Default Looking to buy a ram, got some questions

Hey guys, i'm looking to buy an 06-08 ram in the next couple weeks, and i've got a few questions i'd like to have answered before i pick out a truck.
I'll be looking for a 1500 with a hemi

I've noticed that some 1500's sit low in the front, but some 1500's sit like the 2500's, what's the deal with the different heights between the 1500's? i know the 2500 is a solid front axle compared to the 1500 with IFS, but do some 1500's also have solid fronts?

Also, say i decide on a 1500, and it's low in the front, are there leveling kits to make it sit like a 2500?

And what are some good websites to get leveling kits and other parts for rams?

Thanks in advance!

people crank the torsion bars on the 1500's to get rid of the stupid raked look, i'll be doing mine when i have money for an alignment.

would coil spacers be an alternative to cranking up the tortion bars?

there are no torsion bars to crank on the 06-08...
the top gunz custom level kit is a good kit

Torsion bars on the '02-'05 4x4s, coil overs on the '06+'s. Talking 1500 series, all but megacabs, of course...

yeah +3 on the no torsion bars, you can get a leveling kit, there are several good brands like top gunz, rough country, just do a search and you can come up with a handful easily. Can get leveling kits from autotrucktoys.com or stylingtrucks.com
