Default 07-1500 4x4 leveling

So ive been searching around the forums for the past hour on leveling kits. And it seems like alot of people have vibration problems with 07 4x4's after installing a level kit?

Has anyone definitively figured out a way around this other than not leveling the truck out lol ? Or is this just some people having bad luck... Im trying to level it out and i think i know what i need to do , but i wanted to check with you all first.

Is this what im looking at getting? and do i need anything else ?

Thats pretty much what I have, I have teh 2" top gun customz kit and no vibration. Just make sure you align it afterword, it changes the toe. It's easy, I needed to grind the top of the strut mount studs off though because they hit the leveling kit.

Thumbs down 06 vibrates with top guns 2.5" leveling kit

I got a vibration in mine in 4 wheel drive only, after installing a leveling kit. I had it aligned after install. Look up 4x4 vibration thread. I still can't believe this is a issue. It is a 4 wheel drive truck and you can't lift it without vibration's. What a joke!

I had the tgc 2.5" level kit and had bad vibes! The guy at TGC said that they offer a 2" kit that supposedly fixes the issue. I didnt like the stress it put on the driveshafts (the angle) It just didn't seem right. It rode fine other than the vibes, and it looke awesome, but I couldn't stand the vibes anymore. Mine was actually more steering wheel shaking in 2wd and vibes when in 4x4

Post Looks same as top guns kit

That looks close to my top guns 2.5" lift. Which causes vibration in 4 wheel drive on my 06 1500 Ram. No problems in 2 wheel drive but some others say they get vibration in 2 wheel drive. Just read all the threads on this issue.
