Default Are this a good level/shocks kit?

I have a 2007 2wd ram. I want to fix the rake and fit 33'' tires. How does this kit look to you guys? I would buy the Pro Comp ES9000 shocks also. Appreciate the help guys!

Hmmm, I am very confused. Can anyone confirm if these will work on my 2007 ram?

I have an 07 also and have been looking into a level for about a year now, but can't seem to get straight answers, one local shop said spacers wont work and I need a custom lift, one said they would be fine, some guys on the forum say the spacers work great, and some say the damn things are nothing but problems, you really can't get a straight answer unless you do it yourself, or shell out the dough to have a shop start taking your front end apart. If you find a solution let me know i would be very appreciative.

Sure man, I have been researching and I'm pretty sure the kit that I posted the link to will be fine. These work on struts and coils from what hammer said.

I guess Ill answer yalls questions

I have the Daystar (from fatbobsgarage) 2.5" spacers. Rmtrrdarafdsdrdsrr whatever is wrong, there are struts on a 4x4 but the 2wd still has the coils. You have the spacer option to get a little lift or you can buy spindles for about $300.

I bought the 2.5" spacers and worked for awhile with fatbobsgarage and their mechanics/techs with pictures/measurements only to find that the 2.5" are just too tall. They sent me a pair of 2" spacers but I never installed them. The pressed steel UCAs of the 06-08 trucks are just too tall, and will hit no matter what. Period.

If you look at this picture, you can see that the UCA is going to hit the spring bucket. It hits regularly for me. New shocks or w/e wont fix the problem. You could grind off 1/4" of the UCA and it would work, I wish I would have at the time. Also, the brake lines are too short on our models for this. A mounting problem. Supposedly you can switch the R and L ones and it will work. I dunno, someone told me they did it and it worked.


Your best bet is to go to airbagit.com and buy a 3" set of spindles. It drops the wheel, lifting the truck. New brake lines are needed w this also. No ride difference. Obviously you will need an alignment with either
