Default level the front end
Is there a way to level the front end without buying a level kit? I have a 2004 Ram quad cab 2wd.

Crank up your torsion bars. It'll get it close, but not perfect. And be prepared to feel a change in the feel of everything up front... and be ready to have it realigned.

A 2wd does not have torsion bars. You will need to do the spacers which will throw your rack and pinion out of alignment causing premature wear or do a spindle drop.
