Default Level lift ram 1500 2wd

I want to level my 98 2wd 1500 truck out but I want to lift it enough to fit 32's under it. I was wondering What to put in the front if I go with the 2 in raise in back maybe 3inch so any input would be great

A 2 in level should be more than enough to fit 32s. A bunch of these trucks came with 265's stock, which measure out, on average, to be 31.6. So you could almost get away with leaving it stock in terms of lift.

As for the rear, maybe you could get a stock Ram 4x4 lift block. But that would put you even more *** high, so you might not want to do that.

if you put the 4x4 blocks in back(3" blocks) and then 3" level in front u would still be unlevel. so you really gotta put a 5" spacer in fronot prob. but then that would prob make the brake lines to short. i would just level the front and see if you like it and if they clear all the way around, then decide if you wanna lift the back or not. you could always do a add-a-leaf on back, and put 2500 coils in front.

4x4 blocks fit in a 2wd leaf spring? don't think so, think what you want, ask before you do the lift, so you don't waste time and money we always want a little bit more

i have 3 inch fabtech coils in front, and 31/10.5/15 tires with enough space left for some 33's, in the rear i just used the lowering hangers (inverted) and shackles (shortened) that gave me a little bigger lift than a stock 2wd and saved me some money because my truck was lowered when i bought it
