Default Leveling Kit

Hey guys I'm trying to decided which leveling kit to go w/ on my 98 Ram. I've measured the distance from the ground to the top of the fender in the front and rear. The front measures 39in and the rear measures 42 1/2in. Is that the correct way to determine which one I need? I'm ordering them from Hell Bent and they offer the 2in and the 2.5in. $20 difference between the two.

I put the poly 1 1/2" spacers on my 2WD. It wasn't hard to do, I did it when I was changing ball joints. It does ride stiffer though....but looks much better!

Well worth it!

it depends how much weight, if any, you put in the box of the truck. you could use the 2.5" spacer to put the truck totally level, but that means any weight is going to make the truck squat.

If you do a search on here, IIRC ,jasonw has a good way of figuring out what size you want.
