Try the Skyjacker D25's. They give you a 2 to 2.5 inch lift.

wrm . . . is yours bottoming out over bumps? There are several posts right now with people trying to figure out what to do to their '06's to keep the front from hitting bottom over small bumps (search on "06 bottoms out help"). I have that problem with my '06. Or are you looking for heavier springs for another reason?

I doubt that a winch will make it sit any lower. Mine doesn't seem to be any different with it on or off . . . .at least I can't notice it.

Try the springs off of a Cab and Chassis truck, i know that they are stronger cause they ride rougher. Wes

Firstdodge - Where did you get the front hitch that the winch is on? I have the same multimount setup and like how high up yours sits. I assume the Hidden hitch is the lower one?

You are right . . .the lower hitch is the Hidden Hitch. I use if for hauling other gear . . . and am working on a rack that will hold my sons 90cc ATV up there .

The other hitch is from Bodiak. Go to www.bodiak.net and you will see them. It fits right over the tow hooks. I painted mine to match the factory color. I also used the Randy Ellis light bar, but had to fab it by welding it to the Bodiak as the light bar from Randy Ellis also mounts behind the tow hooks. I really like the set up . . it works out nice.

I was having my heater block cord installed today and told my service guy at the dealer that several were having issues with the '06 front suspension. He said that it might become a recall. I asked him how DC got the information, and he said from repair requests and phone calls into the customer service line. I might give customer service a call and see what they say. I'm not holding my breath
