my advise and tom l. may disagree but if you want to put wider tires on the truck and are going to need the wider rims to accommodate use a rim offset that will work with the existing axle. -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. im looking for a completely lift kit 3.5 inches front 3 inches rear since my truck is 1996 dodge ram 5.2l with 312 cid 8 cylinders. its a plow truck so front is one inches lower than rear. i just put all new suspension on it so i can have better ride when driving with plow. dont know my axle ratio yet just got the truck and fixed little up had 4x4 worked on new tranny altogether was 4 grand. i m looking to spend 3 grand in spring time on this truck. its easy to lift it up want two shocks in front with enlongated steering stabilizers better control arm and pitman arm my steering gear is getting wornt out so add other 300. i dont think it ll need new drive shaft after lifting it up 3 inches more. i also want 34 inches by 13 maybe 14 if permit this is why i asked about the axle from 2500 or 3500 on my 1500 i want make it look wicked mean. it would be nice if i had ten grand budget then i would go for 4 bore carb turn it into 5.9 liter with chrome headers chrome manifold chrome cat conventor chrome muffler. along with what i said above. my rear differentals r defitinely single wheel differental. right side but left side seems to lock on with right side when it comes to reversing or towing. its getting cold to work on my truck right now. any ideas dudes .

is this an automatic or standard shift -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving definitely an easy question for you guys. i have an 03 1500 4.7 is there is a certain mileage when i should get the transmission fluid changed also about that time to get new tires any suggestions the gs-as that came with the truck only made it 45k and expensive. thanks taf -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200611/1 .

tbone wrote front or rear axle while the axle should bolt right up the pinion will be a different size and require a modification to the drive shaft. both front and rear axle. even if its same year of truck but different in size and shaft requires modification i assume it ll be the same pinion size. the problem is that the 2500 and 3500 use different size u-joints than a 1500 series so your front and rear u-joints will be a different size than those on the transer case where that would be the same with the origional rears. wish dodge made their truck easier it is not a matter of making it easier or harder it is a matter of money. the 1500 is a bit underdesigned when it comes to the drive train as they use the same components as the dakota. you cant even get the standard shift with the 260 as the nv3500 is not up to the added torque. i guess that they think of it as just a big car. i never had problem except for 4x4 hi gear had new tranny and new 4x4 auto and runs so great. just want make some modification with my suspension and make it stronger for some serious mud ride if you really want to do that i would suggest replacing the transfer case as well with the nv4500 and then you can use the 2500 drive shafts as well. much stronger that way. im not sure how difficult it will be to fit it in as im sure the mounts will be different. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

tbone wrote neither do i but the level of greed form people like yourself will probably make it a reality in a few years. not mine. yes yours. it is people like you and your greed that forces the gubberment to pass reguations to protect the masses. it is your greed and political absurdity that is pushing the usa down that path. my greed.... me personally..... wow i didnt know i had such power lol!!! you want more regulation more wage control more socialism and more of what someone else has. is this really the best that you can do it is not a matter of what i want it is what is becoming needed due to the greed of people like yourself. the sad fact is that as more and more of these regulations were eliminated by the right wing congress of the past 12 years the middle class has gotten smaller and smaller and the larger percentage went down in social standing not up and the masses are getting tired of it. all youve done is say we need the very things the uks system has. now all of a sudden you say you dont good grief. spin it all you want to it still doesnt change the situation and the people have spoken even under the right wing spin of fear of terrorist attack if the left got any control. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving .

if you remove the cats it would be illegal to drive it on a public highway. if stopped you face the prospect of a very big fine. headers will hurt your performance on a street vehicle the only gain will be in the upper rpm range & it will cook everthing in the engine compartment from the extra heat. not worth the agravation if you must use a cat back system .

i still need to change my steering gear. its leaking slowly it usually takes a month and half when fluid goes to its miniminal point. i just got to add fluid from time to time. its just most defitinely pain in the bottoms when time comes to take it apart. i have take plow frame off because its in the way. with that kind of work it probably would take me 3 to 4 hours the most to replace new one. then my 1500 is done and i can sell it for couple grand more than what i bought it. i take real good care of my truck but its sad to know that there r drawbacks about 1500 compared to 2500 and 3500. this site is so wicked awesome. thanks awesome people. .

my advise and tom l. may disagree but if you want to put wider tires on the truck and are going to need the wider rims to accommodate use a rim offset that will work with the existing axle. certainly - youve really got to be careful to keep the load centered on the wheel bearings with the d44... ive seen lots of guys with out-of-spec camber due to bent axles from the extra leverage of big tires sticking way too far out. as for the rest a 3 lift kit is pretty straight-forward so not much to go wrong there. i was worried he was looking to stuff 38s or something underneath since he was originally asking about swapping in 1-ton running gear. .
