What kind of an answer is that???? I would want to know a lot more about that bridge before I tried to cross it.

Man, I think I'd just remove the damn thing. Is it worth having a leveled truck and putting up with shudder/wobble in 4wd? Not to mention the potential future issues down the road? My two cents: remove it and cut your losses now.

I agree with everyone to cut my losses while I am somewhat ahead, but I found a way to resolve all the other issues with the truck, so I am going to take a chance with this one. The dealer that took a second look at it seemed really cool about Mopar parts and issues, so I think they will take care of me if something does happen. Thank you all for the input.

i still want to know if it has anything to do with what model truck you drive. It seems to me that the Larimie, SLT big horn, SLT would have more of a comfort ride compared to lets say the Sport or TRX models. maybe they have different shims in the CV joints causing the problems if that were the case im in the clear cause i have the basic ST model.

I have the SLT Bighorn with the 2.5" Mopar leveling kit. The same exact one he is talking about and I have had no issues and I am pushing 13K on the leveling kit.

2009 up Ram 1500 2" lift kit from Mopar - part number P5155797

This kit is the new one for 4wd Ram 1500's and includes Bilstein front struts, rear shocks, new rear springs and misc. bump stops etc. I believe it is the one the article refers to, it was jointly developed with Bilstein. Here's a link to one outfit selling it:

http://www.fredbeansparts.com/index....lift-kits.html

Mopar (Dodge) lists it as a lift kit instead of a leveling kit and it is in the Mopar 2011 Performance Parts Catalog. If anybody has installed this kit I would be interested to hear how they like it.

$1000 bucks for a two inch lift why not save the time and save some extra cash for the 4'' lift i dont get it. this lift though does look like a true lift so it might work and i can tell you the shocks are real nice makes for a nice ride.

Yeah, especially if they are not going to warranty it anyway.
