Leveling Questions

[jf5.9]

I'm completely new to all things lifting/leveling. My truck wont ever see a huge mud hole or some trail in the remote part of the woods. Im just looking to level it, give it the look of an old farm truck, never been a real fan of that a$$ end sitting higher then the nose.

So since I have no idea what i should do ( so far there are alot of mixed thoughts on spacers, using V10 springs out of a 2500, adding an adjustable track bar for over 2.5" or 2.0" or at 3.0". I'd really like to get some advice from someone who has leveled a truck or seen a leveled truck that someone isnt going to stuff huge boggers under and wheel.

Ive attached a pic of what my Ram looks like now suspension wise.

Thanks for making it this far and for the help

You could go leveling spacers or taller springs to level the front, an adjustable track bar will be unnecessary. Hell bent steel makes a set of leveling spacers for about $80. Springs you can get 2" lift springs, 2500 springs or 1500 ORE springs to level the front. For your application spacers would probably be just fine. 2" should be all you need.

I'm personally looking at a 2.5 in front and rear spring lift. It's like $300 but is really nice. You can find it on Summit, not gonna link it per forum rules regarding site sponsors though. lol

thanks Johnn123, that's what I wanted to hear on the Track Bar as I just put a new one in in May. Hellbent looks like a good enough company to go with, I have reservations against suspension parts on ebay. Looking to do bilstein 5000 shocks as well and with an alignment hopefully I'm good to go.

Dodge Dude feel free to PM me - there is a summit 45 minutes away from me and sometimes I like my parts sooner than the brown truck can move them.

Alright, gimme a minute then the PM is on its way.

And lucky! I'd love to have a Summit even an hour away.

Between having a Summit close for the Ram and *****'s Overland close for my Ford GPW I'm a lucky man indeed. Now if I just had enough money to do everything I wanted to the truck and GPW done in say a year lol

2inch hell bent steel leveling kit for $70 is all you need. it will get your truck sitting perfectly level

See this great thread.

5" lift to fit 35's if you plan to 4wd it. I have had 3"/5"/7" lift kits and am getting close to being ready to go 10-12" lift so I do know.

2500's can fit a 35 tire with just a 2" level kit.

I love being 10 mins away from summit racing, especially since I'll be lifting my truck this summer its nice to have. Now for your question, I would just do Hell Bent spacers, seems like the best route.
