06 Ram Level
Hi All,
I've recently decided to level my truck and I've been reading a lot of stuff on it.
Am I correct that to get a 2" level in the front I could just have Blistein 5100's installed on the front? Is that all I would need to do to get the 2 in lift (at the correct setting of course), no other parts?
It seems to me that this is a better option than the spacer level kit if thats the case.
Oh, this is for a '06 1500 QCSB 4x4.
Thanks,
Vyx

leveling
Hi,
I bought the Trailmaster DL222 2" level (which is a coil spring spacer). For my longer shocks (which are necessary), I originally had weak trailmasters, but just got some Rancho 5000 series Part No. 5279. They are much stiffer, and I like the ride now. Rides like a damn truck.
Have any of you looked into replacing your stock coil springs with a spring that will increase your ride height by 3"? Longer shocks will be needed, plus I suppose you'd have to consider the lack of space up in the upper wheel well. The coil spring bucket may be pushed up too high at that point. I don't know. But check out:

Spring rates change with coil diameter, so buying an aftermarket coil spring may change the ride quality of your vehicle significantly. Anyone using a larger coil spring?? I'd be interested to hear how it's been... don't mind what year your truck is!!
Edit: check out Rancho's new QUICK LIFT for your 4x4s. From what I understand, replacement of your stock struts with these QuickLifts will increase your ride height without too much effort. See:

Ok, peace.

Hey guys I have a 06 1500 Mega and I put a 3" Maxx coil spacer in and new BDS oil shocks. I'm off road quite a bit in the winter months so I went away from gas shocks as they charge up to much and the ride is way to stiff. I had to put in a BD Diesel stabilizer bar which connects the frame rails and steering vector shaft together to stop the bump steer and it rides pretty good for a big truck with a SFA. From ground to top of wheel well it stands at 44" on the nose and I'm running 315/70/17's but am going to switch to 35x12.5x17 m/t. I know Core Racing makes a longer coil and bilistein shock combo but it's pricey. Anyway the spacers are cheap and easy if your only looking for a moderate lift.
