Ok, i have a 2/4 drop right now, I'm looking to buy the readylift 2.25" front and 1.5 rear level if i went that route i would need to buy stock suspension parts, the level kit and tires, if i went the 2" suspension lift route i would have to buy the suspension lift and tires but i would have upgraded suspension parts which is a plus. what are yalls input?

I dont know if I follow ?

You have a 2/4 drop now and want to lift it 2.5/1.5 ? Will that work ?
Well ya sounds like it will get you back to stock height . I would imagine you will need longer shocks .

Shoot me a PM on with the kit number and the price ya found .. I might be able to get it cheaper for you .

There is a member here that is currently selling the stock suspension from his RT but his truck was 2wd so idk if that will help you

Rather then going with the ready lift kit you could maybe talk to dave and get a set of bilstiens (would need stock coil springs) or Rancho quicklift adjustable shocks which I believe comes with new coil springs (dave would know better then me)

Top gunz sells 2" lift springs for the rear of the truck for $200 I believe and they also have several different size spacers you can use in the rear if you can get ahold of stock rear springs for cheap

Yes these are another option ....
http://www.ramforum.com/f113/loaded-quick-lift-leveling-shocks-21345/

Since you do not have the OEM front springs these are all you will need to lift the front 2.5"
If you went with a Bilstein adjustable front you would be in for more money as you will need to find a OEM front spring as the Bilstein is just the shock .

IMO ... I would go with the shock I linked you with and get a set of rear OEM springs
This set up will level the truck just right .

Let me know what route ya want to go and I will work up a awesome quote .

CST does sell a 7" kit and a 4" kit
He would still need stock suspension for either and they're alot more money
