Putting too big of a leveling kit can cause vibration in 4wd. It's extremely common in '06 and newer Ram 1500 4wd, not all trucks will have this problem tho. Adding a leveling kit to a truck that already has drop bracketry from a suspension lift has far less of a chance for the vibration to occur when compared to a stock truck with a 2.5 inch leveling kit. So technically a 2.5" leveled 4wd with a bad 4wd driveline vibration is more useless then his or my suspension set up.

Very true, but when you pull the coil springs off a 2500 truck to lift a 1500 in the rear you have created a unknown danger to oneself and innocent others on the road. That's why I dont care for bighorn's lift, it's dangerous and not designed for the way he/she has it set up.
2500's still have leafs.I do not have 2500 coil springs on the rear of my truck.Sking don't hate.

So your post on Dodge Talk about having 2500 front coil springs in the rear of your truck is not true?

Ahh here it is. No hating just proving you tell some BIG stories.. Here is what you wrote on Dodge Talk post 40 in the thread BDS VS PRO COMP------------------ Originally Posted by BigHorn 4 Life

So I might be getting a new 8" suspension lift from skyjacker or something. Eather way I will have my truck sitting level soon. i am not cutting my springs though.

Never said I had 2500 front coils on the rear of my truck lmao. I didn't say that.I was told that I had rear 2500 coils on the rear of my truck and I looked it up after the fact.I found that is imposible because 2500's have leafs.
Here is what I have on my truck,

2500 trucks do have coil springs they are up front and the leafs are in the back.. So when you say you have 2500 coils, some of us understand what is being implied. Maybe before you speak you should have your info straight.

From what I've read the TRX4's struts do have it sitting about an inch higher. When folks put a 2 1/2" spacer at the top (axle is now 3 1/2" lower than stock) it changes the angle of the CV joint and can cause vibration especially in 4WD high range. Now this is just what I've read, have not tried it in my truck. Found this thread looking for anyone who had used Bilsteins with success. I've got a 2009 TRX4 and want to level it, it does have a rake albeit less than the standard 4WD.
