It looks like all your tie-rods were swapped out as well, but I can't guarantee that since I'm not a 2500 owner. You do have an AAL in the rear. Stock Dodge springs are the 3 springs (4 if you count the overload).

Its better to give us numbers with the lift (bumper to ground) front and rear.. more than likely since its a skyjaker up front thats a AAL was added in the rear the stock block in the rear is 3"

Some of the guys over on PS have said that a 5" block gave them axle wrap. If you get a zero rate to go with it, you can correct that, but that is still a lot of block, and you might have to stack them to do it that way (not a good idea in most people opinions). I think an AAL is the best way to go personally.

They make 5 " lift blocks for Rams, they're fairly new. I suppose they're safe if they're on the market, but I think they look ghey...

im trying to level the truck so i would be leaving the AALs in, that should take care of the axle wrap right. on the 2500s the packs are more rigid anyway
