Coil Spacer Install
I'd go with Daystars as they have just been around for a while and proven themselves.
BTW have you thought about new coils? That's honestly what I'd do. I'd just try to find a 3" lift coil from Skyjacker or any of the big lift companies. To me that's a better way to go than a spacer. It will cost more but it would get you a fresh set of coils on there so if yours have sagged any at all it would fix that.

I installed the Hell bent Steel units into my ram last month. It's really easy and the instructions are easy to read. Price was $60 to the front door, so price was good too. Once installed though, the rear looked a little droopy, but nothing a small add a leaf wouldn't fix. Installation for both front and rear was about 4 hours. (danm rust, most of the time was spent removing pieces). I would invest in new nuts for the coil retainer, at least on mine they were rusty crap.
My truck looks very similar to yours so I think you'll like the difference in height.

I think you guys forget he has the offroad edition that already is 1.5" higher than standard Rams. So it's not going to look the same as a regular Ram with a 2" spacer. It would be similar to a regular Ram with a 3.5" lift.
That being said I still think it would look good just not that it will be the same as you guys Rams that don't have the offroad package.

Ok, I just did a measurement (finally). My rear end is 42.5" high. And my front end looks to be 39.5" high. I measured from the ground to the fender. So there is a 3" difference from front to rear..? Does that sound right?
In regards to the coil springs to the coil spacers; it's something I've thought about. Most of you know that I like doing stuff the right way. What color do you think I should get if I got coil springs; red or black? Does any other company offer a coil spring for my truck other than Skyjacker, such as BDS, Bilstein, or Procomps ?

Make sure when you put the coil spring back in it seats correctly at the bottom. I did not do that the first time and my Driver side was off and it offset the truck 1&1/2 inch's. The end of the spring at the bottom should seat towards the rear of truck. I
think all trucks are the same but I could be wrong so take a mental note or picture of how your springs sit in the bottom before you take em out and just place them back the same way, can avoid alot of headache.

Thank you for the tip.
I guess I'm a little confused about the measurements I gave. If it's a 3" difference from the front to rear, won't that mean a 2" spacer isn't going to make this truck level?
Also, I'm having a hard time finding a coil spring other than Skyjacker. I don't mind Skyjacker, but I don't know if I'm crazy about the white and red look. Also, isn't a 3" coil spring going to come up short in leveling this truck out. If my offroad coils are 1.5", and I plan on putting a 2" spacer, that would mean I'd need a 3.5" coil spring correct? A lot of questions, I know, but I got a little thrown off from the height differential...I thought it was going to be two inches, not three.

Sure, the fenders are actually 3" lower in the front than they are in the rear, but with a 2" spacer that will only make in 1"... and trust me, it looks all of level. If you go up any more you will be whining about the back looking too low. Like we have stated a dozen times... JACK THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK UP 2" AND LOOK AT IT.
As far as coil colors, thats a personal preference. But, skyjacker has went to black for there coils and lift parts (not sure if you can get red anymore). A 3" coil will lift your truck about 1.5". Jack your truck up that much and look at it and see if you like it.
