Level the front or the back?
I often find myself staring at the rear wheel wells and hate that extra space that often....well stares back at me. I've been looking into these kits that lower 2''-4'' "Ground Force" I believe they are called. A leaf spring relocation kit.
Every where I've found are around $100, Since I don't plan on putting any bigger than a 265.70.17 on there, I should be fine right? I've never seen any Ram's in my area that have the rear leveled, just stupid rediculous amounts of lift on trucks that would cry if they ever saw dirt...

JusJay's truck has the rear leveled and I believe he bought 2" drop shackles and removed the overload spring and the truck is pretty level IMO. Also, check ebay they have some on there from around $50 and up.

Not to hijack but add a question along this line of thought, Is there an air spring kit that will keep the stock towing ability? I would love to lower the rear so it sits level but still hook a 4 wheeler trailer up and not lower the rear even more under tongue weight.

look i got drop shackles and NO o/l leaf and i tow my quads and i have no issues....i wanna get a 2"/4" drop so i can put my o/l back in and ill still be able to tow my quads...i just wont have major articulation....and with a 2/4 drop i think you need larger rims to be honest cause of the fronts will rub on control arms with smaller rims....and you can put just drop shackles in w/o buying new rims and nate you can get just drop shackles and be fine w/o helper bags....towing that trailer or losing payload its when you start removing leafs your payload decreases......

Idk, those mud graps make for a sexy 5.9 powered truck 
Is it bad that I'm considering doing drop shackles and removing the front spacers?
