of a 2015 ram 4wd ? I think the truck would look better with the front end up even like the rear instead of the front looking like its squatting down.
if I were to lift up the front only, would that affect the handling ?
what would I need to do that?

You can add bilstein 5100 shocks adjustable shocks to your front end. They have 4 height settings and for you to get your truck to be leveled you would want them se at either 2.1 or 2.8

And the shocks will give you a smoother ride

Don't even **** around with the bolt on trash. Do the Bilsteins, change the control arms, be safe and comfortable by doing it right, not half-assed.

the further I looked in here I see the question has been asked many times.
maybe the biggest thread should be posted permantley so newbies like me can see it right away instead of starting the same topic over and over.

Can anyone tell me what I have here. I bought a 2014 in February and found out after that there was some lift on it. Based upon the overall height. I assume it is a level kit.

I had to have a nail taken out of a tire yesterday and this is what the front suspension looks like. I believe I have the ProComp adjustable shocks that they discontinued due to UCA issues but it also looks like they have been replaced with the Zone UCA that seems to be considered the best based upon what I have seen in pictures.

Tons of people run leveling kits without issue.

I was guilty of saying the same thing before my leveling kit ruined my UCA's and Upper strut mounts right at 60 000km

Leveling kits are garbage and cause premature wear and tear.

How big was your level?

I ran a 2" level for years before I lifted my old truck. Not a single problem.

A lot of guys run a 3" level, 35" tires and rims with the wrong offset, and can't figure out the problem.
