What leveling kit do I need?

Orion · Aug 8, 2016

Today I just got my lowered suspension taken off my 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie.

Was wanting to know what kind of leveling kit I need to get.

2wd or 4wd? If 4wd, check out the Guide to Leveling linked in my signature.

It is a 2WD, I'm trying to findout what brand I should get and stuff like that, isn't like 2 inch in he front and 1 or 1/2 in the back?

If you want it level you'll probably just want to level the front out. I'd recommend taking a look and CST or Maxtrac leveling coils and then get some longer shocks to go with.

Thanks for the recommendation, so if I'm wanting to level it I only need front ones?

Yup, the back can stay at stock height.

What should I get for the front? 2" or?

2.5 will make it perfectly level. I'm debating on throwing a spacer on there rears though so when I tow I won't be too nose high. I already have 1.5" spacers in the garage so may throw them in and check out the stance

Hmm, been doing some reading and apparently 2" is what most people have done.

2" or 2.5" is most common. Just depends on what kind of rake you want the truck to have or if you want it dead level. The best option is to measure all 4 fender heights of your truck and do the math to figure out what will work best for you.
