Thumbs up

Thanks for all the good info. I had been eyeing those overload springs but was not sure how much work would be involved to remove them. I don't need overloads. This is a 2X4 truck that doesn't haul anything much heavier than a few 2X4's. I just added a hard tonneau (Undercover) to have room to put our stuff on long trips. I don't plan on too many changes on this truck. I've done all that a long time ago and don't want to change it much anyway. I like everything about it except the ride height, which I will fix soon. BTW I drove a Gen 4 Ram quad for a week last year when this truck was in the body shop after a lady destroyed her F-150 when she hit the back of this tough Ram. The Gen 4 really has a lot of different features inside. The seats were about the same I guess. Nice trucks.
Thanks again y'all.

DE, Please save this post and look at it in six months or a year. It always starts with a mild itch, "I'm only going to to drop it a couple inches". Then the fever sets in, ahhh, I need it to sound a little better. The CAI will improve the gas mileage. Well you'll get the idea. Don't get me wrong, This is all great fun! enjoy.....

I just got my 2" mcgaughy's drop shackles from moes performance yesterday. Plan on getting them on today. I'm also tired of the bumper in the middle of the chest game.

I guess no one new ever comes on here. Maybe if it was a little easier to find any thread you are looking for. Is that your job?
We are all talking about Rams. I slammed a Ford Ranger in 1992. That doesn't help me to know how to drop a Dodge.
