Got a couple different options.. You can grab a set of bilstein 5100 adjustable front shocks. I believe they have 3 different heights you can set them at all ranging from just under 2 inches to almost 2.8 inches of lift up front.. really about 2.5 inches seems to be the perfect lift amount for the front to level it.. it will have very slight rake left at 2.5 inches.

There are also several different spacer kits you can install on the strut to give you 2 or 2.5 inches of lift up front. I currently run the 2.5 inch Daystar comfort ride series spacers. Also you may want to look into the issues some with 2013 and newer rams have with the spacers putting too much stress on the UCA and ball joints. For this reason it is usually recommended to swap out the UCA's for beefier ones that can take the more extreme angle the spacers add.. I have not had any issues what so ever with this on my 2014 CC, but if you search around there are several posts on here going back and forth about that issue..

Good luck hope i covered the basics. All comes down to how much you want to spend or which one you prefer really

Bilsteins set on the lower levels you probably won't need the new UCAs. If you put a spacer in there you will need UCAs.

I went the spacer route, 2" front level and Mevotech upper control arms.

i went ahead and got my bils ordered today and for $90 i went ahead and go UCA just to be on the safe side. Did some research and the Mevotech's are a good deal...

Bought mine from moes performance for right at $200, dealt with Matt and he was a nice guy and very helpful. They are sponsors on this site and carry great products for our trucks.

Is it a 4x4 or 2WD? Cause if it isn't 4x4 then you won't be able to use the Bils. I have a 2WD. I got the Mevotech's from carid.com (around $90 shipped) and topgunz 2.5 inch front spacer (find them on ebay and call to order the 2.5 inch) for $75. Gunna post up pics tomorrow once I clean her up! Good luck! Post pics after!

Edit: Photos of the level installed
