Hey guys I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 and I am tired of it having rake, I found these shocks on the internet and I am wondering if they are good. they are called "2 Front Pro Runner Adjustable Shocks and 2 Rear Pro Runner Monotube Shocks" and they are $360 on 4wheelparts.com. I am wondering if these are good or if I need to just get spacers. I wanted to keep my stock handling. I use my truck a little bit, my dad has a dodge 3500 but it has a 100gallon fuel barrel in it and so we use mine, I do tow a 6x12ft fourwheeler trailer sometimes. I am also thinking of getting some helpersprings so it doesn't squat when I throw something in the bed. We went to lows one time and had 13 80lb bags of concret and 20 boards for a porch and my low beams were high beams and my high beams made it look like I was **** hunting, it was shinning in the tops of the trees. My truck is 2wd so no offroading besides some dirtroads. What would be the best bet, I drive it every weekend and am hopefully getting my license this Friday cause it snowed on my birthday, the first time in 2 or 3 years, and the soonest appointment was a month and I don't want to do any thing to affect my handling. :smiley_thumbs_up:

I have read a lot of that to but I don't think the 5100s are for 2wds.

Ok, I googled the torsion keys and it says it is only for 4wd. Here are the adjustable shocks http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/2-Front-Pro-Runner-Adjustable-Shocks-and-2-Rear-Pro-Runner-Monotube-Shocks.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=90&t_pt=3306&t_pn=s%2fdshockingzxcombo&utm_source=google&utm_medium=froogle&utm_campaign=product&emlprox=out&ppcfon=1&gclid=CIy5yJ6Nib0CFRJo7AodQWAAyw

I also just found this http://truckprousa.com/i-6280858-ro...pension.html?gclid=COiG0K6Mib0CFRQS7Aod8h4AUA will they work, it just looks like a spring. Or should I do a spacer and what kind of spacer, polyurethane, aluminum, or metal and what is a good price range for a good spacer. I was thinking $70 to $200. Thanks for the help so far.

Ok, Do you know of a good brand that sells the metal ones? I have only found 2 or 3 and they were very high. Also wat about the thing that rough country has, it looks like all it is is a stiffer or longer spring.

Ok, thanks, I am thinking of getting this http://www.roughcountry.com/dodge-leveling-lift-kit-7578.html it looks like it is metal. It is only $78. Thanks for the help so far guys.

By shocks, do you mean shock absorbers or longer springs? Also I read that you can get dodge 2500 shocks and they are the right length for 2 inch level, that is the same year, 2wd, and regular cab, correct?
Edit: I found these http://www.4wheelparts.com/Lift-Kits-Suspensions-Shocks/4-Pro-Comp-MX-6-Six-Way-Adjustable-Mono-Tube-Shocks-with-4-Black-Shock-Boots.aspx?t_c=1&t_s=90&t_pt=3306&t_pn=S%2fDShockingMX6 since they are adjustable, can I raise them when I tow a trailer or haul something so my truck doesn't squat. Do you guys think they will work with a 2wd?

 

[2drsbram]

Ok, and what height spacer do you think I need? I was thinking a 2 inch, but I jacked it up and it was like 3.5 inches, but I think it would be different with the shock being tucked under the truck and on the moving a arm, so 2 inch or 2.5? Also would it be better to get extensions for the stock shocks, shocks for my truck but for a 2 or 2.5 inch lift or get bilstein or rancho 9000 shocks for the 2500 hemi?

 

[2drsbram]

Anyone else?

 

[2drsbram]

Thanks, will the 3 inches not be to much, I just want to level it and don't want it to look like its about to take off. And are they 299 a pair or for one? I found these on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-08-Dodge...Spindles-/281127479186?_trksid=p2054897.l4275 it seems legit?

What size of a spacer do I need, I don't really want any rake? I was thinking 2 but got it jacked up and measured and got 2.5? I don't want to do spindles, I don't have 700+ dollars to spend, and the cheap ones have some bad reviews.
