Default Leveling kit for 06 4x4

Wanted to get your opinion on a leveling kit for my Ram. What is the easiest kit to install and still get a good 2.5 " lift on the front???

I'm assuming you have a 1500 with IFS? Please specify. Big difference between IFS and SFA.

Not a tough setup and definitely the best option.

I dont know if it is IFS or not. Its a 06 1500 ST 4x4. I am at work so I cant go look at the front end. If I had to guess I would think it was IFS.

Yes you have IFS.

I use quick struts from rancho. It levels vehicle and is basically 1.5inch lift...

I like shock hardness adjusting feature.

1.5 inches still makes it nosedive... I have mine 2 inches in the front and its still dirt sniffin a little bit. 2.5 is what levels it.

Exclamation Do your homework with the 2 1/2 inch blocks

I have a squeak in my front end. I am finding out could be the spring squeak. Sounds like you need to grease upper and bottom of spring. I also have a vibration when in 4 wheel drive. I am still researching my options to get a lift without vibration and squeak. Any suggestions?
