Damn, my truck hasnt quite made it to St Louis yet, so I cant measure the difference in height between front and back. I want to order a leveling kit so I have it when the truck gets here, but not sure if I should do 2" or 2.5"

Any suggestions? Should I just wait, or go with one of them?

I would guess 2" would do it, but that's going by my front to back measurements. Results may vary.

I ordered the 2" kit from HBS today. They said it will ship today, and be here Wednesday this coming week! They were great to deal with and answered all of my questions. They wouldnt give me a military discount (gotta try everywhere), but they threw in a free decal of my choice. They said their prices are already low, which I agree...$65 shipped...not too shabby with a lifetime warranty!

Thanks guys!

Will do! She's also got an appointment for 20% tint all around and another appointment for 2 1/2 dual exhaust with a super 44 and 18" X 4" tips. Probably get a rubber bed mat and window guards also. Where can I pick up the spray tint for headlights and tail lights?

Well, the HBS 2" leveling kit went on pretty easily. I didnt have any batteries for the cam, so I will take some after pics tomorrow...sorry guys. I panted my spacers orange to see how it would look, and its not too bad. I probably could have gone with the 2.5" kit, but Im only 1" lower in front vs back now.

Also have dual exhaust and tint now. Will take pics tomorrow after I help with brother in-laws 2500 spring install on his 1500.

The HBS products aren't made for 2wd trucks. Does anyone know why? I'd like to get a lift on my '96 ram, but they all say they're for 4wd trucks.
