Do I need new shocks or springs to install this?

The kit uses your existing springs and shocks — spacers simply compress the spring perch. If your shocks are worn or near the end of their service life, consider replacing them at the same time for best results.

Will this affect my truck's payload capacity or towing?

Leveling kits don't significantly reduce payload. Your truck's GVWR and towing rating remain the same, but always verify with your owner's manual or contact Dodge directly for specific load concerns on your model year.

What tools and hardware do I need to install this?

Standard suspension tools (jack, jack stands, socket set, spring compressor) are required. The kit installs at factory mounting points, but you'll need to confirm whether new fasteners or additional hardware are required — many installs reuse OEM hardware, but a pre-installation check is smart.
