Not leveling mine. I like its ride and stance. With a trailer hooked it sits level so I'm leaving it.

The thuren coils seem to be a great option around $300. Otherwise there are many spacer kits out. I was going to level mine but it sits so nice and doesnt rub with the new tires.

Just an FYI not too many companies have come around to the new radius arm suspension. You can put a spacer in but the spring will look all bent and whatnot. I think Carli is making radius arm drop brackets so that the spring will sit strait. just something to ponder I guess.

It rides great so I have no problem spending some extra to keep the geometry right.

From what I gather, the arc in the coils is engineered by Ram for ride and stability. The Daystar spacers work and you can use the 2012 Ram Bilstein 5100's from what I hear. All hearsay as I have yet to do one! Ride should be nice on that setup though.

I've been wondering but to lazy to stop at the dealership and look, are those wheels aluminum or just simulators?
And are there any air ride kits for the front? That might be a better leveling route to go than spacers or longer springs?

I did the daystar 2 inch spacer and bilstein 5100s on my 13 ccsb and it rides better on and offroad then factory in my opinion. Im also running a 35 1250 18 tire on stock wheels and there is no rubbing at full lock, hitting driveways, or with slight articulation. Looks great too, feels really tall tho. It's taller then my buddies 2008 ccsb with a 4 inch lift with 35s. It took the tire shop longer to mount and balance the wheels and tires then it did for me to install the leveling kit and shocks. Im more then happy with it. Rear 5100s are in the near future as well.

These trucks already ride great with the coil rear. Bilsteins don't seem like a must, but i'd like to throw on a set eventually.
