ya go for it. i think me and redram are just biased towards a lifted truck lol. i personally rather not see a dropped truck, to me it loses its point of being a truck. but if you want the 2" drop then go get it. post pics when youre done.

Maybe he isn't hauling. I would do it. I like the look of a raised truck as much as the next guy. But my first love was low riders. I think a lowered truck is pretty sick. I think thats a sweet set up.

Okay, here is the deal. I used to have a 7000 pound camping trailer. I owned a 1500 when I bought the trailer.
The 1500 would not tow it as I figured. The only thing I could afford was a F250 Super Duty Diesel. I got a
great deal. Since then, I sold the huge trailer and didn't need the F250 any more. I sold it and bought another
1500. I don't use a truck for "truck" puposes. I hardly ever tow so I don't need a V8. I got the V6. When I do
tow it's only with a 300 pound trailer to get plants and top soil. (I do small landscape jobs on the side) I didnt
need a 4x4. I live in California. It's always sunny here. No snow. I put the bed cover on it so my wife can stick
the baby stroller back there andthe groceries.
Having said all that. Everybody buys a truck for different reasons. It depends on how much truck you really
need, what you do with it. My main point with this truck is, I am saving money and I can still do "truck"
stuff.
To answer some of your guys questions... yes I do want to lower it but, I was just trying to know if I was
doing it the right way? I dont want to lower the front. Just the rear. So I am not looking for a complete
lowered look.
I am in California, Temecula. Just an hour north of San Diego.
The wheels and tires are smaller than 20's. Not too small. They are factory 17 inch wheels with BFG's.
I would like to put some 18's on there. I don't want 20's. The rubber price goes up when you upgrade
to 20's and your gas useage goes up as well. I think I am going to order the kit this weekend. Maybe
next weekend I can install it. I'll post a pic for those that asked.
Much appreciated on your time -
By the way, I am a Mopar guy but, I just sold my 69 Charger that took me 6 years to build. The wife
wanted to go back to school and we needed to pay for it some how. If only I could have kept my
600HP 440, RRR!
