Considering a 2in leveler for the front of my CTD and wanted to know about your guys opinions. Any change in ride? Did you have to have the pickup re-alligned? And when under load was the front end TOO high due to the leveling kit? Thanks

 

I've had mine in for about 2 years now with zero problems.

It never went in for an alignment, abnormal tire wear isn't an issue at all. The ride is factory original, I used the leveling pucks instead of new springs.

As far as towing or hauling any kind of wieght, yes the rear sags a bit to give a nose up look but it's not to bad. Gives me an excuse now to drop a set of bags on the rear to level it the "other" way now.

Go for it, just in looks alone, it's worth it.

So I presume no problems with a death wobble at all?

 

No handling problems or alignment concerns... as long as you don't go over 2".
Stock Shocks still work well also, but if you want to get fancy, Bilstein makes a 2" longer shock... just for this.
Change in way your truck will look is amazing!

IMO, go with steel 2" Leveling Kit... as opposed to Neoprene. Reports are they hold up much longer...basically for the life of the truck. Excellent quality here... http://www.hellbentsteel.com/dodge/dodge-lift-kit.html

Had leveling springs on for 10 years. No death wobble. OEM length shocks have never "topped out". No alignment issues.

If you are a perfectionist and want to do it right, 2 small issues need to be addressed.

Leveling springs will pull your axle 1"+ over to the drivers side. In other words your axle won't be centered under the truck anymore. This does not help wandering issues. Fix: adjustable length track bar.

Leveling springs will pull the front axle towards the rear of the truck 1"+. In other words, your tire won't be centered in the wheel well anymore. You wouldn't notice it if you weren't looking for it. Fix: 1/2" forward upper & lower control arms.

 

I noticed this is all for 4x4's. Can anyone recomend a leveling kit for a 2WD 2500 (2007)? Are new controll arms required on the 2WD's?

 

You'll get much more input if you post in the 3rd Gen section,

Ahh yeah, sorry about that. Not sure how I wound up in this one.
