After xmas is over been thinking about installing a leveling kit and new tires on my rig.The set-up I am looking at is Rough Country kit w/a 4 Nitto Terra Grappler 295/ 70 / 17. Any thoughts. After kit is installed my thoughts are to have a alignment down to avoid the death wobble issue

Thanks for your thoughts

Jeff

 

Go with Carli or Kore and never look back.

 

Alignment is necessary. I didn't know death wobble was cause by that...thought that was a RAM thing lol

The alignment will help those new tires wear nicely. Otherwise in a few months you would have a crappy set of uneven treads lol

 

My hatred of leveling/lift kits reaches beyond the depths of hell..... but I do have to agree with Bushusmarine. After seeing a few customers spend quite a few $$$ trying to rid of death wobble, the leveling kit offered by KORE has had positive results from what I've seen. Seeing them run what they sell on Dodge Rams has to be worth something.

 

I have the tuff country leveling spacers. I picked them up for $50 bucks new. Installed myself and have over 100k on it and never had a problem. I have had the 295 terra grapplers, and they worked great, one of my favorites. The stance was really nice with the leveling kit. Of course, if you can swing it, go for Kore or Carli, but if you are just looking for the stance, the tuff country is the way to go. Never had death wobble issues with my truck, thank God.

 

I've got a set of 2" leveling spacers at work destined for the dumpster I removed from an 06 this week. I NEVER recommend products to customers, but rather refer them to manufacturers that I've seen others have positive results with.....KORE leads the opinion pole in that catagory. The last three that have gone the KORE route with the progressive spring leveling kit raved about the ride difference over the 2" spacer....and the loss of the death wobble. I was leary for a bit, but a couple have gone over a year with no issues. The latest truck we removed the 2" spacers from the guy had changed tires, shocks, went to Carly ball joints, steering stabilizers, aftermarket track bar. So far he's very happy with the set-up.

 

Kore, Carli, and dont forget Lorenz. Pick one of these kits as stated and you acctually gain performance. Blocks are cheap and in my mind you get what you pay for.

 

Never had death wobble issues with the current set up in my sig below, would agree with Rye, ditch the blocks and get a set of springs, worth the money unless you plan on lifting higher in the future.

 

Ya'll are making me rethink my choices!!

 

When I do mine I plan to get kore springs... I don't like to do things twice, so if it saves me a potential head ache down the road I'm all for spending the extra cash.

 

dont know what everyone is talking about. had 2" spacers for going on 6 years, never had a problem. maybe im just lucky. and i tow my toyhauler all over the east coast.

 

Many people have had good luck with blocks, might have something to do with the material they are made from, poly or metal. Yours I believe are metal. Spring kits are my personal preference and also what I would recommend when someone asks for advice, there is good and bad in each.

 

Go with Thuren or Carli. There is no comparison on the R&D, quality, ride and customer support from these guys.

 

Agreed! I'm running Kore's VR springs which work real well with one exception: the driver's side is now 1.25" lower than the passenger side. The installer contacted Kore and they seem to think it's the truck's fault.

 

Carli would be my choice for a leveling kit. KORE would be second but customer service is the WORST, and I would never put Lorenz on my truck.
