Looking to lift my 2014 ram 2wd 1500. People are saying just buy blocks or something to lift n level my truck for under $100 but I seen kits for $1000 and wondering why so big of a difference. What would be the right kit for a 4" level lift ???

Under $100??? I highly doubt it. Plus, don't go cheap... I'm all about saving money but I'm also all about doing a project right or don't do it at all. You can get a 3" Body lift, 1" rear spring spacers and put Blstein 5100's up front. That's how I wold do it.

Dude....trying searching before asking a question that's been answered plenty of times.

I assume your trying to build a mall cruiser when try to jack up a 2wd truck that high....maybe for curb clearance

I seen this lift kit by Maxtrac on EBay... Is this all I need to do a proper lift that's level ? I see it says 4.5 front and 1.5 back, I'm assuming since my stock truck is already lifted more in the back already this will level it ?

Will that kit level my truck as well ? If so that's perfect. Also I seen kits with Springs... Is that something I need with this kit ?

Depends.

What you need to do is measure the distance from the ground to the middle of the wheel well, both front and back.
Subtract the front measurement from the rear measurement. That will be the amount of "rake" you have and that will determine the amount of lift you need up front to level the truck.

On most trucks, the front is 2"-3" lower than the rear.

Measure on your truck and report back, then we will decide what you need in order for it to be level.
