Default Leveling kit

OK i have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 laramie and was wanting to ge a leveling kit to get the truck to sit level. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on if i should get a 2 inch leveling kit with 1 inch blocks in the back. Or if just a 2in kit would make it even. If anything i wouldnt mind for the front to be a tid bit higher than the back. I want to be able to run 33 inch tires or 34.

33'' Tires are stock...I put a 2 inch level on my truck when I put new tires that are equivalent (sp?) to 34's

2/1 will work. I would look for shackles though IMO instead of blocks.

I put a 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front and 1.5 inch add a leaf in the rear and I comfortably fit a 35X12.5 with a wheel of the right offset.

With your torsion bar system it takes about 2.25-2.5" to make the truck level. You can either crank the torsion bolts for a free lifts or purchase and install the leveling keys...
