kore leveling springs
 
ok so i have a 2500 ram slt larime supposibly the heavy duty 1. it has the helper springs in the rear n wat not. it does not really apply 2 this jus so u have an idea. but im puttin in the kore leveling springs. now i have a spring compresser but the things is on the new springs my compressor can only grab ahold of 1 rung if thats wat u call it. so i can mayb get an inch to an inch and a half compressed. now i work in a shop n i had a gas job 1500 in the air and i noticed that with the supension completely stretched u could grab the springs n move em a little. not much to get them out. now is it the same with the diesel. i have a feelin im not that lucky but who knows. and my last question is with the 3 inch kore leveling springs are they the same height as the stock ones. like if you sit them on the ground are they the same height. tryin to determine if the kore spring is just a stronger spring or if its jus taller? thank you

The coils are longer, they are called progressive coils or variable rate coils which are softer on top and progress to stiffer on bottom. They allow a much more comfortable ride. But are just as strong if not even stronger then stock coils. As far as getting the stock ones out you can use your coil compressor with out much trouble. I have also seen guys who use ratcheting straps to compress them as well.

Unbolt the track bar from the axle and you'll gain some well needed inches in droop...

Good call my friend. That will def help you out.

I like the sound of this progressive tension, If I may call it that. I have stock coils with 2.5" coil spacers, the ride is less then desirable. If I read right, the Kore's are the same height just offer a smoother ride. Correct? Could they be used in conjunction with my coil spacers as well?

This will help you out a lot... It might give you a little trouble going back in, you should be fine tho.

Nah... Just drop the truck back on the ground with the bar back in place and move the steering wheel one way or the other to line the axle up with the hole :)

Here are the two options I found that would be viable options. The second more cost efficient.
