I have a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. For a while I've wanted to get it lifted, or at very least get a leveling kit. But I have decided that I want to go for speed instead of size. Instead of raising the front to make it level, what if I lowered the rear? Can I do this? I think it would give it more of a sleek fast look. It is white and I'm eventually going for a black and white theme (blacked out headlights, black/alloy rims, dark window tint) any other ideas for that part as well? Thanks in advance!

I was think of doing the same thing, as I don't do any off-roading. But I do haul stuff on occasion, so my question for anyone, does putting in drop shackles reduce the amount of weight you can carry in the bed? Also, I forgot this before, but when installing the shackles, is there anything else that you need to buy or anything that needs to be done? I'm just wondering since I know when you install a leveling kit for the front, you need longer shocks and have an alignment done.

I also have a white truck. I have the white and black theme going on. I have the black headlights, 15% tint all the way around, black taillights. Next is black rims. But im not sure if I want to low or level the truck.
