Well, it's about time for some new shocks and coils on the ol dodge. Figure while I'm under there might as well knock another thing off the list and get her sittin level and maybe a little bit higher. Right now it's about 3 inches lower in the front on one side, 2 1/2 on the other. Seems way too low to me, does anyone know the offset they came from the factory? I'm thinking 1.5 or so from what I have read. Anyway, I found this while looking around, and any input you guys have would be appreciated.

I'm wondering how that kit plus a set of new stock-spec springs would hold up. TIA.

If you are going to replace the springs anyway, Why not get some re-arched springs, or, springs that themselves give you the 1.5 inch lift you want in back, rather than installing blocks. (and are there already blocks in the back? I am not a fan of stacking blocks.)

this is a 100dollars cheaper but you dont get the 1.5in block for the rear so your paying 100bucks for 1.5in block..........

Sorry guess I should have worded it a bit better, I'll do an edit. Looking to replace the coils in the front, the leaves will be later down the road. At most, the blocks would be a temp fix until the new leaves. And no blocks in the rear as of now.

I've looked at the spacers you've got and that was initially the route I was gonna go, but then I stumbled across the kit. The pro comp kit looks good, but it only comes with the two shocks and the RC kit has all four. So I imagine once I bought the other two I'd break even. Any input on PC vs RC?

Thanks alot guys.

Yeah, I don't mind running a block for awhile. New leaves can wait. So since you put the 1.5 spacers in I'm guessing the stock offset is 1.5? Trying to see just how bad my springs are sagging..
