I checked online and think the topguncustomz. I've heard people using their stuff and they are not as expensive as some of the others. They offer rear only kits for like $50 -$80 depending on the height. They have 3/4, 1, 1.5, and 2 inch rear kits. For a 2.5 front I think 1.5 in the rear may be the best match. To me it looked like the 3/4 sat a little high up front still, the 1 was about level (but maybe even front high....will vary truck to truck) so 1.5 seems a safe bet.
Oh, and an interesting note I found out. Laramie trucks equipped with AUTO 4x4 cannot be leveled....not sure if this correlates with the problem we all talk about.

gotta question- should i get bigger tires/rims before i get the kit installed or wait, or have the kit installed drive alittle on the dinky stock 17's. i'm guessing the dealership will align the truck after install.

I would wait to get different tires/rims till after. That way if anything goes wrong with the lift you aren't stuck with a setup that won't fit. Also, you will be able to see how much room you have to work with. The dealer will charge for the alignment most likely. Mine quoted me under $350 for the install and alignment. I have 20's so it costs more to align. I know I could have gotten it cheaper but this is what I'm stuck with if it is going to be dealer installed.

This kit is real, I got mine installed last tuesday and it is pretty awesome. Only issue is that superlift and Mopar have not figured out what to do about the rear setup. The kit I got only came with front spacers and the feeling I got from Superlift is that they are most likely to roll out new springs to compensate for the rear. The rep on the phone said that it most likely won't be till around late June or early July before everything is finalized. He also said that these kits are not technically supposed to be released yet, but I got mine through my dealer after he called someone at Mopar to confirm how to order. (the kit is supplier direct, so it ships directly from superlift).

Anyways, here are some pics. I didn't have a tape, so I used my blackberry to give you an idea of the difference in height. Rear does need about an inch to make it sit completely level, but in my opinion, it looks so much better with the front sitting up noticeably higher than stock.

Here are some pics for you to see the results.

and now the after pics...

So has anyone come to the end of this, cause i am getting confused i hear so many different things. I called my dealer and dodge directly to see if a leveling kit would void the warrenty and i hear it does. I was goin to order mine from Hellbent steel which run 89 bucks and have 3 buddies that use them but on there 06 trucks and they love them.

Well, a leveling kit won't void you entire warranty, only things it would directly involve like CV joints I believe...if they fail early that is. This one is a Mopar part so I would think it would not void any warranty. I've had leveling kits before and known so many people with leveling kits I'm just not that worried about it.
