are you sure thats a 4/6 because on my 02 its the same hight but mine only a 2/6 drop and also it depends on what the front drop was done need more details like did you do spindal drop or just cut coils off

Cut a loop and a half out of the coils and took a leaf out of the back and put shackles on

Default My Dilemma

Replaced rear shackles with 2" drop shackles and also removed the helper spring but still sitting at same height as before. Changed the sway bar to neutral position thinking this was holding it up but still no luck. Any one have a suggestion. Only other thing holding her up is the shocks.

Question Lowering of 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab

What would be the best approach to lower/level a 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab. I have 17 inch tires. Should I get 20 inch tires/rims or should I lower it by purchasing a lowering/leveling kit. Thanks.
