so recently got a leveling kit for my 03 1500 2wd i know it is a good idea to replace the stock shocks with a 2 inch longer one does anybody have a link to where they bought theirs i just cant seem to find any that say 2" longer so i don't want to screw up and order the same size ones any help would really help out! thanks

whoops, just saw you are 2wd. The ones i posted will only work on the 4x4

 

Not necessary. My 2 1/2" level kit has been on for almost two years -- longer shocks weren't needed. In fact, I still have my OEM shocks at 103K.

MikeHTally what kit did you order and you have had no problems running stock shocks?

 

Year Make / Model Lift RC8000 RC9000 FRT RR FRT RR 2002 - 2005 1500 Pickup
(4" - 6" with Rough Country Lift Only) 0 - 1" 8190 8105 9190 9105 2 - 3" 8117 8158 - 9158 4 - 6" 8308 8112 9308 9112
1994 - 2001 Ram 1500, 2500 3 - 4" 8175 8176 9175 9176


These are the ones for a 2wd. The 8117 are the ones you'll want for the front. A stock shock is what you want for the back, so either the 8105 or 9105 will work for the rear.

 

with an 02-05 2wd, the 2500 shocks will fit, and are 2" longer. simple as that. i recommend bilstiens. cant go wrong with thems

 

really i did not know that thanks john
