I want to add a 5" lift to my 1998 dodge ram 2500 360 quad cab. I seen a skyjacker kit someplace that will add 5" to the front and 5" to the rear. My main question is do I need to level out the front end 2" first so it will sit level with the kit on? Also where can I get the cheapest leveling kit and how hard is it to install? I want to run 35X 12.50 tires on it after the lift is installed. Thanks guys.

 

You might do a search. There's at least several threads on leveling and lift kits already ongoing.

 

Miami, I remember you saying you got a good deal on your leveling kit. Where did you get it from?

 

Hell Bent via eBay. $65 delivered. Very well built and they have kits up to 3". The 2" kit was perfect for my truck.

 

You wont need a leveling kit. If you get a 5" Skyjacker kit, it will lift the truck 5" in the front and only 3-4" in the back to level it out. The cheaper ones will come with a block/add-a-leaf, while the more expensive ones will come with new leafs.

35's and 5" is a good combo, but plan on re-gearing.
