Leveling kit questions

[syco killer]

Well when putting my leveling kit on yesterday I discovered I need longer shocks.. and when getting the suspension to drop enough to pull the springs out and stuff I had to disconnect my sway bar from my frame. My question is do I need a sway bar drop kit for my leveling kit? Or will it be fine without a sway bar drop kit?

 

[nitto]

what size level are you putting on? you should need new shocks, atleast i didnt

 

[syco killer]

2" and I may not NEED the shocks but having them at full travel will make them go out fast. So im just going to buy a couple rough country shocks. but idk about dropping the sway bar, that's my main question

 

[nitto]

you should be fine, you dont need a sway bar drop kit, I didnt use one nor did my friend on his cummins.

 

[syco killer]

Thank you sir!

Depends...are the tops of your swaybar links leaning back to the spring or are your links parallel to it when the truck is on the tires?

If they're not parallel, you'll need ether a drop kit or longer links.

Its leaning back a little bit. As far as drop kits all i found was for 3" lifts. If i bought that would it be fine?

Is your spacer a 2 inch or 2.5 inch ?

 

[syco killer]

2" spacers

 

[Okiespaniel]

Hmmmm. I'd probably save up for adjustable links. You'll notice some increased body roll as the links deflect backwards but the links will repair that.

About how much do thoes run?

 

[Okiespaniel]

They're all over the place pricewise. I'd search Dodge Ram end links and go from there.

Here's a reasonable set. You don't have to have a cummins truck to use 'em

Thank you sir!

I havnt put it on yet. But is there anything I should do to the rear of the truck? And of it was to over level my truck what would be my options to lift the rear? Just add a leaf or all new leafs?

 

[Okiespaniel]

Haven't you got a rear lift n your truck now with an AAL>?

 

[syco killer]

No. My rear suspension is stock.

 

[syco killer]

This is her right now. And its parked on a slight hill.

 

[Okiespaniel]

In your case, a 2" AAL is fine. I would reccomend the long version rather than a short one because they're less likely to cause your spring pack to backbend over time. The ride is slightly better.

 

[syco killer]

How long is the process for AAL. Domt i have to wait for them to decompress and stuff. Like a 3 day process?

 

[syco killer]

Screw it, im done playing lol ima sell my leveling kit and just buy a full 3"susp lift.
