I would like to know what all I need to do to level the front suspension of my 2018 Ram 1500. My truck is RWD with the 3.6L. I have been searching for awhile and can't find a clear cut answer. I understand there is a difference between lifting a 4WD and RWD truck. What are the correct parts I need to begin the process of leveling the front end about 2-2.5 inches? Do I need to buy shocks, struts, springs, control arms, spacers? I'm very new to working on my truck, and would like some help getting in the right direction. Please and thank you.

The sticky thread in the 4th generation lifted sub forum still applies.

Just get 5th Gen parts instead of 4th gen.

Rough Country leveling struts and upgrade your upper control arms, I recommend mevotech. The angle ads extra stress on the upper ball joint and can eventually pull out of the arm, mecotech uses a lock ring to secure them in.

If you want a better feeling ride, I'd choose Bilstein over RC as well. The small price difference isn't worth sacrificing ride quality to me.

@Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with the 2wd kits there is only 1 company doing them right. Reach out to Nick the internet is way too confusing for those trucks. The 5th gens they fixed the confusion
