Question 2WD Level Kit - Which one and Where ?
Hey Guys, I tried searching the forums and internet.

I'm having trouble finding out a level kit for a 2012 2WD. Everything I see is 4WD.

Any recommendations and links. I'd appreicaite it.

Just looking for a kit that would allow some 305/55/20's up front. I'm assuming at least a 1.75" or higher ?

Thanks

So it seems...

Dodge Ram 1500 2" Front Leveling Kit 2WD 2006-2011


Or

Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 2" Front Lift Kit w/ Pro Comp ES3000 Shocks 2WD 1994-2011

Do i really need to upgrade the shocks?

I would recommend the longer shocks or shock extenders.
You don't need to replace them though
There are also 2-3" leveling springs out there but are more expensive

you can fit 305/55/20's without leveling the front, but you will need wheel spacers if you have the stock chrome clads with or without a level kit.

Really?

Can you point me to the spacers I would need to get?

So no matter if i Level it or not, i will need the spacers.

And i can run the 305's without the level kit?


Sorry if i'm repeating what you said, i'm trying to confirm, any proof on the site?

I will be running the stock 20" clad wheels. Like in your sig

I've heard the 2" leveling spacers lead to a harsh ride, and wear out the ctrl arm bushings. (sucks, I wanted them as well). I've decided to hold off until I can afford the CST 4" Spindles.

I was happy with my Fat Bob's Garage 2" spacers with factory shocks.

There aren't too many options out there for our 2WDs.

I'm saving up for the CST 6inch lift instead of just a leveling kit.
The rep I spoke to recommended bilstein HD 2500 shocks for the front to compensate for the Hemi, as the kit was not intended originally for the bigger motor.
