I picked up some brand new skyjacker 3" lift springs for $100. I got shocks and a track bar bracket. Can I get by with that. Will I be able to get it aligned correctly without new control arms?

 

you might want a rear block.. a 3 inch front lift is an inch taller than a leveling kit.. will look funny if you ask me.. but you should be just fine without new lower control arms.

 

I notice in your signature that you already have a leveling kit.......are you adding the springs to the leveling kit or swapping the leveling kit out with the 3" springs?

If you are adding to the leveling kit I'd say you are going to have some issues with the stock control arms, they are going to be way to short!!

good point.. i didnt even notice that signature ;x definitely too tall for stock control arms if you already have a spacer in there..

 

No I'm pulling the leveling kit. Just putting in the springs. It looks a lot better with the 35's i bought the other day but the front still has a little bit of a dive. I think with the one inch raise and after time I'm hoping they'll sag maybe 1/2 and inch and it'll look perfect. Anybody tried it?

 

you'll come to hate those springs, but for $100 I guess you can't go wrong.

Stock CA's are fine until you get to 4".

 

i've only seen people with the leveling kit that uses just springs on the new 3rd gen dodges.. all the levelings kits (just front lift) that i've seen on the 2nd gens are spacers and shocks in the front.. but stock coils..

 

Yep i second the coming to hate those springs I have them on my 2001 and the truck leans. They will beinggoing in the garbage soon.

 

It leans? Why does it lean? Inferior coils or what???

Thanks for the info.
