from what i see and hear its easy and cheap for a 02-05 ram.you can watch a video on youtube on how to do it for dodge rams.i think the 06+ rams are harder and more expensive

I don't know that it's any harder on a coil over ram, a little more time consuming to be sure but not that hard to do.
You just have more stuff to go through to get the coils out to install the spacers. Torsion front end guys don't have to mess with the sway bar ends or upper ball joints to get at the keys. But it's really a job that anybody whose even a little familiar with hand tools need not pay to have done...

its not to hard at all! on my 07 2wd the hardest part was getting the ball joints out of the spindle. The only cost was the kit and a coil spring compressor from oreilys that I rented and then you take it back and they give you your money back so no cost at all.
