How did you make out with the oil smell?
What means did you use to bring the front up?
I love my Ram, I love my truck, I drive it everywhere, I have more fun that anyone just driving here and there..................someone should make that into a jingle, bet it would catch on.
Happy to say the oil smell is gone.
To raise the truck i used a 2" front leveling kit, similar to this.

^When you have 1 ton of shizzle in the bed that’s doesn’t mean the truck is lowered.
Those kits are hard on upper ball joints and front halfshafts, the increased height changes the working angle of the suspension, you will not get warranty on axle shafts or suspension parts with a leveling kit installed.....ask me how I know. Good call on removing them, just make sure to get an alignment after.
So just to throw in a GMC to the mileage mix.
2016 GMC Sierra All Terrain 4x4 ext cab 6' box, 5.3v8, 6spd, 3.08 rear end,
40,000km
Average since new 17.5L/ 100km ( I do tow 5500 lb cargo trailer on regular basis)
Best 100km average 10.2L/ 100km
This week my 100km average 30.2L/ 100km ( it hates towing on the hwy 401 with these gears) yes 105km/hr
Love the truck overall
Hate the gear ratio, I should have made sure I bought with 3.73 not 3.08
Hate the condition of my white painted front bumper after one year, I should have wrapped in clear
