Default Minor lift

So I was just wondering what other people have to say about a thought I had. I want to lift my '07 Ram 1500 but until i have the cash for a set of bigger tires. I was thinking of putting a leveling kit inthe front and then putting 2" blocks in the back to lift it as well and keep the stock looking stance. Just with a little more ground clearance. Any one have any thoughts?

I'll be odd man out here! I put a 2-1/2" Readylift on mine a month ago and actually think the ride quality improved! Don't get the skip anymore over road transitions and the truck rides smoother then it did stock! Can't say anything about the 2" blocks on the rear as I didn't do that due to wanting the rake of the truck level!

Thats what Im doing to my 2002. I think that a body lift would be harder to install and i like the idea of the leveling kit.

Thats what I did on mine (level and blocks) but the ride quality has been lessened quite a bit. If I were you id throw a body lift under there (What im thinking of doing at least)

Check out Frog's BL install video and you will see it's not hard at all. That's why I might be considering it sometime.
