2015 power wagon leveling kit

If it's about Power Wagons, all generations, this is where it'll go. This is the original PWR Forum Power Wagon Technical Discussion Section. And this includes everything that doesn’t fit in any one of the other categories related to the truck goes here!

New to the forum guys just coming over from the Cummins Forum - trading my 2014 Cummins for a 2015 PW. I've had a lot of trucks and modified most of them. I'd like to level as well but having just ordered the PW and with no truck in front of me to take any measurements, not sure there's much I can do until it comes in. My 2014 CC 4x4 Cummins had a 2" leveling kit to start off with and when I tried to get it aligned this time last year the shop did not have the specs so nothing was done. Shortly after I installed a Kelderman air ride system on all 4 corners and kept it riding at a level that was +/- 3" higher than stock in the front and 1" higher in the rear. I put over 22,000 miles on 35" Mickey Thompson ATZ P3's and only rotated one. The point i'm eventually making here is that the truck drove extremely well and has absolutely no uneven tire wear so I would not worry much about caster angle. I'm not saying it isn't important, I'm saying in my experience these trucks handle the slight change in geometry very well. I also noticed a previous post in this thread mention something about the different radius arm arrangement for the PW vs standard 2500's. From what I can see the different connection at the axle to radius arm for the PW will only make it easier to align the truck/have it ride right with minimal adjustment(s). Time will tell. Looking forward to modifications!

No control arms on 2014 and newer trucks. If you're referring to radius arms - no it didn't. The kit was 4 bags with top and bottom mounting plates for each bag. I purchased the compressor, valve and control kit separately. On another note I did stop by a local dealer today who had a PW in stock and took measurements for lift/leveling options. Rear was 2 - 5/8" higher than front so a 2" or 2-1/2" leveling kit would be perfect for me. Only problem is after pulling the bags off of my CTD this weekend to prepare it for trade-in, I noticed a big difference going back to coil springs and I didn't like it. I'm thinking about installing air bags on PW but will have to see how it affects axle articulation and max travel.

Finally got around to getting my leveling kit installed , after mths of looking for a manufacture of a kit for the 2015 pw I ended up getting a 1.5" kit custom made for my pw by truxxx.com . very good quality parts before level truck measured to the top of the wheel wells was 44" back , 41" front , after the level kit its now 44" rear and 43" front . sits perfect with still a minor rake that I wanted for payload . Boss air bags are going in soon . Got 100 plus kms on the kit so far truck rides as smooth as stock and handles great .

Yall might find this funny as well. I was fishing around for some info on 2 inch leveling kits. I came across Revtek's kits and had a simple question concerning shock extensions. The contact link goes directly to sales. (NOTE: Sales reps are not always the most technically informed.) I notified them that I had a 2015 PW and submitted my question. This was the response: "The Power Wagon comes with a 2” “spacer” from the factory in the front, so unfortunately our kit will not work. Both 713’s come with shock extensions." :doh:

If anybody knows where that stock spacer can be found...please let me know. :wink:
