I'm considering leveling my truck out, however, I'm not sure if I want to drop the rear or lift the front. I was wondering which one would look better. I'm not planning on putting bigger wheels/tires on, and I kinda like the way the front looks. I'm just not exactly sure what I want to do. Does anyone on here have pictures of their truck with the real lowered to match? If I chose that route, would it be difficult to do?
This decision really depends on what your ultimate "look" is. Are you going for more of a sport truck appearance or more off-road looking? Personally, I love the lifted front to level it out, I did this on my 2012 RAM and loved it.
Believe it or not, I actually like the sporty look. I never thought I'd want that with a truck before, but these 4th gen Rams look so damn sporty! I found a rear 2" leveling kit for like $150, just has shortened coils.
I should be receiving my Bilstein adjustable shocks early next week. Even extended at the full 2.8" the ride is superior. Plus they won't allow for over travel and cause premsture wear on CV joints which many have found out the hard way with leveling spacers exceeding 2" or more.
Since you plan on staying with your current size tire. The best and cheapest way would be lowering the rear. I did that with my truck for about 6 months. Now I have the opposite and went with a small lift. You will need to buy lowering shocks, the stock ones will be mostly compressed with the lowered springs. And will have a "wiggle" effect when driving at highway speeds.
