What components for a good level?

My first post!

I have an 18 Laramie that I want to level and improve the ride on. Carli or Thuren are the obvious choice and front springs with all 4 shocks and a track bar. The question is, swaybar? Any control arms, rear shocks, drop brackets?

Thanks!

Lose the front sway bar it makes the ride so much better

Really? I don't think that is the best option?
I have been doing for over 20 years on my rams a few others have done the same here, it makes a big difference especially if you dont stick to the highways…. You could run an aftermarket sway bar if you feel more comfortable its just preference the rear sway bar is still in place on all of the trucks i have and they have no ill effects i have found in 20 years of doing so

I would assume the body roll would be excessive?

at least on 19 factory swaybar sucks. just did a thuren. after reading this, wish i would've just removed it altogether for a bit. helz' recommendation is a solid one... i can feel the rear one now that the front one is replaced

I’m on the fence, I did the Traxda 1 inch front spacer. It’s not a full level but took enough rake out for me. The reason I’m on the fence is I started researching reverse level options. I really want to remove the spacer then airbag the rear (6.4 with coils). It’s the leap of faith for the money that’s holding me back. I’ve heard the ride is much improved on the bags as well.
