Thanks for the pics! Some good information in this thread. So far, these are the spacers and the results:

Daystar 1.5" Spacer (KC09103BK)
Total length - 1.5"
Minus spring seat - 1"
Seat to Seat - .5"
Total Lift acheived - ~3/4-1"

Daystar 2" Level Kit (KC09100BK)
Total Length - 2.5"
Minus spring seat - 1"
Seat to Seat - 1.5"
Total Lift acheived - ?? TBA

ProComp 2" Level Kit (For Chevy 2wd, works for RAM 1500)
Total Length - 2"
Minus Spring Seat - 1"
Seat to Seat - 1"
Total Lift acheived - 2"

Daystar? 2" Level Kit (Tallest, unknown part #)
Total Length - 3"
Minus Spring Seat - 1"
Seat to Seat - 2"
Total Lift Acheived - ~4" (too much lift, bottomed out suspension)


BULLRAM, check these figures and correct me if I'm wrong on any of it.

Thanks dude. This is very helpful info.

the ones that now for me that fit perfect are Chevy 2wd spacers, its the ones you have for shortest unknown part number,they are so far the only ones that really raised it 2 inches, mine was a hair more since I left in the rubber isolators, I have the part number, they are from pro-comp, they fit PERFECT, same diameter as ours.....
did you see my other post on the 6 inch Performance lifts ,That I have now ?

Yeah, I did...it looks great.

I'm wondering if the polyeurethane for the ProComp spacers is harder than Daystar's. If that's the case, this 2" spacer I have now (the one that measures 2.5") may work out to roughly the same lift.

I ordered my last Dodge Ram Leveling Kit from ram1500parts.com and have been pretty amazed with their customer service. I think they are newer, but when I called their customer service number, their guy found exactly what fit my 2007 Hemi 4x4. Try giving them a call?

I forgot the stuipid paper at home today, that had the part number, but if you call performance lifts.com, and ask for jeff, he can help you, he knows the number for the spacers that were in my kit, I will have to go home this afternoon and post the number later, or you can call for a sooner response if you need.he is serious about the truck being level, most 4x4 shops dont know about 2WD, quirks

My Daystar 2" Leveling Kit is being installed now. Here are the before shots...keep in mind my truck has the 1.5" spacer installed in these photos. After shots to come later.

You'll notice there is still about a 2" difference between the front and rear. And this is WITH the 1.5" spacer installed.
