3rd Gen removing 6" lift and leveling ?'s

Before you swap out the control arms, springs, track bar bracket, and pitman arm. Check the bump stops, the sway bar brackets, or links, and brake lines. That stuff may have been changed too.

Thanks. I took a look and I will need to swap out bump stop extensions and sway bar links. There's brake line extenders so that shouldn't be too bad.

I just threw my original parts in a shed when I got my lift. I can see what's in the box. I am sure it will have a majority of what you are looking for.

That would be awesome whitey.

Looks like I have the upper and lower control arms, front and rear springs, Maybe all of the hardware (not sure), sway bar end links. I have the original track bar but I think its bushings are loose. I'm not sure if the pitman arm is in the boxes somewhere but I can check tomorrow. Honestly I have destroyed so many steering parts I'm not sure what I will find for steering.

Keep in mind that I was wheeling my truck a few days after I got it and wheeled it often. So I can't say the bushings are great but I don't recall any looseness from the control arms or rear springs before I got my lift. My truck is an 06 quad cab by the way. Let me know if you want pics. And how you want to get your hands on the parts.

Thanks whitey. PM sent. I'm interested in everything except the rear springs. I think Fastenal might be the easiest and cheapest if there is one near you.

So I am swapping some suspension components in a couple weeks with a stock ram 2500/5.7 and haven't completely locked down coils. Are there some replacement coils out there to buy that will get me to stock PW height?

I haven't forgotten about you Adam! It's been a hectic week here, I'm sorry for the delay. I'll get you some pics and a shipping quote tomorrow though!

Okay, thanks Colibri. Whitey is looking into shipping as well. I did find someone over on DT that would ship them, but it's a bit expensive.

Got them out of storage today and brought by ups for a quote, looks like around $80 bucks to your zip code.

Colibri, PM sent

Gotcha! I have a set of daystar leveling spacers for the front, if you want them I'll throw em in the box for free?

Colibri · Post by **Colibri** » Thu May 05, 2016 8:37 am

And found the stock swaybar end links as requested

adamdh1 · Post by **adamdh1** » Thu May 05, 2016 4:28 pm

Colibri,

I believe I have some coils and links on the way from Whitey. If that doesn't work out, I will let you know.

Colibri · Post by **Colibri** » Thu May 05, 2016 4:31 pm

Cool, good luck getting her squared away!

whitey · Post by **whitey** » Fri May 06, 2016 12:47 am

springs and sway bar end links where already sent by me yesterday - 5/4/16 through Fastenal.

Confirmed they are on the way and should be here this week. Thanks again whitey!
