Default Sport Truck?

It seems everyone here is into lifting their trucks. Thats all fine and dandy...actually it is what I originally wanted to do but now with the cost of gas as well as the lack of power from my V6, I am looking into lowering it a little and maybe putting on some nice wheels.

Coming from the import scene I am not too sure which/what is the best method/products to use.

Any imput/advice/suggestions that will be constructive towards my goal are much appreciated.

leave the front alone...as droppign it anymore would look stupid in my opinion...unless you're one of those guys that like those trucks. take a load leaf off the back, and it just about bring it level with the front. get some 22's and have fun.

actually, another guy on these forums has the front of his truck lowered a bit, and it looks pretty good. he has wheel and stuff too though. he just cut the front coils to drop it. he says it's fine, and made it feel better/rougher (to basically not feel like a cadillac).

I am not planning on dropping it to the ground or anything. Maybe lower the front an inch or so...and bring the back down about level with it. Some 20's or 22's would be nice.

i dont what your talking about. They really fill up those wheelwells with some good looking chrome. Come on- whats nicer to look at, chrome or rubber? Besides on a ram, they look just like 20s on another truck. I have 22s on mine and i always think they look just like the 20s i see on fords and chevys.
