Leveling kit questions
#1

If your Dodge has a factory 5 inch block, try putting in a 3 or 4 inch block instead of lifting up the front.
Leveling kits are all fine and dandy until the day you load up your truck or put that heavy trailer on and it puts the nose in the air! I now prefer mine with a little rake to it.

Both Kore Suspension and Skyjacker(theirs are the D25 coils) have coils that will level out the front end.
You could use the spacers from about any of the major suspension companies to do the same.I prefered the Skyjacker coils as they cost as much as the spacers did when I did them.
Karls03 has a point if you tow alot and want to level.On mine after leveling the front and seeing it in photos from some shows afterwards I did NOT like the look at all.It then looked like the front was a tad higher and it annoyed me.So what did I do,instead of removing the coils as I had gone to the longer shocks and a double shock mount up front,I raised the rear 3 inches with the addition of one more ply of spring.It then put the finished product sitting like it was from the factory again(about 1" higher in the back than the front) and had the truck up enough for plenty of clearance for the 315's.It still sits and rides that way today some 3 years later,1 inch higher in the rear than the front.
Remember when you level the front end also to place a tube on your A/C drain so the water continues to drain out and does not blow back into the truck and soak the floor.This is a common problem of a leveled/lifted truck and is overlooked by many.
