Default Leveling Kit

I have a 2008 ram 1500 2wd. Im looking to 'level' it, which i just wanna bring the front end up some..it doesnt have to be perfectly level. Im not looking to get new tires or have to replace shocks, i just wanna bring that front end up a little bit without spending a ton. Any suggestions, tips, ect?

Thumbs up

3" spindles from airbagit. Also sold on ebay for $270 shipped.
Easy to install, and all you need is an alignment afterwards. You can see the difference in my sig pic. If the rear of my truck were not lifted, it would be level.

Bilstein's all the way... For less than $300 you can get the leveling shocks for the ram and they ride awesome!

Try using the search, as this has been asked time over time.

The Bilstein leveling struts only work on the 4x4 and are not applicable to this user's 4x2, as the front suspension is not set up the same. The choices for 4x2 are spindles and/or spring spacers. I recommend the spindles since they are easier to install IMO, provide more lift and do not affect ride quality.
