Default Leveling Kit Help.

I drive a 2003 Dodge Ram. (with a hemi)
its a 2wd, and im going to put a leveling kit on it.
it has to be a 3' to be completely level. do they make 3 inch for 2wd?
i saw one on fatbobs for 70 bucks but its a 2wd..

Anyone have leveling kits, know which ones are reliable, and which websites are reliable? and good prices..

Thanks!

explorer, you have the 2.5in kit on your 2007 2wd? that means a 3.5in tall spacer? im still having trouble with my 2in kit on my 2007, and I cant see anything taller being able to be run

anything taller than a 2" will cause you tons of issues like ball joints ect ... it will never ride the same because you are putting to much stress on the suspension parts .

2 ways of making it work . buy a suspension lift and dont install the rear blocks
or use the level you want that is more than 2" and re-due the whole front end .

Like I believe we talked about, a 2" RC coil setup will level it as well as the 3" rc with the 1.5" blocks. Definitely longer shocks are recommended.
