Default Opinion and Help

So first we will go with the help portion. My 4x4 will not engage, I have pulled the check valve off of my vacumm line and it is getting no vacuum so i was wondering if anyone had any input and a vacuum diagram that would help me out.

Next is also half opinion and half help. I am wanting to add-a-leaf to my rear end and than leveling kit out the front end. What would I all need to get todo that? and what do you guys think of the idea? Its my 97' ram 1500 black sport

here you go on the CAD.
understand there is vac on one of the lines in 2wd and the other in 4wd.
you mentioned "check valve". i assume you mean you checked the vac lines at the CAD on the front axle, and/or at the transfer case vac switch. the check valve in the the vac lines at the manifold have nothing to do with this (unless its installed backwards, and then its a problem).

after you fix the cad a couple of time and get tired of it, consider a posilok.

lots of people install the front end leveling kit. be careful not to overlift the front and/or underlift the back or you'll get that squatty look.

add a leaf's don't add very much lift. check with those that have them to see if they have a before and after measurement.

You can get the 2.5" spacers cheaper than 3".
