2500 needs to be level

[stephencs601]

My 2500 front is lower than the rear, what is the best solution to raise the front. I do plow a little, not a lot. Hate that lower front My truck is a laramie 2500 with plow and towing options.

Personally, leveling blocks will never be put in my truck. They alter the geometry of the front end, however slighty. If you plow that may not be ideal because it will cause even more wear on the front end. Just my .02. Not everyone wants to spend a good chunk of change just to level the truck..although changing coils and shocks will improve your ride.

Put a 2" coil spring cup on it. That'll level it out

I want to do the best thing for the truck. So are new springs and shocks the best answer. If so, where do i get these items.

2" or under you should be fine. new springs are not necessary unless your looking for a better ride. you could even re-use the stock shocks if you wanted and get shock extenders, but i would get new shocks if it were me. stock shocks suck.

Can't a person get some lift by just putting on Bilstein 5100s?
I don't know - just asking. Or do you have to use something else with them?

your thinking about a 1500. 2500 suspension is totally different. bilstein 5100's for a 2500 are not height adjustable and offer no lift by themselves. you can however get bilstein 5100s in the proper height for a level should you get a spacer or longer spring.

No we're SFA.

I'd get bilstein all around regardless, our stock shocks suck. I'm not sure the spring rates offered for longer fronts but if they're softer that's something to consider especially with a plow.

I have the rcx 2.5 blocks and bilstein

Thanks. Haven't even looked under one of these trucks - mine should be here in a few weeks.

What brand/model shocks did you get? I saw some Fox shocks that looked interesting.
