Default Lowered 2003 Dodge Ram

I just lowered my 2003 Ram with Hotchkis Performance TVS Kit. This kit replaced the whole suspension and added a rear sway bar. Kit includes (Leaf springs, Coils, Bumpstops, front swaybar, rear swaybar and 4 bilstein shocks sold seperate) It made the truck 2" lower in the front and 4" in the rear. It handles much better with the rear swaybar added. Here some pics, i'm getting 24"wheels by the end of the year. let me know what you think

it looks like that the rear is lower but i measred from the floor to the wheel well, and i measured 32" front / 33"rear after lowering it. The kit basically made the truck sit level.

stock measured 34" front / 37.5" rear.

s1s, dropped mine 2.25 in tha front 4 in tha rear, the front was a 1.50 coil cut,and reailigned at a local midas shop and had belltech nitro drop shocks added, the rear consisted of a flipkit with factory oem dodge springpad seats, which made a 4 inch drop then he added a longer to shackle to lower it a little more, the factory shackles would of dropped it 6inches but s1s drop pick smoothed it out, check my pics out on this forum in da gallery, it looks mean as hell, oh as for dropping it 3 in the front hard to do with a new control arm or a new spindle, thats my next thing im doing, i want a 4, 6 drop so i got to get a 2 inch drop spindle added with my 2inch drop coil, oh by the way s1s realigned my drive shaft after the drop which actually smoothed out the ride
