Default looking for suspension suggestions insight

After doing lots of research I am very interested in

Pure Performance Full Coil Over 8 inch lift
part numbers PPRAM80PR-03F, and PPRAM80DR-03R


further info can be found at pureperformance.biz

according to the manufacturer this suspension with some airbag helpers in back is stronger than the stock suspension.


here is my question. It is very expensive, and due to my lack of experience/knowledge I dont know for sure that there aren't more cost effective ways to reach the same endpoint, does anyone have a .02 to add, do you think it is worth the money (suggested retail is 7k, but pure performance says their distributors will offer discounts).

I dont mind payin good money for good products i do mind wasting money.

I also realize that a lift kit = bigger tires, = new gearing = tranny parts etc. etc, so i really need to nail down exactly how much i am gonna spend on the lift so i know how much more i will need for the other parts to support it...


My truck is a 2007.5 Ram mega Cab(6.7), edge juice with attitude (thnx luke), 2 inch revtek leveling kit and 20inch kmc rockstars. Other than that its pretty stock.

thanks for your help and your ideas

The PP kit is nice and yes any lift for the Dodge that is built well is top $$. The Dodges start to have steering issue's on the really big lift so the angles are very important. Really if you want to save alittle just get the front kit for coil overs and do a leaf pack in the rear and a good valved shock and you will be very happy with the ride over all.

The only other 2 8" lifts I would look at are Rize and Spirson. But all 3 are the best for the money spent.
