Leveling - power wagon springs?

DarthMegaHD · Sep 12, 2017

I plan on leveling my 2500 and already have the pucks, but I just read in automobile magazine that the power wagon springs are coincidentally 2 inches taller than stock. I wondered if anyone leveled their 2500 with power wagon springs and if there would be any issues in doing this. My plan overall was to sort of retrofit my megacab with power wagon parts to sort of make a megacab power wagon Frankenstein hybrid as close as possible. Anyone want to chime in?

Someone has - They should chime in soon- there is actually a build thread with part numbers - just got to search for it.

What I'm wondering about the power wagon parts is, are the panhard bars the same length as standard 2500 4x4 ones? or are they about 1/4" or so longer to account for the longer springs. If they are, I think I'd be interested in looking for some stock pw ones to go with my current lift. Aftermarket ones are MAJOR $$$

I did. Has been great with no issues at all. I like that I used OEM parts to achieve the desired lift as well. About to add Hutchinson's since AEV Katla's are recalled and 35" Falken Wildpeak M/T's or Toyo's at the end of this month. AMP steps were installed recently as well in this pic.

Tried searching for it, can't find it. Do you happen to have the thread on hand?

Did you use the power wagon springs and a spacer or just the spacer?

It's the factory spring and a spacer. You can see how bad the spring is tilted.

DO it the RIGHT way and do the springs. If you can get PW springs cheap, do it that way. IF not, you have options such as Thuren which will actually IMPROVE the ride quality.

No I never got the springs. I may replace the spacers with the springs later, I didn't consider the power wagon spring idea until after I ordered the spacers.
