im looking to get a leveling kit sometime this week... what is the best one out there? or what are some other good ones that i could look into...

 

Iput these exact same keys on my old '02. Worked great, but even though it says new shocks are optional, you'll eventually need them. Mine ripped apart on me which forced me to get new ones.

I've been doing some research and I can't say which is the best but I'm definitely going to get a kit that includes shock relocation brackets - that way my shocks wont rip apart like dirtydodge's did.

BTW, if you add a add-a-leaf along with a leveling kit your truckwill notbe level.

 

now how do those keys work? like what do they do? and why would i need new shocks? im new at this whole thing haha sorry so many questions...

 

The keys are a direct replacement for the old keys. The hex in key is at a different angle so even at the lowest setting (which is what mine were at) it leveled out the front. In reality, you could probably just crank the adjustment bolts all the way down and get pretty close to level without buying these keys, but then you have no room for adjustment. Here's an obviously altered exageration of what I mean as far as the holes being different:


As far as the shock relocation kit, all you have to do is buy a longer shock. Mine ripped apart because the front end sitting higher was already close to maxing out the shock travel and one good bump pulled it apart. New, longer shocks fixed the problem.

 

Good post Dirty.

Striker, there are a couple good videos on YouTube. Check em out.

 

If you are only looking to level the truck, and you are the lucky owner of a 02-05 4x4, then all you have to do is crank your existing key bolts a few turns and you are level. It'll stiffen the ride up a little, but it's free, takes about a half hour, a jack and a socket set in the driveway. If the ride is a little too stiff for you, crank 'em back down, then spend the money on a leveling key kit.
Do a search on this or any other Dodge forum, or even Google it, for a step by step, how to...

 

I'm wondering if my dealer with do a leveling with the stock keys? I'm taking it in for the steering making a humming when i turn... sounds like a metal rub. but i wonder if they will do the leveling for me. any ideas?

 

I would be in a state of shock if your dealer would touch the torsion bolts OR install a level kit!!!
