I just installed a 3" spacers on the from to level my 2011 ram. Turned out great, perfectly level with 39 1/2" from ground to wheel well front and rear! Looking at tires now. Prob stick with 33's so I don't destroy my gas mileage. Just go with a more aggressive 33. Let me know what u think!!

Nice how's the ride? I've heard of ride quality issues with a 3" level.

Looks great! Keep in mind, aggressive tire tread = less MPG also. I look at it this way though. I didn't buy a truck for MPG or I'd have bought a Prius, not really, lol. Just saying there are lots of vehicles that get better MPG than a truck.

The ride feels no different than factory. Now I'm getting between 17-18 mpg. I don't want to go below 15 because of tires so if I can get a set that are more aggressive be there I'm good with it.

I agree I didn't buy a truck for MPG, but honestly our trucks aren't horrible on gas compared to others 4x4's

Pretty much any 33 inch tire will let you stay above 15. I stayed above that with 35's but I do drive easy.

any vibes in 2wd or 4wd? Trouble with alignment? Been waiting to see somebody post up a 3" spacer kit. Also what brand did you go with?

After it was installed the camber was horrible!! Took it to Cruisin gold and they had me out of there in under an hour. Feels factory in 2 and 4 wheel drive. I went with a motofab kit it was cheap compared to most out there and the quality was great! Here is the site http://www.motofablifts.com/Default.asp

Thank you! It is pretty but keeping it clean is a bear! Didn't realize it would be such a trouble color.

I want to get the 3" kit. Some people say you shouldn't go above 2.5". I was wondering how many people have a 3" leveling kit and your thoughts on it.

So far I like it and have no issues. You WILL NEED an alignment after without a doubt. I have plenty of room under the front end now for tires and when I go off road I don't have the fear of hitting the bumper.

I have the three inch level on my 4x2 slt and I have had no real problems. The ride is a little stiffer but not enough to bother me. I'm probably going to buy some new shocks soon before I run 35s. But I bought mine from eBay. Also need an alignment for sure. But now it is great
