Rancho front leveling kit

[JGblkLand]

Has anyone used a Rancho kit to level the front of their Ram? I've got an 01 2500 4x4 with a front end replacement on it that's about 4 inches lower in the front than the rear. I called Rancho the other day and they have 2 kits for this truck, RS6576 which is coil spacers and lower links and RS6566 which is spacers, lower and upper links, and dual shock brackets. I'd like to lift the front 2 or 3 inches and was checking if anybody had any experience with the Rancho kits. Thanks.

Got'em on my 96 2500 4x4 (coil spacers and lower c. arms). Hadn't had any troubles running 35's (slight rub), but the rear may have settled a bit causing it to "nose -up" a bit. It is a gasser (360) so it's quite a bit lighter in the front. Might go with a add-a-leaf spring in the back.

I had mine installed for my 99(#6476-single shock) and liked it, until I decided to get bigger tires--if your truck is a 4x4 it will allow 33" tires with no problem--if you're thinking bigger than 33" you probably would want to go to a lift kit, but for leveling the truck I don't think you'll go wrong with the Rancho kit--chris

be sure to get the right control arm bushings
Rams changed control arm bolt size on 00-01
soooooooooo doulble check for all the right sizes before installing, I had the frontend off before i realized i had the pre 00 bushing sleeves so we dont have the lower control arms yet, but the blocks are on I will put them on later

bottom line double check for exactly the right parts in the kit before you start

I called rancho on my 2001 to confirm availability and they said they needed to look at it (3-30-00) they came and took my truck for a week and brought it back fully outfitted with a 2inch lift kitand confirmed differeny bolt diam's for 01 i am running 315-75r-16's (35's) on 9. 5 inch rims had to experiment with different rims for proper backspacing to get it right had to trim fenders slightly but love the way it all works
