I have a 2wd 2013 ram and learned the hard way what happens to the 13-14 rams when you put a leveling kit on it. So my upper control arms ball joints popped and cracked my
Upper control arm offroading. My current setup is maxxtrac 4.5" spindles, 2.5" daystar coil spacer, icon uniball upper arms, limit
Straps up front, and 3" maxxtrac rear coil springs. Now I want to have the best ride quality while offroading. So should I remove the coil spacer and get new stock length shocks(14" I believe)? Or should I leave the coil
Spacer and get new extended shocks(approximately 17" ) I'm not jumping my truck, I am romping it sometimes tho, when I go shooting or go to big bear I hit the trails. I just want to know what will be more beneficial in your guys opinion. I want to run a high end shock, king, fox, bilstein. I currently have pro comp 3000 up Front

I bought the icons right after seeing your post lol. Got them for 620 on amazon with free 2 day shipping. I didn't go with the zone because it says 4wd and nothing about 2wd so I wasn't sure.

I just pm'd you back. I ended up canceling my order and going with a spindle lift from maxtrac. It was about the same price.
