Default Leveling 2wd 1500 Ram

Alright guys I'm looking to lift my front end to level my ram, but can't decide what spacers to get? Which ones are you guys using and what amount are you lifting? 1.5 2 or something higher to get level? Also did you need new shocks did it effect your ride, or tow-ability? Thanks

what year is your truck?

It takes 2.5 to get perfect.

But on the 06-08 they have had problems with that much spacer so spindles is your best bet.

Yea I have a 2.5 and its perfect, but its an 06-08 so like OE said, I have some problems with the UCA hitting the spring bucket. I would go 2in if you have 06-08 and I think the 05- have had no problems with the 2.5in.

I think mine were $80 from fatbobsgarage.com but they d/c the 2.5in for 06-08 after mine didnt work (i had to send them all kinds of measurements/pics) and a 3in spindle lift is around $300 from airbagit.com

rtm, you need to check your spring ends and make sure they are in the correct slot

An 05 should have no problems running the 2in spacers, theres guys running 3s

As said before, spindles are the best way to go. Spacers should the best choice IMO
