What is the best way to lower my back end of my truck to be level with the front? Do i have to cut the springs or is it just a few cranks with a wrench?

 

you can raise the front to level it or lower the back, either way. I think it was quoted on this site as "kicking God in the face" to lower a Ram on, so maybe you should raise the front!

To lower the back, get a set of drop shackles...cheap and easy. Cutting or removing springs is never a good idea, especially if you do any towing or use your bed

If you have a 4x4, you can crank the front up to raise it, and with 2wd put in $85 spring spacers...both an easy fix also!

 

sand bags.

or get a rear end lowering kit, I wouldn't ever cut the springs unless you were damn percise in doing so.

 

how do you crank up the front? i have a 4x4.

 

who makes these drop shackles and how can i get them for the back end and how would i install them? Also how can i put sure that it is level do I just have to eyeball it and hope for the best?

 

only on 02-05s

 

my internet is lagging but use the search on this site and over 43 thousand threads will come up on that...you have torsion bars which pull the wheels in/out...that is more midline or more distal to the differential

65 bucks and its an easy bolt on install, you could do it strait out of grade school

 

There's quite a few companies that make them. They just replace your factory shackles. You unbolt your leaf spring and stock shackle, remove stock shackle from leaf spring, bolt new shackle on to leaf spring, then re bolt onto the truck. Should take under an hour. There's nothing to eyeball since they're not adjustable. They will lower it about 2".
