2013 ram 2wd leveling kit nightmare!!!!!!

If they are telling you to wait for it to seat all the way after it's installed they are misleading you. That spacer needs to be seated BEFORE you re-install the assembly back on your truck. Otherwise, as it "seats" the 3 bolts on top will not be tight anymore and will cause even more issues. Take it out, seat that spacer all the way, tighten the bolts, then re-install it. If the issue continues, either go to a different brand of spacer or go back to stock, it's not worth the headache.
Is the Daystar kit a poly spacer or a metal spacer? I have never had any issues at all with a metal spacer.

What 3 bolts are you talking about - he has a 2wd truck. No struts, just a conventional spring and a conventional shock.

Pretty sure that they just get jammed onto the upper coil bucket like they do on a jeep. Typically you remove the stock rubber and then lube up the spacer with a little soap and then beat the crap out of them with a rubber mallet. Then you put the stock rubber back between the spacer and coil.
This vid they just slid it on - never actually seen one go that easy.

If this is what he has then it looks pretty straight forward

Thanks for all the help guys but today I tore it all down and loosen the shocks and they both exploded in two pieces from being over extended. So I just took the spacers out. They are to much head ace and make the truck ride like crap. I'm looking for maybe some 3 inch spindles if they make any for my truck. All I'm finding is 4 or 4.5 so I'll keep looking
