I recently aquired a pair of front coil springs form a 00' ram 2500 4x4 (#037 coils) to install on my 99'ram 1500 4x4 to gain a few more inches of lift. Any one know if this will present any problems before I get started this weekend. Thanks for any info.
Chances are it won't lift it any but will make it ride a little stiffer. Are you sure they are both #37's? Usually the left side is rated 200 lbs heavier than the right side.

If I remember, both the stock spring from my '99 were the same. I know on
1500's, the driver's side was rated higher, but the HD trucks used the same left-to-right.I think it will give him some lift, since the stiffer spring won't compress as much. However, if I remember, this guy already has 2" coil spacers, and is looking to add more lift with the springs. That's going to negatively (no pun intended) impact his caster angle, probably beyond what the adjusters can deal with. Most 3" lift kits come with longer lower link arms to offset this.
I agree, I tried just using 3" cups on mine, front end tech said "no go" so upper and lower arms got upgraded.
It is going to be less expensive to buy 3" skyjacker lift coils then the
2500 ram coils. I also will get new lower link arms later on. Will the new lower arms be all I need to set the pinion and caster angles back to factory setting?
