Too Low!!!

Too Low!!!
I have an 04.5 3500 with the 5.9L Cummins. The rear end sits, without a load, and looks like a truck with decent clearance above the rear tire, but the front end sits too low and resembles a snowplow. Any suggestions on raising the front to equal the rear. I am not looking for a "high water" machine, just a leveling of the body. Thanks for your input!

you can get a leveling kit off ebay for pretty cheap just do a search for dodge leveling kit. It raises the front end 2" to match the rear, just remember to have a front end alignment done after you install the kit. Also if you do raise the front and then but a load in the rear it will then sag so just a thought?..

I agree that the leveling kits help alot. They raise the front just enough to give it a more aggressive stance without "jacking" it up.

Make sure that your truck if a 2wd does not fall under a recall for faulity front spring sag.Very few were affected.Get dealer to run vin for open recalls.Might have just been some 05s(not sure) but a few had issues.

Go with new front coils like I did. I had a set of coils custom made. $380 took an hour to install. Leveled the truck perfect. They added an 1.5" raise to the front and 900# to the rating of the spring for my snowplow. After it cut the tires I took it in to the dealership to align it under warranty.
