Hi, I just picked my son up a 1998 2500 24 V Cummins, It has a level it appears ( and was told ) but it sits high about 1' over the rear. I am not looking to really keep raising the truck just want it leveled.



Add A Leaf? If so which do you recommend and any how to links?

1' Block added if so any links?

Do I replace the stock Block? if so what do I replace it with?

Air Bags?

Truck will pull different trailers from time to time and carry quads/Snowmobiles around.



Thank you and yes I have searched a ton.

Don't use taller blocks. The stock ones are already too tall as far as I am concerned.

Add-a-leaf would be ok, and probably the cheapest solution. That, and since you are going to be towing/hauling with it....... really not a bad plan.

Another alternative would be lowering the front again..... the rear IS gonna squat when you put a load on it, bigger the load, the more it's gonna squat..... That's why when they are new, the rear is 3-4 inches higher than the front....

I really don't want to go over and inch or so it is only off a little, I am unsure what they used to raise front, I am guessing there are spacers above the spring? The springs are silver and look fairly new as well.

Take a peek, see what ya see. If they actually put taller springs in there, that does make it a bit more expensive to drop it back down...
