Not sure yet... I need to locate some parts first but just wanted to see if there was any interested.

as long as I'm not working on the weekend, I'm usually free.

If you need parts, my brother has his own diesel shop in the KC area.

I think the first project will be the suspension. I gotta get 'er lowered, maybe back to stock height or a 2" lift at the most. Never having installed one on a Dodge I'm real sure what all will need to be replaced.... hopefully none of the brackets were welded on....

I'm up for something. I live off of 151st and 54, so I am almost Goddard. I also work for Cargill, so I can get some good deals on meat as long as I have a couple weeks notice.

I've installed a lift on a Dodge before...

you said you have a 6" skyjacker?? let me do some research on what parts are replaced... I imagine the front trailing arms, front coils and probably the rear spring pack are all skyjacker parts...

a 2" leveling spacer looks good on these trucks... it takes away the rake.

I did some looking around and I'm sure your lift has new front coils and new front trailing arms so you'd need to find stock replacements for those... the rears could just have an add-a-leaf and a block so you'd just need to find a stock block and take the leaf out...

I might have a lead on the stock parts but I'm not sure yet...

Further info... I just heard back that I can probably get nearly new parts from a 2007 that should fit your truck... I know it's the front coils, the front control arms, the pitman arm, the front shocks, the rear u-bolts...
