So over the weekend I installed a motofab 2.5" leveling kit. Install wasn't too bad but the problem I'm now having is that the front end is bouncy. It doesn't matter if the road is rough either it could be a smooth road but the front end still bounces. I've made sure everything is torqued down good and tight also. Am I going to have to replace my shocks? Kinda at a loss and any help would be great.

Is that just a spacer?
Nvm just googled it. So you essentially just compressed the spring so now it is more “Springy” I would honestly throw those in the trash and get a set of new coils. Either rough country or MaxTrax both make 2wd front Springs for Rams.

What year is your truck? Mind posting year/Model/Trim?

It's a 2014 blackout express crew cab. I actually just ordered the maxtrac setup because everything I read was saying I needed new shocks.

I hope so because this bounce is rediculous, almost undrivable.

You need new shocks


New coils and **** shocks are still gonna bounce just like the current coils and **** shocks do. But, by the time he solves the problem he'll have new coils and new shocks, lol.

My stock 14 4wd has a vary small bounce. Most don't notice it.

I will be upgrading to rancho quicklifts. Hopefully better shocks will fix it

So I got the maxtrac level and installed it but now my UCA's are hitting my strut towers when I got over bumps.
