Default 09 2WD level kit

I know this has been beat down but i cant find a straight answer.....what kit have you used to level your 2wd? 1.5" or 2"? and possibly a link to where i can get this....I would like to put 33"s under it and from what i read this will allow for it.....

I have the Daystar Comfort Ride 1.5" spacer lift from Summitracing.com, part number DYS-KC09103BK. It feels a little more stout and rides smooth. I don't know about moving up to 33" tires as Daystar's website recommends no higher than 31".

the stock tires are not almost 32 inches.
On my 08 i put the 2 inch spacers from daystar in the front and put some 33s under it, it rubbed a little over fast bumps but never turning.

Perfect guys! Yeah I am sure 33"s will be good to go...i leveled my old F150 and actually had 35"s on there for awhile with a little rub, but the 33's I put on later were perfect!

An 08 is not an 09 - not the same generation truck. I could go stick a tape measure on the stock tires, but I'm pretty sure that goodyear knows how tall they are

I have an 09 Ram and it came with 33 inch tires (STOCK), the 20's are actually as close to 33" as you want, I have put on 1.5 inch spacers and also have seen 2.0"
look at the post below it has links to where you can get the stuff
here are some 2 inch these fit ours also

and the 1.5's
http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/DYS-KC09103BK
any of these will work it is up to you how far you want it lifted see other post below

Yeah mine came with 33" tires as well. The 1.5 days star is nice. you wont regret it. Sits more stout and just looks better. No change in ride in my opinion.

I put spacers on my old F150 and it wasn't too bad of an ordeal....i am assuming the Daystar install is pretty simple....other than having to get an alignment after......

no **** sherlock, how long did it take you to figure that one out?

Now I know different tire brands run different sizes no matter what is saying it is, but my 285/45/22 MAYBE a 31 1/2 on a good day. (truthfully it looked like 31.3) so you are gonna tell me a 265/70/17 is 31.7 inches tall..... i think not. (and yes, that is the stock tire found on a 2008 dodge ram with 17 inch rims)
