Cool I know you ford guys probably dont care , but...

I just got a suspension lift for my 2001 2wd dodge ram. Turns out in 2001 they redid the control arms and spindles so nothing 2000 or before would fit. Anyway, ive got 265/75/r16 BFG Allterrain Ko's on stock wheels and the lift is 1.5" spacers in the front for 3" of lift at wheel, rear blocks to even it out and four rancho rs9000 adjustable shocks. I figure the shocks will smooth out any stiffness in the front from the spacers. What do you guys think about this set up.. Help a dodge guy out. They may be different names, but theyre all a truck!

Welcome to F150online, and yes, we Ford guys do care! There is an absolute ton of info on this board that can help any truck owner!
I don't know much about your lift, but rs9000 are the way to go, if you can afford them. The Rams have a lot of fender space, and with a lift, 265's may look a bit small.

Hey, thanks for the welcome. I really have learned a lot on this site, even though i have a dodge, a lot of the stuff you guys are doing applys to all trucks. I just wish there were as many lift options for dodges as there are for fords. But the lift is only a 3", so im thinking it should look like a stock 4x4. Ive got the stock 4x4 tire size so we'll see. I hope they dont look too small since I just dropped 800 bucks on them.

There may be less options for Dodges, but the lifts are a heck of alot cheaper, because Dodge has the good ol' live axle up front, whereas Ford has got IFS. When it comes to guys like you and me working on out trucks, it really doesn't matter what kind, as long as we like to make them look, and perform better!
