2" leveling kit and longer front shocks

After running my truck with 2" leveling kit for couple weeks, I have installed 30" long Rough Country Premium gas shocks. Factory shocks would top out occasionally when crossing speed bumps in parking lots. www.GoRowan.com/2004ram

I put Rancho 9000Xs all around and Rancho 5000 Steering Stabilizer when I had Daystar 2" Front Leveling kit and BFG 315/70R/17s added.

No problem with bottoming out or tire rub on or off road.

What kind of leveling kit are you running? Does it make the rear look like its squating with a trailer or load on it?

rear squat

Depending on what angle you look at my truck, --- it is mostly level. Although if you look at it from the side the top of the bed is still a little higher than the front end. Personally I like the fron of the truck taller. I am sure if you load down the bed it will look like it is squatting. Every Dodge I have had seemed to look more squatted in the rear than other brand trucks.
