Default Correct leveling kit poll

What size leveling kit do I need to level out my Ram?

I'm looking at these ( Thanks to 59 [:@]) They come in 1", 1.5" and 2"

HERE

Or shouldn't I bother?

Mayfair, I've heard those leveling kits that just contain spacers can give your truck a rougher ride. It's a more expensive option, but the only one I would install on mine is a Kore HD Leveling Kit. It gives about two inches of lift.

You gotta remember who you are talking to here, the guy who was afraid to upgrade to IE 7 or Firefox, it took him FOREVER to give in and get a programmer, then I couldnt believe he is actually considering a leveling kit!!! 2 inches bro!

Park your truck on a flat surface and measure the distance from the lower lip of the front fender, directly above the front axle, to the ground. Then jack up the front of the truck until the measurement has increased by 1", stand back and look to see if you like the stance. Do this for a 1, 1.5 and 2" and see which one blows you hair back. I'm going with 2". Good luck!

I know I am in the extreme minority in this, but I voted for don't bother. I've never liked the leveled look cause to me, it always looks like it's squating in the rear. Then throw some weight on there and it the squat is really pronounced.

I mean no offense to the guys that have them, it's just my opinion.

I doesn't give it a rougher ride. It maintains the factory ride because you are useing the same factory springs.
Also mayfair, if you get spacers, get one made of SOLID metal like the Tough Country Spacers. The others are made of plastic and will wear and give over time. I have heard people complain about the solid metal kits making squeeking noises, but I have them and it is just as quiet as it was when I first got the truck.
