looking for some input from you guys out there. got an 04 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab with the 4.7L V8. i want to level it but not sure which type of kit i should use. if you wanna give your opinion id appreciate it. thanks.

 

Just crank your torsion bars, put +2 inch shocks on, and get an alignment.

 

Get you a leveling kit from Hell bent steel, cheap and durable.

 

Crank it, don't cost nuthin' but for the alignment...

 

With yours having torsion bars I would just crank 'em. Why spend the money on a leveling kit if you don't have to. I wasn't so fortunate mine doesn't have torsion bars but still not a real expensive venture with having to buy a kit.
Cranking torsion bars=$0.00
Alignment=$50.00
Leveled Ride=priceless

 

I would suggest getting new shocks, some guys say they run theres with stock shocks, I ran my old truck with torsion bars cranked on stock shocks for about 2 years, then the bumps started getting wicked! I was bouncing all over the place haha, so if you got the money, spend it! its what we all do! SPEND MONEY! Lol.

 

i'm gonna jack this thread if you don't mind...i'm glad 04rammer asked which method yall prefer but now i want to know, will cranking torsion bars wear out the axle any more than buying 2' leveling keys? if not, it sounds like cranking would be a cost effective way. also heard that when doing this method, everything wears out quicker and the ride isn't as smooth..any input?

torsion keys are only $99 for 2"...and the hell bent is $80 for 2.5" coil spacers

to me, coil spacers seem like a great way and i feel that the keys over time will decrease in height. what say you?

i'm looking into finally leveling mine..
