- Hey guys, Shawn again, Custom Offsets,
Custom Offsets TV on YouTube.
Another episode of lifts and levels for ya.
This one's gonna be a little bit more in-depth
and one of the ones that you guys
have absolutely been driving us nuts for.
So we're pretty pumped that this truck rolled in here.

So this is a 2013 Ram 2500.
So it's got the cummins swap.
It's got the straight axle swap.
It's got the Ram swap.
It's all swapped.
It actually started life off that way,
but it's everything you've ever wanted.
So we're gonna do a six-inch zone lift
this customer wanted us to do on this one.
So here's all of the components of that lift,
and I go through them really quick and really general.
And then as he puts them on the truck,
you guys will get to watch that.
And then once it's all done, while it's up on the lift,
we'll go through and kinda show you
where these parts ended up on the truck.
Of course, as always, there's a pile of hardware
that we're not gonna get into, so this definitely
isn't a how-to, but it'll give you a rough idea,
when you put a six-inch lift on a straight axle truck,
at least this range.
And this is 1994-, 2013, so Dodge stuck
with pretty much the, or Ram now, stuck with pretty much
the same suspension that entire time
in order to use this lift kit for all this.
So obviously, you have your coil springs,
and then you've got some of your drop brackets
for the front steering control arms.
Can you still call them control arms
even though they're not really control arms?
But this will start dropping the front components
as far as the front axles.
And then some different brackets, and bump stops,
and extensions, and Pitman arm.
And then you'll have your replacement shocks for the front
and then your replacement shocks for the rear,
your rear blocks, and your bolts,
and then obviously, some different extensions,
and brackets, and spacers and whatnot.
So we'll get this stuff installed, let you watch that
kind of in a high-speed fashion, and then we'll come back
and show you where those ended up.
And then I think Fuller and the fellas are gonna take it
for a ride and kinda talk about the difference they felt
between the stock ride height
and then the after ride with this six inches on lift.
So I think the total price on one of these
was something I didn't look at.
There it is.
It's about 1,200 bucks for the kit,
so fairly inexpensive considering lifting up a Ram 2500.
And what's the time gonna take, about 10 hours?
So you should typically figure 700 to 1,000 bucks
installed with alignment and everything.
We will get rolling.
I'm gonna go eat pop tarts.
So we just picked this 2013 Dodge Laramie Crew Cab Diesel up
from the alignment shop, and I am very impressed
with the ride, and this zone six-inch lift.
The ride is absolutely incredible.
Driving the vehicle stock to see
how it drove, and now driving it.
Absolutely, a very affordable lift that you can purchase,
and it rides great.
- Okay, as you guys saw, Tim just took this for a ride.
So we kinda used him as a guinea pig.
We had him drive the truck when it was stock
and then again after the lift kit just to hear
what his opinion was just to somebody
driving the six-inch zone kit, and he was super impressed.
His first response was, "I'd put this in one of my trucks,"
so that's cool to hear.
As you saw, he installed the new coils
with the kit, the new shocks.
It's got all the different spaces and extensions.
This is not a long arm kit, so you can see
it's using the brackets to drop down the control arms.
And in the back, you're gonna have,
of course, the blocks, new bolts and shocks.
So in a real generic, general sense,
that's what we've done, is pushed both axles
on this truck down to bring this truck up six inches.
And what that did was, with that six-inch zone,
he was able to fit a 12 wide & a 37 x 12 and a half
and do just a tiny bit of plastic trimming
and a little bit of bending, which is the ultimate goal.
So the question I've been seeing a lot is,
"So how much does that cost in total?"
This is a perfect example.
It was a stock '13 Ram 2500 that came in here
looking like all the other ones.
He only put 4,500 bucks into it with all the parts,
six-inch lift, wheels, tires, TPMS, lug nuts,
alignment, install, everything, 4,500 bucks,
and it's a totally different truck.
So make sure you check out the spotlight on this one too.
We'll get into more details, but that is your
six-inch zone lifts and levels on a Ram 2500.
Peace.
