I want to level the truck. I don’t know what leveling kit to use. I was reading and saw people needing shock extenders and don’t know which ones to get. Any help would be appreciated

Can't go wrong with Belltech stuff.
Head over to their site, input your vehicle and it will show what you need.

Just a word of caution though.
Doing the 4" shackles and hangers is a royal pain in the butt. Especially the drivers side hanger due to the gas tank being there. Not saying it can't be done, but it's a bunch of work.
Loosening the gas tank straps and shoving it towards the passenger side for clearance will help immensely.

And if you do go that route, make sure you keep your stock hangers on a shelf somewhere, in case you want to do a 6" flip kit later on. Because you will need to reinstall them.

Thanks for the info, for now I just want a level it. Do you think spacers on the front would be fine? If I do that should I get shock extenders?

Yes, I want the front level to the back
Lol..... that's making a bit more sense.

I honestly don't know enough about that, I'm a lowered guy with my OBS. But have a 2" lift kit on my 2020 Ram, it used spacers front and rear and used the stock shocks.
The only shock extensions I know of for these trucks is when we lowered them to get a better angle.


Hear is a thread that discusses 2wd lifting.
