Leveling

[0RAM2]

I am wanting to raise my front end but don’t know if I should get the spacer or get new springs and shocks. Looking for advice on the pros and cons.

Low on funds = leveling kit.
Nuttin' but money or credit = Top shelf shocks, springs, etc.

I have a leveling kit on my 2020 Tradesman Hemi. Works great for me, mostly slow going on fire roads and low speed curvy paved roads in the Ozarks.
Lots of opinions out there for sure...
If I had the money I'd go with the top shelf ideas..

I would go with leveling kit, If your asking for opinions. My bilstein kit improves my ride greatly. I understand the simplicity of spacers, but my tradesman drove like an old wood wagon.

Always depends on budget

I was curious about the spacer option, I don't use this rig for everyday travel. can the stock shocks be kept?

So I went ahead and installed the 2.5” spacers and it went up only 2” and then I installed coil over shocks in back which kinda defeated the front spacers by an inch

What are the pros on putting coil overs on the rear? I’m in the same boat as OP. I’m wanting to level my 03 4.7 2wd but I like to go ahead and get things out of the way that could go bad later down the road. Aka just upgrade it.
I’ll definitely be going the new spring and shock route. Just trying to find a combination though. I do quite a bit of hauling and pulling. Mainly my boat, and some HEAVY metals to the scrap yard. I’m talking levels out my truck heavy. I also occasionally go off road on some field with quite a good bit if dips and bumps.
Would coil overs on the front be a possibility?
