The stock shocks are a definate no go. Those got ripped out cause they were to short. i hit a big bump and both of them were laying in my springs. the longer shock is a must. i have a call into the place that I got the spacer at and he is supposed to call me back. Any other ideas?

I would take it to the dodge house but they are going to say screw you due to it being aftermarket stuff. This is bull****.

He's already topped out and blown the top off factory shocks. In a previous thread he had, he got home after hearing a huge thud and found both his factory shocks in two pieces.

Some 06 and up rams for some reason are hit and miss on the leveling kits. I think like Matt's problem is the upper control arm is hitting the top of the spring bucket and that's the pop/bang you keep hearing.

It's almost like they went to a shorter spindle or if I remember from talking and seeing matt's suspension set up a much thicker uca.

I hate to do it but my truck has 17k on it and is like new. It looks great with the level but the banging makes it sound like a peice of crap that has been thrown together. I am worried that I am doing a lot of damage that I will be paying for later.
