a level is a leveling kit....different on different trucks, you might have a bar to crank or put a thick spacer on top of the spring...it is to level the stock rake look, so you dont look like you are in a 3 point stance

This is pretty much my truck, sits as high as mine does....

Explain what leveling kit would do to it?




BTW, here is what I want mine to look like. Maybe even a bit higher







or




here is a perfect example of the same color and everything, but just 4x4












NOW I WILL PUT 2 - one below another, so people could tell the difference, maybe I will make myself more clear this way.

fords and chevys sit really low compared to even a 2wd ram. if you notice on the 4x4 pic above the front sits lower the front. a leveling kit is a spacer that sits on top of the strut assembly or on top of the spring. it will basiclaly level the fron to the rear ( 2.5 inch kit sits just about perfect) to raise your rear just throw a .5-1 inch block in the rear. i would do both level and block and then throw some meatier tires instead of the garbage wrangler hp's and call it a day. youll have a truck that sits nice.

Hey evo8 How about a front spindle lift?? Not sure who it was but about a year ago one of our fellow Dodge Bloggers did it and the level kit too I believe. Looked really cool. Not sure who makes them but do a google for lift spindles I'm sure you'll find them

I believe you can do coil spacers in the front and back - may be 2.5" in the front and 1" in the back. You may need new shocks in the front...
