Which leveling kit to go with?

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

Alright guys as much as I want to lift my truck, its just not gonna happen anytime soon so I want to atleast level it. Is there any leveling kits you suggest or is a leveling kit a leveling kit? I've looked up a few and some are for 2 inches and other are 2 1/2 inches. Uhhh it cant be both so I need some assistance!

I like the Truxx kits they look solid.

I have a 2.5" Ready Lift on mine. No issues with it, but some have experienced vibrations in 4x4 with this kit. That may be just with 3rd gen rams tho, I am not for sure.

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

Now see I don't know if the 3rd gens sit different than the 2nd gens but like you have a 2.5 and theres alot of companies that offer a 2 inch leveling kit, I dunno which will set me level!?!?!?!

If you want level 2.5 I would go 2 inch that would give you .5 of rear rake .

If you load your bed or tow you want some rake

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

I really don't tow, EVER! And if i do haul anything its not a heavy load. So sounds like a 2.5 would be a good choice for my application. Thanks

ive heard good things on the HBS. i ended up going with the 1 1/2 level. a little rake but not a lot. it looks a lot better then the huge rake from stock.

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

I was also looking at the steering stabilizers, are they really worth it? I've read some reviews where they said they were great and some said complete crap

ramhunter9 · Sep 7, 2011

My last 2 trucks now this one .... always add a steering box brace ... especially if you run big tires . WELL worth the money for the solid axle trucks .

I just sent over a message after my order to HBS ..... might get them on RF as a vendor ..hold tight Brandon ... might get a HBS discount for RF members .

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

Right on, that would be awesome and money saved is great lol. and again thanks for all your help Dave.

ramhunter9 · Sep 7, 2011

No problem bud ... I will keep you posted . But really HBS is one of the best in levels period

And if you can hold tight ... might get the lift cheaper threw RF

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

It'll be a month or 2 before I order it so waiting isn't a problem, want to do it around the time I get new tires and I got a lil more cash to save up

I went with the daystar 2.5" on mine earlier this year since I could get it through work for just under $100. I like the fact that it bolts to the bottom of the shock towers instead of just sitting on top of the springs.
If you go with the 2.5", you'll have a slight rake. But you could do what Tony did and add a set of the load adjusting shocks to the rear and it'll take care of that

Dave, let us know about HBS becoming a vendor for us. I'll be ordering the brace and some of their sway end links in the near future

Luke , Looks like your nose is a bump higher ?

iSlacker816 · Sep 7, 2011

Is it just me or does your front end sit higher, is that the rake u guys were talkin about?

wermbang · Sep 7, 2011

I think it was the new shocks I put on, Bilstein 5100s, and the settled a bit now cause it does not look like that anymore
