Default New to the hemi and this site.. Needa little help

New to the forum, but this site has some great info and great people on it!. I Recently bough an 03 Dodge Ram and got the torsion key Ready Lift installed on it today!. Looks great but i noticed a total different ride feel in the front. I searched and read that i might need new/ or longer shocks? I would like to go with racho but what shock would be best which one is longer or more suitable for my needs.??? any input would be great!!!

You dont "need" new shock. Yeah it was be good to get new ones but you dont "need" them. Rancho are good shocks. And to tell you the truth if ur not gonna do it yourself i goto a local 4x4 store and see if they can give u a deal

Putting the leveling keys in a t-bar truck "stiffens" the front end a bit, not quite as much as if you simply cranked the key bolts, but it still stiffens it up, nevertheless. It couldbe that you are just feeling this stiffness in the front end and don't need shocks at all. Usually the tell-tale sign that you need new/longer shocks is a bottoming out on bumps...
