Even with mine as tall as it is now, it still can be down in the front if I park where the weight shifts to the front, but I am sure the smooth ride is a trade off. I will take the smooth ride.

 

All of this talk about a smooth ride makes me wonder...my truck rides rough as hell...even before the spacers and the E-load tires. And I have a slight vibration anywhere from 65-75 miles an hour. Two re-balances, new tires and an alignment haven't cured it. Going back to the dealership soon, and hopefully they won't give me the runaround because of my upgrades. My salesman said he would back me that the problem existed before the upgrades. I'm wondering if it possibly could be a driveshaft balance problem.

 

John i just looked at your truck again, maybe its the weight of the HEMI, making the difference, mine was REALLY smooth, before and now is a little stiffer, but all that ride in it are amaxed on the ride, I dont have any complaints on the ride ,when I first got it , i couldnt believe it rode that good, not just the rear with the coils,but the front also

 

You may be right about the weight...who knows. The weight difference between the two engines are only about 50-100 lbs. I have a 50 lb postal calibration weight I could put in the engine bay to see if it changes the ride quality, but I'm thinking that's too small of a difference to see any changes. My truck does ride smooth on good pavement but takes bumps in the terrain harshly.

On another note, I received the 2" spacers from Daystar in the mail yesterday. They are MUCH thicker than the 1.5" spacers I currently have installed. The 1.5" spacer had about 3/4-1" of thickness between where the spring seats and where it contacts the truck. The 2" spacer is very close to 2". I remember asking the tech how I was supposed to get 1.5" out of a ~3/4" spacer and he said there was a ratio for spacer thickness vs lift height. By his logic, I will probably get 3" from this one!

 

Those are the ones I got 2nd, they lifted the truck so HIGH it extended the control arms all the way they would go, it bounced down the road, if the measurements are 2 inches from coil seat to the bottom, then it will raise it almost 4 inches, the shock will stop it from rasing that far, but even when you stop ,it will bounce the front and the rear .like it is dipping forward and backward, and that is if you just come to a stop quickly. I cant put any more pictures on here or I would show you the ones I got 2nd, I took a picture measuring them. Are they 3 inches tall overall, and have a coil seat to top of about one inch?, that makes a 2 inch spcer lift about 4 inches,
If you get a chance call Performance Lifts.com, ask for Jeff, he will help you , he can explain WHY , the spacer people dont really know what is going on.......they have the ones that will level it out almost perfect, it will measure 2 inches total height and minus the coil seat to the top, is one inch, giving it a one inch height, that will raise it 2 inches.

 

Here are some photos of the new spacers. The overall length is 2.5" and the spring seats 1" into the spacer. Therefore the thickness seat to seat is approx. 1.5".

Does this sound like the spacer you installed. You have me worried now about having them install these, haha.

 

On another note, I was curious and looked up the part # for the spacer they just sent me. According to their website:

KC09100BK
Comfort Ride

DODGE

RAM 1500 2WD 94-01 2.5" LEVELING KIT

RAM 2500 / 3500 2WD 94-10 2.5" LEVELING KIT, LONGER FRONT SHOCK ABSORBERS REQUIRED (AVAILABLE SEPARATELY)

I'm going to call them back...their site claims that it is only compatible with the 94-01 Dodge Ram 1500.

 

No mine were even bigger.......those I think will still be too tall.........that is about 3 inches of lift, and unfortunatly, with that much lift the springs will be compressed a lot, giving you a harsh ride, it will lift it...but at a sacrifice, as long as you know that going in ,it is ok, they will fit. 2 inches total is about all i would go with, the 1.5.s i had in there at first, were not really felt at all, these 2 inch now ,i can feel but it is not bad at all, anything bigger YOU WILL FEEL..... A LOT, great pictures also. I will try and find a way to show you my spacers i put in now.

 

Wish I could just find a set of 2-2.5" SPRINGS and end this madness.

 

The spacers will fit the older dodges too ,so dont worry,
I tried to get you my album on photobucket, try this, you will see the 2 inch I have now, the so called 1.5 inch daystar (LEVEL) kit, and the WAY TOO BIG 4 INCHERS,claimed to be 2 inch level kit.
