Get an add-a-leaf, that will bring the truck level. They come from the factory with a nice rake, so that when you drop a bunch o' stuff into the bed, you aren't pointing your headlights at the moon.
i bet you also confused the original poster since you did not say in any of your posts that the cruise control setup in your truck was aftermarket. you said it was from a 2006 ram. if that is the case you should just be recommending the aftermarket cruise setup. i personally have not had any issues what so ever with the cruise on my vehicles even without the vacuum reservoir on a steep hill. it really does not take that much vacuum to operate the cruise control servo. i know i learned a lot about cruise and how it works when i was installing it in my 1 vehicle.
Mine is stock I have the stock buttons in the steering wheel and I replaced the factory cruise control servo, for one that fits a 2006 Ram. I should have said that it was made by a aftermarket company

When I first got it. The 3" block in the back was there with a 2" helper spring. The front had stock springs with a 2.5" in spacer. So I tool out the stock spring and spacer and put a 3" lifted coil spring and took the helper spring out and now the *** end sags 3/4" lower.
I'll take pics off the setup tomorrow and send em to u so u know what the deal is. I just want to have the 3" lift and body leveled out
this is what I found online. Apparently i still do have stock rear suspension and need to get the 3" rear lift kit. The top block with the bump stop arm is all I have under there. So I'm assuming with that and the 3" springs in the front everything should level out then.....

That is a route people go. Some say stacking blocks in that picture is bad as it CAN cause the u bolts to break. Nobody that I know had that happen, but the "proper" way is to add leafs. That what I am going to do plus it won't say when weight is put into the rear/towing. Only downside to add a leafs is more rough riding. But that why you bought not just a truck but the best truck off them all a Ram
Anybody know which Vaccum line goes to the a.c. system for the doors? And if it has no leak could the intake plenum gasket being busted be a lack of pressure to work the doors?
Blown plenum will reduce available vacuum...... The line comes out of the dash on the passenger side, by the a/c lines. There are a bunch of vacuum lines on that side..... just need to check them and see if anything is disconnected or broke.
I used a Vaccum tester on the the line that runs thru the firewall with the compressor lines and it had a check valve on it. It held pressure just fine but I'm still having the issue. That' Why I'm wondering if that intake gasket leak could be the cause of the lack of Vaccum in the system. Thinkijng about running a temp Vaccum line from the a.c. side and blocking off the others and put the Vaccum tester on it. And see if the doors stay in place while I'm accelerating. See if that narrows the problem down
