Review on ๐Ÿ” Supreme Suspensions - 2" Front Lift Billet Aluminum Strut Spacers (Black) for Dodge: Ram 1500 4WD (2006-2020) and Dakota 2WD (2005-2011) by Robert Tirona

not easy to install if you live in the rust belt.

This alignment kit only takes about 2 hours if you are from stainless Florida or Texas. but if you're about the rusty strap, you're screwed. I live in Pennsylvania where we use a lot of road salt and brine in the winter. This work took me about 8 hours. Luckily, I already had plans to swap out the lower link assembly and stays. When I removed the front struts, I found that the bottom bolt in the strut was firmly welded to the bushing in the forearm. Thinking I could just leave the post attached to the wishbone, I tried loosening the 2 bolts coming from the frame through the lower control bushings, but they were also completely rusted. I ended up having to cut the bolt that went through the socket on both the threaded side of the bolt and the head side of the bolt and pull it out of the frame. My advice is if you live in the rust belt and want to straighten your truck, be prepared to spend money on new stays and lower arms. the screws for the lower wishbones are also special adjustment screws that I only got from the dealer. Each screw was 24 plus tax and it took me 4 of these to do both sides. In the end, just those screws cost $100. the truck leveled well, but it was bumpy and took a lot of work to do. Be prepared for all of this when your truck is rusty. My truck is 08 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 for reference only
