I am wanting to level my truck out. Is there one leveling kit that is better than another. What would you recomend to run up to 35's or 315. Probally just going to keep 285's.

 

don't get a leveling kit get a set of d25 skyjacker springs i think they were $150 or 250 can't remember, my 315's do rub

 

PM member coRED and see if you can get some info from him. Coils from Coil Spring Specialties and Bilstien 5100's all the way around. coRED might have the part numbers, I don't have them handy.

I know he's pretty happy with the way his truck rides. Don't waste your time with the SJ D25's.....

 

cores are awsome but are around $500, i've had skyjeckers on my last 2 trucks with no problems their shocks aren't that great though

 

I don't know what the brand is, but I personally have metal spacers and love them. I think they're even better if you ever plan to get a lift kit, that way you don't blow even more money now on springs that you'll wind up not needing later. Leveling kits are pretty cheap. Anyway, here's a vote for the spacers.

 

i got the polurethane and i think their good, no problem slightly smoother ride.



Hey Aggie Trailcutter RT's are the best tire in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Poly will wear over time

 

hey do u happen to know how much those tires run in a 285 70 17

 

Probably gonna run you about $125 per tire, but that's just a guess. Your best bet is to call Treadways, find some dealers in your state, then call them directly.

 

I just added steel 2" leveling kit and love the new look. I don't like to go economy on anything doing with steering or front end! Did some research and found these... http://www.hellbentsteel.com/dodge/dodge-lift-kit.html
I had 285's. After the lift they really looked "stock". Looked like the 265's did on the truck when new.

My 285's tread was down to 2/32nds anyway, so I went with 315/75/16's Toyo A/T's. Moderately agressive tread but just as quiet as the Michelins I had. Like the ride...love the look! They do rub a little in full lock turns.

I'm leveled with a Daystar kit, Bilsteins in all four corners, and the 325 Toyo A/Ts (35/13). Love the stocky look with the tires, and they only rub at full crank. I've had no problems with this set up. But leveling does push the track bar slightly out of alignment.

 

The pics don't do justice for rjohnson's new tires. I saw the truck yesterday and they really look sharp......and BIG!

 

One of the lessons I learned after installing D25 springs was caster and camber. I had to max my adjustment on the eliptical cam to be even close to stock. After replacing my lower links with Skyjacker links, I was able to place the frontend forward in its stock location and keep the cam nearly centered. Anything greater than the leveling springs, I would also replace the upper links. Movement of caster and camber affects steering and tire wear. I attempt to keep this measurement within factory specs.

 

Say whaaaat?
