anyway, searching for a leveling kit/shocks for my truck.. i cant seem to find a 3 inch level, only a 2.. will 2 inches level it out or will it still sag? and i heard daystar makes a kit with shocks/level/ 1 inch body lift... anyone help me out here?

found this
3" 02-05 Dodge Ram 1500 2WD Coil Spring Lift Kit @Top Gun Customz

who thinks i should do it

That looks like a good kit. I like it cause they send you new larger coils instead of just using spacers.

do yourself a favor and upgrade to nitro shocks .. you will be happier

kajunboy89 · Dec 26, 2010

ramhunter, where did you get your pushbar on the front? i feel like my dodge would be happier with one of those too.
i was kinda iffy using spacers, and someone sent me a 2 inch level kit with 4 shocks and a urethane coil spacer for 289.99.. this seems like an all around better deal

Get some spindles man, check out airbagit.com for new spindles

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

actuallly thought about that, its just out of my price range. not the spinles itself, but the shocks and everything else i would need.

the cool thing about spindles is that you dont have to replace anything else. just the spindles. all stock geometry stays exactly the same.

CaliDodgeRam · Dec 27, 2010

Ya man you might need new brake lines, or you can trying switching the left to right and right to left, supposedly that works, I play on buying my spindles after the first of the year!

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

that doesnt make sense to me, how does all stock geomotry remain the same???

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

that doesnt make sense to me..

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

anddd i dont understand what the wheel backspacing means

adamwilkes14 · Dec 27, 2010

the stock suspension geometry stays the same because it is simply moving the SPINDLE itself into a different position...how the spindle connects to the chassis remains the exact same. You will need an alignment after it is done. And I would suggest going ahead and replacing ball joints while you were there and wheel bearings too...

Wheel backspacing it the distance from the rear face of the mounting of the wheel to the bead of the wheel...

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

i dont think the ball joints and wheel bearings need to be changed right now, i only have 29,000 miles on it...
so i wouldnt need longer shocks or anything like i would need with the rough country kit i was looking at?

adamwilkes14 · Dec 27, 2010

Right...

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

wooo.. yey for putting a lift kit on my company truck!!!!!
so, the vital question.. which will put more strain and fukk **** up quicker?

adamwilkes14 · Dec 27, 2010

when properly installed nothing will fukk anything up

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

sweet.
i will have more time to think about it while i watch the saints beat the crap out of roddy white and atlanta..

CaliDodgeRam · Dec 27, 2010

I have ATL winning by 3 in a pool, sorry man. Also go with the spindles everyone i know who has had both love spindles way mover

kajunboy89 · Dec 27, 2010

looks like were about to be up by more...
anyway, i cant seem to find the spindles for even clsoe to the same price as the rough country lift...
