Brand of Lift
 
Looking to buy a 6 or 4.5 inch lift pretty soon and wanna know what lifts you have and how they ride

For the money you can't beat a Rough Country for those. I've driven Dodge's with all the other brands under them, and I really, really like the spring rates and shock valving on their kits better. Plus you can't beat the price on their 5" kit.

i had a 4" TC on a dakota was great stock ride extra hieght.

i had 5.5" skyjacker on a 95 stdcab shortbox ram and a 98 club cab shortbox ram, needed a kidney belt in both, totaled the 95 b-4 i could fix it. the 98 i fixed by buying after marker coil springs with the same spring rate as stock but with extra hieght for the front (worth noting is that the wire diameter of the new springs was much less than the skyjackers). I also bought a set of adjustable arms they were reasonably piced and helped alot. then got rear leafs in the with the same rate as stock but one inch more hieght and used the stock block plus the 4" block from the kit.

If you like the ride of your truck stay away from the add a leafs, IMO they stiffen the rear to much and don't give the advertised hieght (maybe for a leveling effect) either way i hated both add a leaf set ups.

Both trucks ran 35 15 12.50 bfgs

i rode in a friends ford with a fab tech and it rode nice.

this is what I run on my truck and its actually a pretty smooth ride, the kits with full coils are much smoother then the ones with the spacers in them. I would also recommend a dual steering stabalizer also, you can pick them up for pretty cheap like $150. The only thing I hate about it is its to short lol, so I added a 3" body lift.

Go with rough country. Good price + quality. Fabtech is good to but more pricey.
