Sorry for my ignorance (first time RAM owner), but what do I need to do to level out my truck? I hate how the front is lower than the rear. Thanks in advance.

StreetRays CNC Billet 2.0" Front Leveling Lift Kit, they are "top hat" spacer that goes on top of your coilover and raises the front to level.

Thanks! Do you have a link to them? Do you happen to have these on your truck? Was hoping to see a picture of a before and after. Also is it a hard install?

Google can help with finding them, lots of people make them as well, not just StreetRays, but that is what I found to be the best value & quality when I purchased them, so yes, they are on my truck. "Hard to install" is subjective, for me, it wasn't too bad, about 3-4 hours or so with power tools. I don't have any before/after type pics, but below is my truck after, you know what before looks like.

Thanks! Looks awesome. Was there any difference in the ride after you had them put in? My truck right now rides so good and smooth. I'm afraid messing with the suspension will change that. Also are those stock wheels? 20"? Thanks again

It gets a little stiffer but it’s not bad at all. I feel like it needs it as I felt like the factory shocks were under dampened.

IMO - just leveling it won’t look “right” without some bigger tires on.

After 2” level with stock tires:

With 34.1”:

What size tires are on your wheels?

Add 2in lowering springs to the rear. Much and quicker cheaper and you don’t have to pay for an alignment.

That’s what I did at first. Wish it would have worked out well for me but it didn’t. I would have still have my truck like that and wouldn’t have spend the money on the lift, alignment and new tires now.

Is yours lowered or did you just do the lift kit in the front to level it out?

A leveling kit will most certainly alter your riding experience, in my opinion. I had a 2” Readylift top hat spacer installed on my ‘19 and hated it for two years until I traded in and spent extra money for Fox 2.5 coilovers. Best decision I ever made as far as ride quality. Just my two cents.

How did the hat spacer make the ride? Meaning it was more bouncy?
