hey guys my leveling kit came in today from top gun customz. my question is; of those who have put the coil spacers in their trucks how many have changed the control arms? if you haven,t do you have any problems ? if you did what ones did you get? adjustable or not? what manufacturer did you go with and how much. also what else did you change? and what shocks and size did you get ?

i plan on lifting the truckmore down the line with suspension lift and i dont want to buy control arms and other parts now to have to change them in a couple months for the new lift. please let me know of your experiences. thanx off road

 

you shouldnt have to change your control arms for that a leveling kit is not enough lift to have to change them

 

What does the kit consit of? I was thinking about getting a kit for my truck too....

Pic's would be sweet also!!

Thanks!

 

I agree, theres no need to change the control arms or shocks with just a 2" leveling kit.

 

Are you sure? His truck is an off-road edition, so it is already lifted 2" A 2" spacer will give him 4" of total lift.

 

unless they come factory with longer control arms then a 4x4.. anymore then 3 inches with just a 4x4 needs longer control arms.. so yeah silver has a point.. that'll be 4 inches. i dont have a offroad so i have no idea if they come with longer control arms stock to keep the axle centered right

 

the kit is just to spacers . . .

20dodgeram and silver what do you think about adjustables or not, im goin to wait to do it right n get the arms thanx boyz

 

I don't believe you'll need control arms, you should have your front end checked for alingement. It will make a tad bit of difference, depending on your tires andwheel offset (stock wheels are ok) whether you get some rub or not.
The reason to add longer control armsis because as you raise your front axle, the control arms swing the axle back in an arc, putting your tires closer to the rear of the front fender.
As far as I know, off road rams came with the same length control arms as a standard ram.

 

I have an offroad and I added a 2" leveling kit and didn't have to do anything. Truck drives and handles fine. Been that way for about a year now.

 

I'll defer to those who have an off-road edition and have done this.
