RWD Level Kit

[south7west]

So my 2014 Ram 1500 is a RWD truck, and I've been wanting to level it out for a while. Anyone know the best way to level it to get rid of that slant look? I know there are the block spacers, but I've heard negative comments about how it affects ride quality. Some other forum members use the Bilstein 5100 series shocks, and I believe that my truck could also use the same shock. (Part Number 24-274999 w/ a 1.75 in raise height) Wanted y'alls opinion, so thanks in advance. Let me know if someone else has already posted a similar thread!

You can do a spring level or a spacer level in the front for the RWD. None of the 4x4 5100 series lift struts will work for your application.

I do recommend aftermarket UCA's.

Rough country makes level spring's for 2wd......and I ran spring spacers for years on my 2009 ......

Oh & no the Belstein won't work for 2wd

Maxtrac Suspension for a 2wd.

Maxtrac 2wd leveling kit with springs is the way to go. I helped a buddy put one of their kits on his truck and it leveled it out perfectly plus the extended length shocks to go along with it.

Awesome! I remember I had a guy come into my shop with that brand kit, and I was impressed. Thanks for the replies, did y'all go with the MaxTrac brand shocks and how does it ride? Or should I save more money up for the Fox Shocks and Springs lol

I was just about to purchase the Fox Shocks. Not sure what springs they provide. I am going to look into those now!

They look to be stronger springs based off the picture alone, but it's hard to justify the extra $300!

He got the maxtrac shocks worked well. If you do plan on doing any off roading i would do the fox other wise im sure the maxtrac shocks will work for a while anyways.

My 2015 has their stock shocks, then my 2019 below had them for awhile, then later just upgraded to the Fox. Me, it was worth the upgrade.

Looks good! Summit Racing carries the kit so I'm going to have to think a while on if I am willing to spend the extra money for Fox Shocks. Did you end up swapping the rear shocks for Fox too?

Yes, sorry, just swapped the rears only. I still have their OEM ones that came with the kit.
The front is just the spindle and brake relocation kit.

I am going to be purchasing the fox shocks for both Front/Rear. It is saying that they will provide a lift from the shock alone? Will I still need to upgrade other parts or will the shocks provide me the lift in themselves?
