somebody mentioned to me that i could put a leveling kit on my truck to bring up the front end. my brother said that if you use a cheapo that just puts a wedge in the springs you could have problems at high speeds because the shocks and springs will already be maxed out and not able to compensate for say a bump.

what is the true deal here. i would like to have it level, i just don't love the stance it has now, and i think it would look really tough level. i definately don't want to drop the rear down to achieve this so IS there a leveling kit and where can i find one and is it dangerous? help.


btw, it is an '07 ram 1500 quad cab 2wd, 4.7 v-8

 

As far as I know, the only option you have with the 1500, is to get taller springs, because the 1500 4x4 has IFS, and most kits use new torsion keys to raise the front end. I know thats what I have to do on my 04 atleast.

 

'02-'04 4x4s have torsion bars and can be leveled with a simple crank or two on the torsion bolts. New keys built specifically to level the truck may also be used.
'06+ trucks utilize a coil over front suspension for a smoother ride on the highway. To level these, coil spacersare used. This is a relatively cheap, widely available method, some require new, taller shocks, some don't. Some require a specialized tool to compress the coil spring, some don't. Utilizing a name brand component with a quality reputation may stiffen the ride up front, but will in no way cause problems at high speed...

 

I've had my truck maxed out and no prob's and it's leveled

 

i just got my o6 1500 leveled and it looks great and also the stiffer front seems to handle road bumps better and doesnt feel like it jerks the truck like it use to when you hit a bump

 

If you dont mind me asking,what kit did you install? Did you do the work yourself? The Truck looks better than great. Good Job.

its 2wd... i think you have to get a spindle kit...

 

guess i will do some more digging around to find what i want to do with it.



geez how do i post a pic in my sig?

 

I just ordered some front spacers for the 2wd.... there is also a DIY that has been done on this very subject.... Take a look at the DIY section. You will find a very helpful post there!
