Default lowering ur truck

Has anyone reading this lowered their truck, or in the market to do so?? I have an 03 standard cab 2wd that is lowered in a kinda funky way--2 in. front (coils)and 6 in back(flip kit). I think it looks good slightly slouched back like that, personally.

Anyone else?...just curious. What parts did you use, brands, etc.

Yea... I would like to see some pics!

For the most part though, I hate it when trucks ride with the back end sagging[:'(]....

I could care less if the rear was sagging, especially if it was sagging due to the weight of 15 naked chicks.......

Yay naked chicks....

yeah I lowered my truck back in January...i did a 2/4" drop by McGaughy's that I bought on ebay....it's new coils (like yours) but it's only a 4" flip kit...it's been really good with the exception of a few problems....which are: the new bumpstops suck (the pads fell out so theres no more bumpstop), the exhaust hits the axle when you go over a decent bump, hitting the bumps tends to make things come loose (such as the inner wheelwells on the rear of the truck).....

but other then that it's been a great thing for me, really nice and easy to get in and out of it and i think it looks good....dont see many lowered ram's around here so it's deffinitly a change to see one

forgot to mention i got some pics in my gallery...it may look like it's not lowered that much, but also remember i'm not using the stock GY's....i'm running a 295/45/20

...I used McGaughy's flip kit and drop spindles...I then cut half a coil up front to drop another inch... it's the exact stance I want (3/4 drop) .. I was gonna go lower but I started takin my truck to the track and like the stance I have...

HAHAHAHAHAH!

But that isn't what I meant... I don't like a truck with a saggin rearend when there is nothing in the bed..

I really like the way that chefred112 and hemiyellow's trucks sit! Some day I am going to lower my truck...
