i did some searching around and it looks like you have maybe a 3in drop in the front and 4-5 in the rear, get the 2in shocks for the front definitely not sure about the rear

Hi all! New to the forum and have had my truck all of 1 month. 2002 Ram 1500, lowered with McGaughey's 2/4.5", plastidipped stock 20" rims, front/rear bumpers and grill. Looking to replace stock shocks with BT Nitro 2 drop shocks here in the near future. I'm riding on the stock bump stops up front though. Did you guys just cut off the old stop and replaced them with a shorter one? Anyways, couple of pics below from my phone. Comments and suggestions welcome.

Rear 2in shackles to level the rear. I have the same year truck on 24's lowered 2/4.5 on a 305/40/24. Imo if its not lowered it may as well be a donk lol. Post a pic if you can.

2In shackle should make it sit level like you want. Truck looks good! I like smaller wheels so you can go lower. I want my stock 20s back lol.
