i just got my 2002 ram last week and im looking to level it. i was wondering if i should just spend the money on the ready lift one for 200 something or should i get the cheap ebay ones. anything helps just not familiar with this truck

 

I just got the rough country 2.5in on my 2006. I think it was like $80 some for it. Still drives great and sits level which is nice. I just got it a week ago but love it so far

 

Rough country keys with rough country nitro shocks (longer than stock in front for level fit).

 

2WD or 4x4?

 

I think I got the $80 eBay ones too. Two years in, and no problems. I would pop for new shocks though, and skip the spacers.

I went new front and rears, and my truck must have been due, because it rides better than when I first bought it.

Some guys will tell you to just crank the stock keys...

 

Can't help you out until we know whether it's 4x4 or 4x2.

 

If you want to go cheap, crank the torsion bolts - it is free. New shocks with fronts that are made for a leveled truck will probably help the ride though. I am certainly happy with mine and I don't think swapping the keys had anything to do with it. Take the level kit money and spend it on shocks instead. You will need an alignment as well.

 

I have a 2" one on mine.I've had it for about 2 years now with no problems.I got it from here http://www.fatbobsgarage.com/?gclid=...FY-iPAodnw4AGA

 

+1 for the alignment. Either way you go, it'll goof up a stock alignment and wreck your tires before too long.

 

2002 ram 2x4 is about 45 bucks rubber pucks above the springs. You can get different lift sizes depending on how much your truck needs lifted to level it..
I used 2.5 spacers up front and 2 inch lowering shackles sits perfectly level..
