4 Skyjacker Shocks-94-02 Ram 2500/3500 w/1.5-3" lift
I found this on ebay and wanted to know if this is a legit way to get 3" out of my truck. Im not looking for a huge lift kit or anything but I also dont just want to do a leveling kit... Anyways, Ill let some of you experts out there let me know whats good...

Those are just shocks that will work with 1 1/2-3" of lift. You will need springs or spacers to get any lift..

 

I just did 3 inches on the front with some soft ride coil springs and put 2 inches on the back with a helper spring and a spacer block. Then I put in the Bilstein 5100's.

 

ok so im looking at about... well at the lowest 550.00 to get around 3 inches all around aye? i guess it'll be worth it when it looks better...

 

it will be less than that.

a coil spacer and shocks will be around $235. that will make the front level with the rear. If you want it a little higher in the rear than you can do an add a leaf and they are $50.

so at the most You'll be looking at $300-$325

 

If your usin the coil spring spacer you still use the stock length shocks so you may not need new ones. If you go with new springs you will need the taller shocks but you will get a much nicer ride if you use the right ones.

GRI, I don't know where you found the leveling blocks and shocks for $235 but I wished I'd found that place earlier. Usually yur gonna pay around $60 for the blocks and shocks can vary by brand. I stuck with Bilstien 5100's on mine, I've used other brands without much luck.

Like GRI said though, just get a helper spring and I just cut out a peice of 3/4 inch flat plate and made a block to put with it. They wanted like $40 to buy a block and mine is the same thing without the fancy paint that won't last the week anyway.

 

if you raise the front you should get longer shocks. you dont have to but if you hity a big enough bump youll bottom the shock out
I was talking $235 for just the lift parts
no blocks ADD A LEAF adds 1.5 to 3". its better than blocks

4 shocks $135
coil spacer $80-120
add a leaf $40-80

 

The add a leaf I just put in added about 1/2 an inch by itself, and that's being gracious, it was someplace closer to a 1/4 inch in reality but I'm givin it the benefit of the doubt. That's why I pulled it apart and added the block to it.

I moved the factory block that is under the top overloads down under the main pack and put my 1/2 block back in it's place under the overloads. The factory block was just that little bit thicker then what I made.

 

was it a helper spring or a add a leaf?

any add a leaf that I installed lifted 1.5" to 3". heck I had one on my 1500 that lifetd it 4.5"

 

Last time I used lift pucks, I used RevTek, but this time, I will prolly go with these guys. $65 shipped....
