Leveling Kit Help

buysellrentpro · Aug 8, 2017

Hi,

I am a new Ram owner and also new to this forum. I have used forums for my previous vehicles and I feel they are the best way to do research on what your are looking for. Anyways, I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 2wd and am trying to find a reliable leveling kit for it. I have found one on FourWheelParts website but the kit is almost $300 which sounds high to me. I have bought leveling kits in the past and none have been over the $200 mark. Does anyone have any recommendations for my truck as far as a leveling kit goes? I appreciate any suggestions!

The 1500 has issues with lifting the front and the ball joints and it is recommended to upgrade to your upper control arms to prevent the ball joints from popping out.

In regards to a leveling kit, if you're going to do it right and upgrade the control arms id recommend spending the money and just buying adjustable shocks instead of the leveling spacers. The spacers will put strain on all your suspension components and in the long run isn't necessarily good for the truck. I had a leveling kit and ended up removing it and installing the adjustable Bilstein 6112's in the front.

For the rear, spacers are fine I have 1" and fox 2.0 shocks.

Thanks, I must have read right over it in the OP's message.
