Default 2010 TRX4 Leveling

Has anyone used a leveling kit on a TRX4... The dealer said Dodge has not created one. A local shop has one for sale, not sure the brand. If you have leveled one how does it look? What size spacers did you use?
Thanks,
Ross

The trx4 essentially already has a leveling kit on it... adding another one will jack up your front end.

I would go with the Mopar/superlift 4 inch lift and the trx4 adapter kit. It will lift your front end about 2.5 inches.

There is no leveling kit of any kind on a TRX4. The pre load for the front spring is different and the shock is heavier. If you want to level a TRX4 you need to change the shock to a NON TRX4 shock and then add a leveling kit or go with the billstein or core kit.

yes... the truck sits higher in the front than stock... its suspension is set up similar to the aftermarket bilstein leveling kit... it essentially has a leveling kit when compared to a regular truck... adding a leveling kit to a TRX4 is similar to adding a leveling kit to a truck with a leveling kit on it...

Ergo, this truck ESSENTIALLY already has a leveling kit.

Default Leveling

The truck appears to have a rake towards the front... I agree it is higher then most standard 4 wheel drives... When talking to the dealer they found a aftermarket kit to fix this. Also Arrigo in S/Florida tried to raise a TRX4 and found out the kit did not fit. I am concerned about this, If I order the kit and it does not work will the dealer still charge for the kit and their labor....
With the new Outdoorsman coming out in 2011 do you guys think it will have the same setup as a TRX4? Or did I buy a truck that will always be difficult to modifly?
