Doesn't the TRX have factory installed front suspension leveling blocks? If so, it seems that it would be easy to have the dealer look up the part #. Let us know what you find out, as I want to do this project too once the '10 comes in.

The TRX has different struts. The TRX ones are red and have slightly more preload on the coil. This makes a TRX sit 3/4" higher in the front. You can barely tell in the pictures... but there is a slight difference. The black strut is the one that comes on every other truck.

I got the part number from the invoice from someone who had it installed on a 1500.

Very interested in this kit. Subscribed to this thread to see what comes of it. All I would like is to be able to fit 35's on my truck and hopefully this kit will allow for that. Looking forward to more information and possibly pics of someone who has this kit or is getting it.

I also ordered it. The dealer had no idea what I was talking about at first, but after my persistance, they called someone in Detroit with the part number and got some more info. The part is vendor direct (so mopar is not producing it and no he did not know who the kit is coming from), and it is new for the 2010 catalogue (that has not been printed and distributed yet).

The guy said it'll take up to ten days to arrive, so I setup an appt to have it installed on 5/12. I plan on taking before and after pics with a tape measure and will post once installed.

Pretty excited, and am looking for some new tires. I want to keep my factory 20's for now, so any suggestions on tire size?

I'm just curious to see if it gets rid of the vibrations in 4x4 mode when lifted, the 2'' lift I have now is not driveable in 4x4 mode.

renos09, I hate to tell you this but I've done quite a bit of research on this and the vibration in 4x4 is proposed to be built into "some" trucks. It means some unlucky people have a truck that vibrates in 4x4 and it is magnified with any kind of 2 inch lift (spacer or bilstein like shock). That's why I'm doing this mopar one so if I have one of these I may not be out the money, hopefully.
iskybantilus, It was $200.00 and p5155211 was the part number. I called a shop in Colorado that had one in stock and they opened the box to see what was in it. They said it had 4 spacers inside...but no instructions, lol.
So hold tight a couple weeks and we will see what happens with those of us trying this out, we can be the lab rats.
