Will a 3" leveling spacer level an OFF-ROAD 1500?
Do you tow anything? Are you sure you wanna level it? Over time the nose will start goin up. I have an off road and thought about that but considering I tow every now and then and dont want my trucks nose pointing up I didnt want to do that..

A good way to deal with the nose high stance when towing with a leveled truck is a cheap set (or a good set, lol) of air bags. Leave them empty when not towing for a leveled look, then air them up when you do tow to keep it level.

With a 2in spacer added you will be 4+ over stock. To address this correctly you need to deal with the lower control arms at min. track bar, swaybar, pitman arm. If not your axle will be shifted back(not centered in wells) and to the side(one tire sticks out further)

This is true.
But, with that being said, I have seen it done many times with stock equipment with no major issues. My brother did it to his off road ram and drove it that way for over 160k miles with no issues (other than his axle was no longer centered).

Well maybe if the guy would have went with grabber green instead of hemi orange you would like it better?
