Default Shock question

I am going to install the leveling kit in the front of my 2500 and wanted to know what shocks some of you with this done to your truck are using on the front.

A lot of people here run Rancho 5000 (or 9000) shocks.

BTW, you should remove that powerdyne throttle body spacer. It's not helping your fuel injected motor. In fact, it's probably hurting your performance

If you put a leveling kit do you need new shocks in the front? I am running Bilsteins but I don't think those are availible for the 3\4 ton

I think that new shocks are only required if you level an off-road package equipped vehicle.

And yes, Bilsteins are available for 2500 & 3500 Rams.

Would not recomend the Rancho 5000's. They are very tight. I have them and forget setting your drink down. Have to take a drink of coffee between bumps in the road.
