Default 2/4 drop on 2008 Ram 1500, any problems?

I am looking to have a leveling kit installed on my 2008 Ram 1500 4x2 and I was just going to level the rear 2 inches, but I also don't like how too much of the wheel well is showing for my front tires.

Has anyone experienced any problems with leveling their truck 2 inches in the front and 4 inches in the rear??

The rim/tires I have on the truck are SRT-10 22" rims with 305/40/22's on them.

Here is a some great picures from Slammed1 website of how what I am thinking about doing.

Thanks for the feedback!!

A guy on here has the same wheels, and a 2/4 drop, no issues at all, should be same tires too, maybe. Good luck, should look good.

He has 305/45/srt 22's, with no rubbing issues or anything, and it looks great.


Its HemiYellow's truck.

The link above is to a website that sells drop kits. No idea how good they are, though.

I installed the DJM kit on my '02. A flip kit and shock in the rear and replacement springs and shocks up front. I run mine with 22x9 rims with 305/40/22 tires no problem. If you have the cash, get an airride system.
