I have a 2000 ram sport off road edition, Im looking to do a leveling kit, Ive measured the heights and the front is 40 inches and the rear is 42 inches. But Im going to put a 5 inch one on the front, Im trying to figure out best way to do the back, Ive found 2 inch shackles, 2 inch add a leafs(I know that's 4 inches, but it would be close to level) Ive found the blocks, but if I go with blocks will the U bolts that come with them be long enough after stacked on top of the one that's on there? Also, will I need a new pitman arm and will I have to do anything with the sway bar? I seen sway bar extenders or something. Going 5 inches will there be anything else I will need to change? Im currently running 33x12.5x20's with 4.10 gears Im looking to go with 35 or 37's

 

5" on the front will require pitman arm, drop bracket for the track bar, longer control arms, longer shocks, doing something different for the sway bar, etc.

You would be better off buying a full 5" kit. (front and rear, comes with everything.)

 

If you go with 35's or 37's, you're gonna need a gear change as well, 4.10's aren't gonna cut it.
Gets expensive.

 

So am I reading this right, you plan on going 5" over on top of the ord lift? For a total of 7" of lift. You're going to need all the parts that Heyyou posted and more. With that tire size you might wanna start looking for a set of Dana 60's the Dana 44 and the 35 -37 tires will eat through front end parts to no end. Ask me how I know this.

 

^^ what they've both said. and dont stack blocks, it creates all sorts of safety issues that you do not want to be dealing with. order a whole lift kit thatll come with everything you need. if youre looking to just level it stick with a 2 inch if you want it be level, or a 2.5 if you want to the front to sit a tad higher and give it that "lean". with just a leveling kit you dont need to change all the other parts.

 

what if I go with a 2 inch front and 3 inch body, shouldn't need to change anything should I? I knew if I went bigger tires I needed to regear

 

if you dont mind the body lift than thats a great option, i personally dont like the frame showing but to each their own.

 

what would be the best option for raising the rear the 1 inch? Or should I just use the 2 inch shackles, that would be almost level,

 

Shackles might be easiest. Either that, or an add-a-leaf.

 

what would be the biggest leveling kit I could use without having to change control arms? I have found the adjustable sway bar links for 0-6" lift, sway bar drop brackets, pitman arm for 3.5 -8" lift, is the track bar being referred too the sway bar?
