confused need help

[txedtn]

I just got my 2010 ram laramie 1500 2wd. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to give my truck the lifted/leveled look without spending the $1500 for a full suspension lift. Ive heard that getting ram 2500 front shocks would give a couple inches up front and then also along with those the 3" front 1" rear leveling kit? and then also maybe a couple inch body lift. If I was to do that then other than the given alignment what else would I need to do? Ive built import cars my whole life and now working on a truck that I will use to tow my show car around. I won't be using the truck for anything other than street driving either. Just not familiar with trucks.

shocks from a 2500 wont do anything for lift... they don't hold the load of the truck, the springs do. I would just do a 1.5" or 2" front coil spacer to level it out. daystar and a few other companies make leveling kits.

maxtracs 4.5" suspension lift all the way!

wayyyyy cheaper than any other lifts. plus it doesn't effect your front factory suspension

or you could do a 2.5" front coil spacer to level the truck and a 3" body lift

The 2500 socks are a couple inches longer, sometimes used to compensate for additional travel when using coil spacers.

I agree

HellBent Steel makes a nice spacer also that isn't very expensive either

Leave it raked. It will level out when you tow your show car.
