Hi, I just picked my son up a 1998 2500 24 V Cummins, It has a level it appears ( and was told ) but it sits high about 1' over the rear. I am not looking to really keep raising the truck just want it leveled.



Add A Leaf? If so which do you recommend and any how to links?

1' Block added if so any links?

Do I replace the stock Block? if so what do I replace it with?

Air Bags?

Truck will pull different trailers from time to time and carry quads/Snowmobiles around.



Thank you and yes I have searched a ton.

 

Taller tires on the rear.

Seriously, if you are going to haul or tow, airbags are worth it....

Or depending on where you are, get the rear springs re-arced....

I figured Air bags would be the way to go, We used to have a great shop that made and repaired Leaf Springs but the gentlemen has retired.

 

My experience with fittings and road salts has been go with the plastic push-lock fittings over the all brass one's. Both sides corroded and leaked down my bags after about two years. The plastic swivel one's are still holding after putting them in in 2015...

Just a FYI if you go with bags and are in snow country...

So I was able to locate the owner who did the work to the truck, He said he used Thuren 2.5 inch springs on the truck and had them powder coated to color match the truck. I did measure and the truck actually appears to measure level, I don't think it actually is nose high but it sure does look it. I'll probably go with air bags any way for towing purposes.
