What is the best leveling kit to get?
 
I was looking at leveling kits for Dodge trucks and noticed that they had the spacer kind, and they had the kits that are actually worth a crap.

With no money spared, and buying a good quality kit, what is the one that I am looking for?

I mean, as opposed to a cheap daystar spacer kit or something like that.

I have had my "cheap" Daystar 2 inch kit for almost a year and a half with no problems. Of course my 2wd dually never goes off road, but as a highway cruiser, I am very happy with the results.

Im not saying its a bad kit, I have a friend with the daystar though and he recommends getting the coils rather then the spacers.

He's had the kit since '06 without a problem. They are just spacers, so its not like they are gonna mechanically fail, I would just rather spend the extra money and get coils.

KORE...The Best!
 
I have the KORE Heavy Duty level kit and could not
be more pleased. Add four Bilstein 5100's and the 35" tires
of your choice and you're rockin!
Good Luck!

I just got done installing a 2 inch spacer kit with 4 bilstein 5100 shocks and so far I'm happy with it will have more info after I get some more ride time on it.

The best level kits are the ones that do more than just level the truck. The best kits take the next step by improving the ride and addressing the issues associated with "level kits".

Hard to help you....not knowing what yr, model truck you have.......... or where your located!
If in USA I would recommend longer CSS springs for a lifted frt end. These are not seriously expensive, They just need your spring PN's (drivers & passengers) and an idea of desired stiffness.

I went with the Lorenz leveling kit. 6% springs with blistein 5100 shocks. I also added bilsteins to the back and the ride is a lot better than stock. I went with the springs due to adding ranch hand bumper. No regrets with this package. Turned out great.

X2. No alignment issues or other problems with the Lorenz kit and the four Bilsteins.

X3 on the Lorenz kit. Truck has a more nimble feel to it and better balance front to rear without feeling too stiff.

KORE for $335 is tough to beat

Next up, the ones on ebay that are like $80 or something
