rough ride after level kit...Help
so I had my 2.5 level kit put on my 2007 2wd Ram about a 3 or 4 weeks ago...the shop put in the 2500 series shocks on mine to compensate for the lift, well after putting about 800 miles on the truck with the level kit and new shocks, the truck whenever I hit bumps or anything like that the truck makes a pretty noticeable CLUNK sound in the front and rear, it doesnt seem like anything is hitting and nothing has come off, but it just does not seem normal to me...any ideas on what this could be, or is it in fact normal?
The 2500 shocks are designed for a 2500. They are alot firmer and made to handle more weight than 1500 shocks. You shouldve gotten just a longer shock, not a longer heavier duty one. That things gonna ride real rough with those beefy shocks on there.
I would have to get another alignment just for changing my shocks? They didnt do that when they switched them out??? I had to come back for my shocks the next day after they had already done my alignment...another issue is, the look of the truck is perfect, i dont want it to settle any more than it has or it wont be level, sometimes even nose high in the front, I like that look, what shocks do I need that will not let the truck go down in the front but be a smoother ride?
That shop had no clue!!! Of course your ride will harshen up a good bit, especially being you have a 4x2.
You need to take it right back there and have them switch out that shock for a lighter duty shock that is 2" longer than stock.
The Monroe Sensa Tracks would be a great choice for your application and at about $35 a pop, are very economical. I personally know a few 4x2 owners who've gotten them and they all love 'em...
The shock won't effect the ride height, you already achieved that with the coil spacers...
