This is what I want to do but dont know if it will work and havent gotten any feed back so hopefully this time I will. I want to put on a second leveling kit on my truck but dont know if it will work or the pros and cons?

I have a 2" tuff country kit.

You can put both of them in, and would have 4" of lift. However, you're going to have some severe CV joint, ball joint, and tie rod angles. If you want that much lift, you should probably just save up for a proper suspension kit.

i wouldnt do it.
4 inchs of stacked leveling kits is too much. you will run into problems with that setup.
im geussing you were thinking of doing add-a-leafs or blocks in back too???
your better off getting a whole suspension lift check this out 4.5 inch suspension lift.

keeping the geometry of cv joint/axle angles as close to stock as possible is best. 1 leveling kit already throws that off a little bit which is ok but 2 would just be too much. the 4.5 inch suspension lift is perfect for these trucks. would look real nice with your new mickeys too......

 

What about

with a leveling kit?

 

In theory, they should both fit since one sits inside the strut assembly and the other sits on top. However, I personally think it would be insane to try. Now I'm REALLY experienced with both torsion bar IFS and SFA front suspension designs, I have next to no experience with coil over IFS trucks, so I could be wrong. But I don't see where it could be good for the front end. Spend another couple hundred and do a 3" body lift in combo with your existing level kit. Besides, you did an extra 2" lift on the front and you'd have to spend more money on 2" blocks for the back to keep it level anyway...

 

This kit is for a 1500 Megacab 2500 or a 3500 not for our trucks dude.

 

oh i type in 2006 dodge ram 1500 slt 4x4 for options and it popped up. i wasnt sure if the fill crew can was megacab or quad cab. my bad...
in that case do a 3 inch body lift. the springs would probably do the same thing as the 2 leveling kits stacked together. to get a lift with suspesnion lift they do a combination of springs and taller spindle/control arms along with longer linkages.

 

This is the essentially the same as the 2" pucks you listed above. You will still be pushing your control arms down 4" total, and you haven't addressed the CV joints, ball joints, and tie rod angles. In the 4x4 world, a setup like this is called "booty fab". And it's not a good thing. You would really be much happier with a proper suspension kit.

Yeah I just dont have the cash at the moment for the 4in kit I would like, and Ive decided not to do the body lift I really don't like them and have always said that I would never put one on my truck. Guess i'll just have to wait until motorcycle sales are hot again.
