Leveling 04 Ram

[Tinybaum]

So there is a kit for that? I was going to adjust the torsion bars some, but wasnt sure as to how high I could go. I see where others change shocks when doing that, is that needed? I just put new shocks on recently and done really want to replace, but I want the truck level.

So basically:

What are the advantages to the kit vs torsion bars?

What issues maybe be caused by either?

And do I have to change shocks?

Here is a write up I did awhile back. I ran keys in my 04 when it was leveled, 05 has it just cranked. You can get away with 2" on the keys cranked and shocks are up to you. My 04 with keys needed shocks because it would max out on a bump, the 05 is fine with the stockers.

Thank you...Going to give it a read over right now.

I would probably just crank it. I dont want to change out the shocks as I just put them on.

Soak the treads and go a few cranks each time. Make sure you measure before and after, also "bounce" the front for the bars to settle.
