Hi guys, I have an '06 Dodge Ram 3.7 standard cab. Love the truck, gettting about 17 in the city and about 23 on the highway. The only thing I don't like is the way it slants downhill with the lower front end. What is the best way to level my truck up in the front? And preferably the cheapest. Thanks in advance for any help.

years ago chrysler recomended that race cars ( 62-68 ) maxi wedges , hemis ect. be set at the rocker panel tobe one to two inchs lower at the front. this is for two things , one it lets the front lift transfering wieght to the rear tires. in 1968 i talked to a owner of ahemi cuda, he said if he cranks the front up it looses traction on the line, of he droped it to factory specs it hooks good. two if the front is higher it will trap air under the car, killing miles per gal. on a mopar race car it should lift all four corners, the front more. heres how it works, if it is lifting in the rear it ispushing the rear tires into the pavment, giving more traction.

 

daystar leveling kit-$40

 

i have the same problem and it kinda bothers me.....will it affect anything else besides the appearence?

 

the daystar levelin kits are just coil spacers. gettin anythin bigger than a 1 inch maybe 1 1/2 inch, will just give u problems with ur ball joints. it puts them at such radical angles that they will wear like crazy. The safest way to go is get a 3 inch front spindle kit from rough country. Its a 3inch rise for sure (the spacers may only give u one or 2 inches of lift unless u go with the big ones) and u wont have any problems. it levels the truck out nicely

heres it before:


and after


install is easy as well

 

If you have a 4x4 you can crank the torsion bars, and the best part is its free

 

hey with the rough country 3 in spindles did u purchase just the spindles or the spindle kit for like 200 bux more??
thanx

 

the only one i could find was the whole kit which was 500 bucks. came with all the shocks which was niceand blocks for the back which i didnt put on. all u need are the spindles and some locktite, and an alignment. it throws ur toe in wayyy off

 

cool thanx for letting me know it looks like i am going to purchase just the spindles, qucik question though what kind of shop might install this i have no idea, thanx for all the help.

 

yo perfectly tuned what kind of rims are those they look sick in black on ur truck
