Do any of you guys know how many inches of lift it would take to "level" out an offroad edition ram? I would like to give the nose of my truck a little pop. They make a 1", 1.5", and a 2" spacer from top gun customz. I'm still just not sure if I want it level though. I'm not crazy about how the truck will look like it's sagging so bad when I put loads on it. What are your guys' thoughts for the size?

 

your thoughts about the sagging look when loaded are bang-on. Every time i put a load on my truck, which is more often now with the new car trailer, i get ashamed. It makes the truck look like a wuss because the rear sags like 2 inches below the front.
As for the size, i would measure it out, the body line is straight on these trucks, so measure the front and subtract than number from the height of the rear and you have your spacer size.

the timbren rubber spring in the rear will stop that sag.
it installs in place of the rubber bump stop with about a 1" air gap when unloaded.
this gives you normal ride.
you load down the truck, it sags the initial inch, and then wham-o. the rubber spring makes contact with the frame and you get very little additional sag.

i love mine.

 

2" spacers will level it perfectly. But any added weight in the back and she will look like a saggy betty (have never seen at those things dhvaughan had mentioned, but sounds like they work good).

 

hmm, those spacer things are interesting, but im afraid they would be way too stiff when loaded. i dont think i would want to drive very far sittin on those things. i think im gonna airbag it

 

So what do you guys think? Do you think a 1" spacer would make a noticeable difference? I like the look of a leveled truck, but I hate how it sags almost instantly once you put a load in the bed. I just want a nice noticeable pop in the front, I don't mind it still be lower in the front overall though. I also have 285s, so I think leveling it in the front might look a little silly with a tire that isn't so big. Or do I get over it "sagging" when it's loaded? Because the truck leveled will look great when it isn't leveled. Thoughts? Do you guys think my truck leveled will look ok with the 285s?

Looks like they got a good deal going on for the 2" leveling kit:

Being you have a Offroad edition I wouldn't go with more than a 1" spacer. A 1.5" spacer max that's if it was me. Depending on how much higher your truck is than normal Ram's a 2" one might be pushing it. Most offroad rams seem to be 1.5" to 2" higher. 1.5" is usually how much higher I hear of people saying they are. So a 1.5" spacer would put you at 3" which is the max you want on a truck with the rest of the front end parts stock.

 

I think you need to get a floorjack and a block of wood. Measure coil spring height from pearch to pearch. right behind the air dam, look up from underneath. There is a metal plate that goes across. put the wood block (I used a 4x4) and jack it up till it touches. Remember your beginning height. Jack it up a few cranks and go measure. When you get to 1" (by measuring from pearch to pearch again in the same spot), take a step back and look. If it needs more... go another 1/2" till you get it where you want it. I measured mine this way and mine came out perfect imo.

 

i was just looking to that site this morning!! I want to get the 2" coil springs, dual shock mount, and the bilstein 2+ shocks!! also was looking at the dual steering stabilizer.. it'd run about 6 bills all together... But for now I think I'll just get the 2" coils and shocks

 

So should I go with the 1.5" spacer then? Will it come up a little bit short of making it "level", or do you guys think it will look pretty close to being level? I have a 0-3" adjustable track bar, so technically it should work perfectly for the amount of lift. Is it hard to put in a coil spacer?
