I got mine from these guys. 15000 miles no problems. I would suggest changing shocks though I overextended one hunting this fall. Makes quite a mess.http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/dodge4_03diesel.htm

You really need to get the front re aligned any time you change something on the front end.If you take it after the leveling kit is installed it will be out of align.Also front shock are really a must your raising the front i went with bilstiens .I used the steel pucks the first time i did mine and i took those out and went with the skyjacker coil springs they are alot nicer than the steel spacers. http://www.jackit.com/springs/images/skyjacker_coil.JPG

john deere,I think they were topgun.(its been awhile)do a search on here and you will find them.thats how I found them.
and why do you say I really need alignment and shocks Budsowner? no tire wear,pulling to one side or anything else.If everything is right what will happen without an alignment and shocks?

I had the DayStar 2" spacers put on by a 4 Wheel shop, part of the installation was sending it to front end shop for alignment(Lifetime). This was through the dealer aftermarket mods department. I had 315s and Rancho 9000Xs put on shortly after. Over 36,000 miles now and tracks straight with no hands on the wheel at any speed.

Bud, why did you switch from the spacers to springs?
I just put the top gun customz spacers in ($84 shipped to me) and it rides ever bit as good as stock and I actually think that the buckshots ride better too.
