Questions about my new truck and lift kit

Hello all!

On Saturday I purchased a 2006 Dodge RAM 3500 4X4 from a local dealer new. :D The dealer had a 4X4 shop add some aftermarket stuff to the truck and one of these items was a 5” lift kit. I wanted to ask you guys what you thought of the kit and if I should add anything else. I am just worried they went as cheap as possible and did not add everything needed. I contacted the performance shop and they sent me the below email.

-----The lift kit is made by Fab Tech, and the part numbers are: FTS23006BK, FTS7237, FTS7333, FTS43000BK. The only maintenance required is to grease the grease fittings. The work we do for the dealership is 3 years/36,000 miles.-----

When I look on Jegs website I found these part numbers with the below descriptions, but there is no detail. I think the last three are pretty easy to figure out, but I am not sure about the first one.

DODGE 4WD 2500 BOX KIT - 391-FTS23006BK
DDGE 4WD 2500 COIL - 391-FTS43000BK
PERFORMANCE SHOCK - 391-FTS7237
PERFORMANCE SHOCK - 391-FTS7333


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

According to fabtech's website:

"Large 1 3/4” diameter upper and lower control links replace stock units for proper caster and increased strength. System includes Pitman Arm, Trac bar bracket, Bump Stops, blocks and u bolts"


The kits from Fabtech are good ones and this seems to be complete.

Congrats on the new ride.

Found the complete kit with details on Fab Tech's website. http://www.fabtechmotorsports.com/applications/dodge/4wd94-05ram25003500.html

It does state it is for a 2500/3500 Dodge. Looks like the have a dual shock setup as an add on. Think there is a need for me to add the dual shocks?

One thing that does worry me is they say to use Use 315/70R17 tires w/ 17x8 wheels w/4 5/8” BS w/ minor trimming or Use 325/65R18 tires w/18x9.5 wheels w/4 5/8” BS w/minor trimming, but my truck is running 325/60R20. Think this will be an issue?
