Wheel Spacers/ Leveling kit
I'm looking to put the leveling kit on my '94 Dodge here in a few months.
Number one question is where is a reliable place to pick up the leveling kit? I know it's all pretty simple to install but I'm looking for some quality product to put on it. Not really interested in a huge lift, just looking to make it level with the back end. But, if a lift kit is a better option I'm all ears to suggestions.
Secondly, I'm looking for some spacers to move the tires out a little. Not a whole lot but I'd like to make 'er look a little more mean coming down the road. Hope that makes sense. I don't really have the first clue in where to go and what to look for concerning spacers and moving the wheels out some.
All advice and opinions are welcome!
Thanks

I've seen a few people on here that use the hellbent steel spacers and have no complaints: $80+shipping http://www.hellbentsteel.com/product...eling-kit.html
I'm not too sure about wheel spacers. It's safer to just get wider tires and rims with less backspacing. But that's more costly I guess...

What's a good place to look for a decent set of rims and tires. And what are the number sizes on the backspacing and tires? Rims as well. I don't know a whole lot about backspacing and the like.

Stock wheels are probably 16X7.5, with 4.5 inch backspacing. You kinda sorta wanna retain the geometry, so your hubs are fairly centered in the wheel...... If that makes any sense...... So, if you go two inches wider, go with an inch more backspacing.
I'm about to level mine as well, only I desided to raise mine using new 2500 gasser coils up front. Same price as the spacers.
The guys that have given me advise on it seem to happy going this route. I won't be doing mine for about a week so I can't give my personal experiance yet, but thought I would throw out another option.
No clue on the wheel options

@Hylander7- I'll look into the spring system.
With the leveling kit am I going to have to compress my springs at all? Or can I just drop that whole "girdle" (Tie rods, control arms, etc.) slide in and mount the spacers above the coil springs, put it all back together and get an alignment?
Or is it more involved than that?

4x4 by your profile.... so, unbolt the shock, removing it would prolly make the job easiest, unbolt the sway bar link, just one end, doesn't matter which, jack up the axle a bit, take the tire off, then set it down on something, as low as you possibly can..... then jack the truck up by the frame until you have enough room to slip your spacer on top of the spring. then just put it all back together.
