Leveling kit & Limit Straps!!?
#31
Well I was going to do the alignment this Saturday. I will see if that does anything for me...And about buying new shocks I don't think its gonna happen, I'm strapped for cash at the moment & I had just bought the Bilstein ones.
Plus I think I rather save some cash and go with somthing like this in a couple of months...
3" spindle, 2.5 spacer on 315/70/17
Or maybe a Rough Country 6" Lift

Either way I'm real happy with my leveled RAM. Just need some 33's & new wheels, running stock wheels & tires now 245/70/R17.
Compared to a stock height RAM...

I just leveled my 2005 2wd this weekend (pics and a new thread on it soon). I left the stock shocks on it and you definitely feel every bump in the road. I assume that with the longer shocks, even though it hits on bigger bumps, the ride is at least quite a bit smoother right? Right now it rides like crap. Reminds of the ride I got when I lowered my 1990 Isuzu back in the day.

Jram, check your PMs
And for those of us with struts, not shocks, it is advised to NOT get new struts. I did the same thing as you and got the bilstien 2+" (2500) struts. I never got a chance to ride in it with the shorter struts, so I have no experience with it, thats all just stuff a suspension specialist told me.

so will the 2500 shocks fit a 2004 1500 with torsion bar suspension? i am looking for a solution to fit the "knocking/thud" of the shock over extending when i hit a pot hole or when im offroading.
mine i need the eyelet at the bottem of the shock and the threaded rod on top. is that the same set up you have?
thanks!!
