first off im about to purchase my first dodge diesel, it is a 2004 2wd four door and my question is should i buy the 2 inch level kit or 2.5 inch kit...i just dont want the front to be higher than the back or vice versa...any input appreciated!

 

Only go 2".

Any more than that will put the nose high on a 2WD.

 

If it were a long bed would 2.5 be appropriate and not have front higher thanback

 

The bed length doesn't make any difference.

The only thing the bed length does is make the truck APPEAR to have less front to back rake.

 

Was just curious would this put a strain on front end components putting a 2" for leveling, make it harder to turn?, rough riding etc.... I'm out of warranty on my 2005 5.9 QC 2x4 short bed, so that won't matter, just don't want to wear things out quicker than normal, will do some towing, also would I get more milage if I got the diablo sport tuner for the 5.9. Will I have to put on the bigger exhaust. I just want better milage and a make the truck last awhile, thanks

 

i have never seen any problems with the leveling kits, i have installed about 10 of them on rams, and dont see any more wear on componets than a stock vehical, if you use the spacer kit, it wont change your ride, they do make coils too but they will most likely ride a bit ruffer than stock

 

ive got a leveling kit and i dont notice a problem, its not like wheel spacers that add torque to your bearings, you should be fine.... go with a 2" bud!!
