I want to level my 05 ram 1500, what's the best way?
I have a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd, the front has that saggy look and I want to level it with the rear.
What is the easiest way to level it?
How many inches do I need to make it level?
Any links to more info or videos of how to do it would be appreciated.

2" seems to be the right measurement for the 02-05 2wds. I've leveled 2 trucks (my 02 and uncles 04) by using coil spacers, for probably the same amount of work a longer spring or 2" spindle would achieve the same and is probably a better way.
Ive never tried to level a truck by dropping the rear, just a matter of preference. In my mind a truck should go up if anything. Before I installed the spacers on my uncles 04 regular cab he did want to bring the rear down. He brought it to a shop who tried installing shackles on the leaf springs and ended up bringing the rear higher. I think they may have installed them backwards and was just incompetent altogether. Better luck on yours though, 2" is likely the difference you want to make up. To be sure take a tape measure and measure from the top of the tire to the lip of the fender both front to back and on both sides to get your number.

I just ordered the 2.5" level and 1.5" rear spacer kit for my 07 1500 QC 4x4 and know someone who got the same thing and is very happy with it. This may be what you are looking for. According to this kit 2" is correct.
