Default 2003 2wd leveling kit qouestion help please!

hi all i have a 03 2wd looking at getting a leveling kit for it i have seen the daystar 2" spacers and have also found a 3" lift coil just trying to get a opinion on witch would be a better lift im not so sure that the daystar would be enough of a lift to level it out or close? any pics of fellow 2wd with this kit would greatly help thanks!

Welcome to DF, I'm running a Rough Country 2" leveling coil setup with their longer shocks. I think the 3" coil may be too much for you, it would sit just a little high in the front, you'd probably need to put a 1"block in the back to actually level it out. I put the new coils in and have had no problems, and it's pretty level for my 2wd. I can shoot you some pics in the next day or two if you want. I just liked the fact Rough Country was reasonably priced and actually sent me the coils and not a spacer. The whole setup with the coils and shocks were just barely over $200.00. Check out Roughcountry.com.

Very nice truck Grap! I hear ya, I went with the 295/70/17 NTG's and still have plenty of room to go bigger! Wish I would've gone with a 34 or 35" equivalent. I wasn't trying to say spacers are not worth it. Anything to get that front rake off the front of these Dodge's are a good thing. They look sooooo much better leveled. The leveling kits aren't what cost you, it's the tires. haha

skater87, I guess IMO a 2 inch level is normally all you need to get the truck to sit properly, normally anything larger and you may have to block the rear end to get that "leveled" look we all look for. I personally think that 3 inches is a little much if you're just looking for a level. I'd go with a 2 or at the most 2.5" kit. good luck bro.

on my 2500, a 2.5" spacer brought my front up higher than the rear.
