Default 06-08 2wd leveling kit....help

Where are you guys finding the 2 and 2.5in leveling kits for the 2wd 1500s? It seems the biggest I can find for the 08 is a 1 inch. Ive spent the last few hours looking, and even all the stuff on ebay is for 4wds only. If you guys can let me know where you got yalls I would appriciate it greatly! Id rather you guys make me look like a no computer using dumb**** then continue pulling my hair out. thx

whats the point then? Mine just over 3 inches from back to front, 1.5 is just shy of getting me half way there. i DO NOT want to drop the rear to level it. The whole point of this for me is to raise it, and if 1.5 is the best im going to get, i might as well just do a bodylift? mines mainly a highway princess, the only time i really get off road is at the beach or the ranch, and neither are REAL offroady. so are 2 and 2.5s not avaliable anymore?

Are they not coil over shocks? If so doesn't bilstien offer the same level for two wheel as well as 4x4. Check out moe's performance , bud, see if they got what your looking for. 4x4 is bilstien 5100's not sure the number of the 2 wd. But check them out. moesperformance.com

The bilstein leveling struts are only for 4wd as far as I know...which is pretty lame.

yea rocket theres no such thing for a 2wd. Fatbobsgarage.com is where I got mine. They had that it would fit a 2.5 and I ordered it, then sent in my problem with pictures and measurements. They sent me a 2in to fix it and took that it would fit off their site. I sold the 2in and still have the 2.5 in

the body lift will raise it 3 inches but it will still have a ridiculous rake. It wont look good. There is no point to doing spacers honestly other that if you MAYBE go 2inches. It still wont be level though. Just MORE level.

If you are wanting to level it, go to airbagit.com and order the spindles. You will need new brake lines but if you have a local shop get them made for 1/4 the price of ordered braided steel ones. If you install them, its a cheap way to lift at only $300

I think im probably just gonna go with the 2in from fatbobs and just change the shocks all around(cause the ones that come stock suck donkey ballz) I realize its still gonna have some rake but having 3/4 or 1in vs 1.5 or 2in is better. Found out my wife is preg so Im gonna have to really work it just to spend the hundred vs anything more. wish me luck. Then again, it is easier to get forgiveness then it is permission
