

Any spacer will make the truck ride pretty crappy :td:
