GROWING THE DODGE 1500 4WD A FULL SIX INCHES

Skyjacker Helps Dodge 4WD Owners Increase Their Ride Height

Dodge owners are a tough crowd, just like the trucks they drive. They want options, particularly when it comes to improving their trucks for the things they like to do. Half-ton RAM owners seem to have been forgotten by some manufacturers when it comes to manufacturing a healthy lift kit. Skyjacker is here to change that with their new Skyjacker 6'' 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD lift kit designed for half-ton 1500 series RAM pickups.

The system includes dropped center cross members to lower the control arms, front drive axle assembly and torsion bars along with new spindles (steering arms) which together increases the ride height and suspension travel while providing the owner with the option to install larger tires which enhances the increase in ground clearance that off roaders demand. The kit also includes new rear leaf springs along with Skyjacker shocks, longer links and all the necessary hardware. You'll even find a trick skid plate included to protect your front suspension when taking that Dodge out into areas you couldn't before.

Of course this isn't something that most of you will try in your driveway, though it wouldn't be impossible to achieve. Skyjacker recommends the services of a good installation facility familiar with how to properly install a full suspension lift kit such as this six-inch system. In the following steps we will show briefly some of the major steps that the Skyjacker staff and Mike at Rhino Linings of Delaware, performed on this 2003 Dodge RAM so you can get a good idea of exactly what the kit consists of and the type of modifications that made to give the Dodge a much taller stance, not to mention making it look really cool!
