When you are leveling a truck is it as simple as measure top of tire to clearance on front and back and then add the difference as a spacer in the front? I see pictures of guys trucks before and after and with a 2" level it looks like it brought it way up in the front.

There's also a guy that did a write up on here and he put 2" coil spacers and got like 2.5 or 3" height in the front.

I just want to order the right height and try to get it bang on level.

 

what year is your truck? 2wd or 4wd?

 

Half ton or 3/4-1 ton?

 

Sorry it's a 1500 06 4x2.

The only coil spacers from daystar that fit are 1" or 1.5" and if it raises it 1.5" it will still look like a rake. Some guy I work with said he stacked 2 coil spacers? Maybe he was blowing smoke.

 

I imagine your friend was doing something with smoke which likely required much inhaling...yes, it is physically possible to stack spacers, but please do not try it. Your truck can fit a max spacer of 2" which will provide an almost perfectly level truck, but this spacer will cause your UCA to hit the coil bucket during heavy articulation. The suspension geometry is such that a 2" rubber spacer will lift the front more than 2" (around 2.5"). While the earlier 3rd gen trucks could fit a 3" spacer, our '06+ suspension is different enough so that 2" is the max. If you want an easy level with no chance of the UCA banging into the coil bucket, go with the 3" spindles. Easy enough to swap out, and there is nothing else you will have to replace. There is also a 4" spindle that would require you to lift the rear a little, but it costs ~$200 more than the 3". Not worth the extra inch, IMO.

 

Oh, and if you decide on the 2" spacer, I have a perfect set sitting in my closet that I will never use, since I decided to go with longer springs instead (also an option, although the UCA issue is the exact same). If you're interested, I'll let them go for cheap.

 

Hey Brandon, question for you on the 3" spindles: got a brand name or a link? That sounds about perfect for what I want to do. I've looked at the 4" spindles from CST but I don't need that much height and don't want to fork out extra cash for unneeded extras. Thanks

 

They used to be on airbagit but I don't see them on there anymore so idk where you could find them. Unless I missed them last time I looked for them for someone on here.

 

Airbagit was the starter I needed, thanks.

These look to fit the bill, 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500. You guys have experience with these?

Sorry if I'm threadjacking

 

Brandon does I believe
