Default Lift kit

After a qucik talk with the clan, I decided not to go though with a full lift (yet). Wife's abit? shorty than i am, she's using a springboard as it is now. But I am considering one of the 2" kits for the front, to even things out. Anyone have stories, hints onb a brand, buy from whos?

Oh yeah, will a leveling lift on the front, or any lift for that matter, void warranties?

I bought 3" coils from CST to level mine out, Ive heard of spacers coming out...not likely but I'll be going with a bigger lift later which is why I bought the coils for now until I get spindles.

Im actually going to get a leveling kit for the front of my truck as well-this shop is close to me and said that the Revtek kit is great.

Well, I don't need anything GARGANTUAN. I think a leveling kit will do for now. Not a lot of trails, just rough roads for fisjing/hunting trips. I was looking at the 2" kits on ebay, wondering about those. Stock shocks and all, eh?

Body lifts look cheap. The older 2nd gen rams weren't as bad cause you could get away with a 2in body and it would look absolutely horrific. Plus the fully molded wheel wells helped hid the bed/frame gap.

Here's my old 99 Ram

2 wheel drive, 360, 1500. first one is with a 3" suspension 32x11.50 ... the second is with 3" suspension, 3" spindle, and 2" body lift 35x12.50 ... 3rd pic is the replacement

I used the Daystar 2" levelling kit. It's really just spacers, but for $130 bucks I could clear my 315 70r/17's. Installing them is easy if you have any mechanical abilities at all. Oh yeah, they don't void the warranty. I also installed a 3" body lift.
