I would like to lower my 08 Ram. It is a 1500 Quad Cab 4x2. I am looking for some good ideas on good kits to lower my truck. It also would like to find some good ways to make a little more on the rigid side to take better corners and hug the road better. Any ideas would be helpful.

I am going to keep the stock rims and pain them black and then put on lower profile tires. i have the stock 20's. I think about 2 inches in the from and maybe 4 in the rear. I would like to make it level when it is finshed.

I think this is exactly what you're looking for. You probably can shop around for price, but this guys is also offering a discount to DF members. check out the thread i linked in the previous post.

Thank you. Hemiyellow what would be a good place to get a set of the SRT rims. What sizes do they come in and do you have to paint them or do they come black?
