Has anyone lifted a 2wd 2009 on this forum?

Not that I have seen. CST makes a 4" lift for the 2wd. Runs about $1500 if I remember right. The daystar 1.5" budget Boost is a good deal for the price. I have had it on mine for about for months and I like it. Has not changed the ride at all but leveled the truck almost perfectly.

I see your in RR. Part runs $40 and about $100 to install. Pickup Heaven in Austin installed mine and Jerry's wheel alignment in Pflugervile cant be beat for price and quality. They have done all my cars and have always done good work.

I might have to check with Pickup Heaven and see what they'd take to install the CST lift. I'm looking for more than just a leveling kit.

I know that when I tow, with a leveling kit, it would look like the Ram sags, whereas it currently just looks level when towing.

Chris and Mike are brothers who own the shop. They don't stock a lot but they can get anything, labor is reasonable and they stand by their work. They did my tint all the way around and the leveling kit. Had a bubble in my tint a few weeks after he did it, took it back and he redid the window while I waited.

Not looking for a leveling kit...... Don't want the sag when towing.

There's not much to that description....

But it looks like a body lift, which isn't what I'm interested in either.

I just installed the Daystar 1.5" level kit, i have to say that i am not convinced that 1.5" is enough to level it.....i'm thinking maybe 2-2.5"

1.5 is not enough, it takes at least 2.5 on my CC 5.7, the engine weight determines what lift you will use between the 4.7 and the 5.7, I cant say about the 4.7, but mine is not level at 2.0 inches either, I will be putting the stock OEM insulators back on top of the 2.0 inch spacers to give it just a little bit more, the 3 inch spacers were REALLY bad riding...then I have 4 inch CST spindles for the front,and CST rear kit for the back
