so I lost a leg in the army lately.
stuck here with my 2002 dodge ram 1500, driving a wheelchair.
the truck is way to high to enter with comfort.
normal seat height is about 40 inches, I would need 20 inches less.
Is it possible to lower the truck that much?
while parking, the truck could lay on the ground, but ive never seen an airbag-system that could go this low.
maybe I should change to something different, but I love my truck...

check out lowered ram trucks on facebook, you can get these trucks laid the eff out frame and all, then youll need your truck outfited for the wheel chair, there is a guy here in tampa with a brand new ram quad, he is in a chair also. he had his truck outfitted with a topper that lifts off to one side and has a crane to put his chair on the ground, hes lowered on 26s. what ever you want can be done just gotta pony up for the work. Im sorry for your loss, and thank you for protecting us. I salute you.

Default Camber and caster help

Hey guys I have an 03 quad cab 2x4
I bought the eibach pro drop kit for the
Truck that comes with front coils and rear
Leaf springs. Now My tires are slanting in
Causing me to ruin my front two tires. The
Mechanic I took it to says he can only do
The toe in and out because the camber is
Already all the way out so he can't adjust the
Screw any further. My tires are REALLY loud
On the street even after aligning the toe. Any
Suggestions please?

I got a 6cyl ST 2wd so my front sat lower than all the V8's did anyways so I put a set of DJM lower shackles on the rear and truck looks lower and it's almost level now.
