Default Two Big Questions

Well i decided to splurge and get a leveling kit a couple months ago on my truck. It is 2wd so I got the spacers, and my truck is an 07 so I thought it was different. So I have two questions:

I got a guy wanting me to buy his brand new rancho 9000 shocks from his 2004 ram 1500. Will these fit my 07 (with the shock/strut difference)?

Also, the guy lied and I didn't get 3" of lift, more like 1". Im pissed but he is being a dick and wont deal with me. So can one of you send me a link to cheap 2.5-3" spacer for my truck? Thanks

How thick was the spacer you put on?

I know this link has 2 1/2'' spacers for up to 04 but maybe if you do some research or someone else can answer, maybe these will work for you

Well, if there's a 2wd Ram in your area, maybe stop at the dealership and find a used one and measure the front fender difference off the ground.
The problem is you've raised the back 1.5"
I would pull those blocks out so you can get a better level. The fron tof the 2wd's are nose dived considerably. You will def need new shocks for a 3" lift! There's no way you can put on 3" blocks and only get 1" of lift. It's impossible. Also, you'll need an alignment.

NO the shocks will NOT fit. here's a link for some shocks. http://www.shockwarehouse.com/index....cted_year=2007

I had 2" longer shocks put in after my lift. And I did measure it, it was between .5 and 1" higher than stock. That is not what I was told.

And yea I had to get an alignment last time also.

Im just understanding how you add a 3'' spacer and come out with half of the lift.
