did you get shorter shocks? when i dropped mine i didnt put the drop shocks on at first and it bounced like a caddy with hydros. but when i put the shorter drop shocks (Nitro 2 Drop Shocks) it rode perfect.
@501- got any side pics after it was lowered?

I lowered my 2008 Ram 2/4.5 a while back and recently got new rubber, and went with a 275/45/20, tires a little lower than I wanted but I own them now lol. Well, my questions semi lowered related. I need a way to get the miles and speedo correct. Will a Diablo programmer allow me to change the tire height to get this correct again?
