in ,my veiw

you 1.5-2in spring spacer,, but the down fall is that you may not like the ride and maybe wanting long shocks to try to regain travel

so spacer 40-60 dollar,, then shock if your not happy with the ride 60 dollar,, plus 50bucks to get it alliment

so then your at 170,,,,or 170 dollar you can put to a set of used wheels that i see on craigslist all the time

if you already spent 300 dollar on spindles i would buy a set of wheels,,because thats what you will be the most happy with the ride and looks( i would kill me to have lift spindles laying around and not using them)

1.5" spacer doesn't affect the ride much at all. 2.5" is probably rough as hell. 2" would give you a nice level look and a decent ride. Either way your compressing the spring so the spring doesn't allow much travel, causing the rough ride.

Spindles will keep the factory ride, but will widen the front stance of your truck a few inches. I would try them. Doetsch Tech makes a spindle that fits stock wheels. Wouldn't hurt to test it. If it works, it works. If not, spend the money on new wheels that will.

Or go all the way with Fabtech or Doetsch. Complete suspension kits.

i was looking at one time and i saw that bilstein had some leveling shocks for the front of the dodges maybe something you can look into without losing the ride
