so, levelling kit it is.. i ordered mine from procomp.. unless someone has a better idea where i could cancel my order :)
if i could find stock 20s with 33s like princess V1... if not, giong with 18's, cuz 20s are expensive!!!!!

lol so your girlfriend pretty much said you can only drive a lifted off roady truck haha

and you might be able to get the kit cheaper from fatbobsgarage.com

18s have alot cheaper tires and more options for tires, but dont look as good as 20s...that said, i would buy 18s

haha, yeah, pretty much gave me my options of leaving it as it is, or lifting it.... but then she did make me a sammich after.. it was good too!!!

if i could find stock 20s like bidbadram i would put those.. or like princess v1... but im going to start looking for 18s with either 31s or 33s that look good.... looking at some procomps right now

Well remember that the stock tires on the stock 20s are 33s. Highway tires and not very good tires, but they are 33in tall. That style 20 is found on the 06-08 rams.

Just chill out on buying them right away and a deal will come up on craigslist or something. You have to look often, I got a call on mine and sold them within an hour of posting

Hey, shes letting me buy something so i'm taking full advantage of it lol
but yeah, i'd rather wait to find the stock 20s... actually there is a very, very, very dumb man up my street who bought a "program" dodge with 24" asanti rims.. they rubbed so he bought it back to the dealership and traded them for stock 20s.. and now he wants 17s because he said the stock 20s rub...

i do know her parents ordered me a wipercowl for christmas though.......

You have torsion bars, you really have no reason to order new keys unless you absolutely just want them. Just get underneath jack it up and crank on the bars til you get it where you want.

Ehh, get some longer shocks and you'll be fine. I didn't and its a little rougher but nothing terrible, but I'm used to my dad's old 2500 which was a rougher ride anyway.

i dont know anything about the T-bars because my ride is 2wd but i can tell you that the shocks are super easy! you undo the nut on top and it drops out the bottom! the hardest part of installing my new ones was forcing the cross bar for the bottom through the bushing! lol

heres a few shots of my leveled 2wd.

she has settled a little bit since these pics were taken. i wish now that i had gone with the 2.5 inch level instead of the 2 inch. as it sits right now it is about an inch off from truly level.
