Thanks for taking an interest in my post -

I have owned a few Dodge Rams over the years and never changed anything. For some
reason I have decided to put forth an effort and customize a few items with my newly
purchased Dodge. I wanted to ask for your thoughts on my current issue.

I want to level the truck but not by raising the front. I wish to drop the rear. From what
I have measured, I need to drop it 2 inches to make it sit level. I did some searching and
saw that Belltech sells new hangers for $89. Am I going about this the right way? Here is
a picture of the item I am looking to use for lowering my truck...


Here is the stock hanger...




And here is my truck...




It's a 2008 1500 SXT. I didnt like the 08 wheels so I swapped them with the 07's. I added a ********
bed cover and tow mirrors. I need to do something with the front clip, looks too stock. Any thoughts
on my lowering project is greatly appreciated. I hope the images are not too big

Thanks again for reading --- Dave

 

its pretty low to begin with...if you want to level it...i thought you could possibly do 1" lift in front and 1" drop in the rear

 

If Your Going With The Lowered Look - I'd Say Thats The Way To Go.

2" May Create The Baja Look - Nose Up

 

The reason why I want to lower the rear is make the truck sit level. I did the tape
measure routine and calculated a drop of 2 inches in the rear will make it sit level.
I don't want the baja look, and 2 inches will not cause this. I guess you can't tell
from the perspective of the picture too well. I don't like the huge opening in the
wheel well of the rear. Leveling it will close some of the gap.

Thanks -

 

Then Go For It.. Sounds Like You Made Up Your Mind

 

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.

 

nice!! welcome to the forum! a lowered truck would be sick!!! keep us posted. and those pics are the right size. keep em big. theyre gonna start complaining if theyrs small. lol. enjoy this site! plenty of helpful peeps here. by the way, where are you from? i see cali plates... right?

 

As long as you aren't hauling 1,000 lbs of rock in the bed you will be fine.

yeah that sounds like the right way to go for what you want...and welcome to the forum, got a great looking truck and be sure to post some more pics when you get it lowered in the rear...have a good one

 

Your tires and wheels look like you got them in the Hot Wheels aisle at Toys R Us. They look TINY.
