Well I can anser all of your questions.

Yes you can get 2" drop shackles for the rear to make it level. I have them.

For the cold air intake go with a Ram Hammer. Best bang for your buck.

Superchips 3815 is the best out so far.

Corsa exhaust is the best sounding system for the Hemi. IMO.

The rest can be found by googling. Or check the classifieds on here and the other sites.

lol, interesting post... You didn't say what year truck you have, if you have an 07, don't forget to check out the edge evolution tuner, if you don't have an 07 then Superchips is probably the way to go. Read up on the Cold air intakes, there are a bunch of them out there, and personally my opinion is they're a dime a dozen and don't really get you a great deal of gain for the money you spend on them.

what year, engine, trim, driveline is your truck?

for example, i have an 04 hemi(5.7L) slt 4x4 quad cab short box

that will determine what is and is not available for your truck. we can give you much more detailed feedback if you provide that one line of information.

id say the k&n cold air intake and flowmaster super 40 or 44 would be the best combo with a superchips. just my 2 cents though
