Default In a bit of a pickle...

I already have the tires and spacers ordered. I choose the 33x12.5R20 Toyo Open Country M/T....However Im looking for the 2" leveling kit...And from everything i seen now which i ddint see before....If that you need a aftermarket control arm for the 2in leveling kit...I posted about a week ago asking if anyone knew if Belstein Adjustable shocks would work on the 2wd Dodge Ram 1500SLT 4.7....But I didnt get any response or any help...So please could someone take a second and instead of just reading this and moving on help me out...Id prefer not to let those sweet tires sit in the garage....Thanks!

Bilstein lift struts and Rancho quicklifts are for 4wd only.
No control arm is needed for a level.

no you dont need a control arm upgrade for that....but I have the 2.5in level and my UCA hits the spring bucket regularly.

And you can get bilsteins for your truck but not the 5100 lift struts
