Like the title says. I am looking to level my ram 2500 but as far as I can tell I have like the red headed step child of the Rams with it being an 03, 2500 but the gas engine.

I am trying to PROPERLY level my truck on the cheap. I already am springing for new ball joints, 08.5 steering upgrade, u joints and tires.

I understand the simple way is just get a 2" spacer. Will change things with the sway-bar and the shocks being out of their limit?

I was hoping level it with new coils like these from Rough Country <--real link But was told its Diesel model only. Do the difference in weight.

But then I see these spacers with sway bar drop brackets <-- real link



Any help would be appreciated.
Please Dont suggest like Carli or Kore or those 1000$ places. I have a hard budget of less then 1500$ for everything on my working part time college budget.

I think they say diesel only cause the springs are a bit stiffer than the ones on gas HD trucks (not positive). Your 03 is the first of the 3rd gen 2500's so it's the one with all the bugs. The spacer kit would work well, the sway bar drop is a plus (not needed), but good to have.

Thanks for the links, But those are way out of budget. I will look into the track bar. Most likely mine would need to be replaced. But If I get the track bar. Something else has to be left out.


What are the advantages of dropping the sway bar link?
