Default Looking to order Level Kit.

Which Kit does everyone suggest?

2.5 rough country kit with shocks and rear blocks?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2-5-S...ts_Accessories

2.5 ready lift

2.5 pro-comp

Or just some no no name $70 kit?

Thinking about ordering today and suggestions would be great thanks ahead of time.

Matt99 You mean as shocks correct. Or is the bilstien 5100 also a level kit?

I can find a lot about the 5100 shocks designed for lift applications but nothing about actually lifts or level kits?

I have the bilstein leveling struts. They are adjustable from stock ride height, to 2" of lift. Well worth every penny over the factory dodge struts. Way better ride.

However, i do have a set of 2.5" spacers that i was using layin around that you can have for $50 if you want. quick and easy.

Ok have been doing research I am going to go with the Bilstien 5100 shocks. Still have not found anything about Bilstein manufacturing levels. I have a feeling someone sold you the shocks and added a random spacers to it as a complete kit. But as far as the 2.5 spacers go. Which kit is better full metal or urethane spacers?

I like urethane coil spacers myself, the metal ones can be clunky. Bilstein struts are top of the line though as is the Rancho Quick Lift. I installed a set of the Ranchos for a buddy with coil over front 4x4 and they were sweet...

Brendan, the shock itself is the lift, you put your stock coil on the new shock. It's the most sensible way to level your 06-08 ram and quite popular
