Default Are Our Trucks Level From Front To Back?

Are the 2nd Gen. Ram 4x4 trucks level from the factory? If not, how much do you think it should cost to get the front end level with the back, assuming I'm raising the front to match the back. I'm talking price for a place to install a leveling kit. Any help would be appreciated!

our rams are about 2" taller in the front...and the leveling kit is very easy to install yourself at home....but if you want someone else to do it you can pretty much go to any local shop and get it done for probably around 250 to 300 dollars...might be more depending on how much they charge for labor....but it's not going to cost much...

Backwards ... Rams have a forward rake (they're lower in the front). It's supposed to be better for gas mileage. Leveling lits are cheap and extremely easy to install.

Does leveling our trucks make them look a little better? I know that on the newer F-150's they look MUCH better with a leveling kit.

Matter of personal taste ... I think they look a lot better ... more business like.

I'm just the opposite TMS, I think they look better will a slight rake. Maybe I'm old school but I've always prefered a vehicle to have a very slight rake in the back end.
