I put 205 snows all of the way around and let me tell you it hauls ***. Off the line it is really quick, granted my mileage has gone down but not by much. It doesn't help my foot is to the floor all of the time. It has a new cat and no muffler. LOVE the sound and speed. So I guess to each his own. As soon as I get a pic I'll put it up. Dude lowered, higher they all look good, pick what you want and do it. Who cares what anybody else thinks as long as you like it.

I'm a little worried about the camber on lowering my 4x2
since I can't locate any drop spindles I take it camber is not much of an
issue with just drop springs.

I've never seen a Ram that's slammed with a chopped top. It all depends on how crazy you want to get. My idea might suck, but I doubt you'll be copying anybody. By the way, rice is great!

do what you like..if its raised then lift it. if you want to lower it then drop it. i have a 2wd as well and i love slammed trucks and lifted. i think im not going to lift mine how i thought and lower it a good amount and make it more street. just the look i want more i guess. i want a stockish lowered look i think.

but i agree with the rest who say do what you want. at the end of the day your the one who has to drive it everyday not them.
