There is the 2.5 spacer, it will fit your model, you will need new shocks, but other than that you will be good to go..

And 06DodgeRam2500 is right. CST does make a 3'' and thats how they get thier hieght. Their 3'' spacers are either 129 or 159, I forget which. But those are what I will be ordering soon so change out the ones I have now.

Keep me posted on how that install goes.........thank you all very much for the info.....im thinking about going with the 2" from bobs.....did the 2" get the truck level or was there still some rake, im wanting to acheive either alittle taller or just level no rake?....

the shocks im looking at going with are the pro comp es3000 any negatives on that model i have found that at 40$ a peice to be the cheapest and best performance for the buck?

I got the Fat Bob's kit with the Fabtech shocks. I actually got about 3.5" on the front.
My back and front are both the same now.

Hopin to get her back in a few hours, will let you know. What I've read here is to expect a slightly higher front end - which is good for me since I wanna add a bar to the front and it will lower it a touch I'm sure

Daystar 2.5 and bilstein 2500 series shocks - rides better and looks better, will take better pictures when I have time.

Highly recommended!
