2" leveling kit suggestions
I added 3 springs in the rear and now my headlights are pointing down.The dealer said there isn't an adjustment for up or down so a leveling kit makes sense.I need a suggestion on which ones are the best.

I run bilstein 5100's on my ram. No issues and the ride is better than stock.

The ride is soo much better than stock and you don't have to use blocks that are going to mess with geometry. I was shocked at how soft and pliable the stock shocks were.
The Bilsteins would compliment the extra leafs you added in the rear for firmness.

Usually if you lift a truck the front gets more lift than the back.

I have Revtek's in 2 different Dodge 2500 and 3500. Part #702, should run you just over $200, 2" of lift in the front, there are heavy duty front springs that will achieve 2-2.5" of lift but they run about $340 a set.

shocks wont do it you have to get a coil spacer. recommend beefier steering stabilizer and trac bar to conteract dodge's death wobble .google it,it may save your life.

SS does nothing but mask the issue. Better tracbar and making sure the joints are tight/holes arent wallowed is the best bet.

I did a 2 inch hellbent steel level kit with new bilstien 5100 shocks on the front and back as well as a steering stabilizer and upgraded track bar. 2015 ram 2500. I have really liked it so far.

Ready lift makes great kits with all the necessary brackets to maintain factory suspension geometry

Also add an alignment after steering and suspension modifications. Death wobble is a nasty one.
