I have made the decision to lower my 2007 Ram 1500.

The main reason I want to lower it is because, as much as I love the Ram, it sits way to high for a 2 wheel drive. For me anyway.

But since I made the decision to lower it, I have researched it and I have really grown to like the look of the lowered Ram.

I think I have settled on the McGaughys 2/4.5 Deluxe Lowering Kit. This is a picture of the EXACT look I'm going for, and this is the same color and body style of my truck.



I do have several questions though.

First of all will I be able to leave the stock wheels and tires on temporarily until I upgrade? Currently I have those 20" wheels with 275 60 R20.

When I decide on wheels and tires, what size should I go with? Should I upgrade to 22" and if so what size tire?

Also, I love the newer model RT rims, will they fit a 2007 and if not does anyone know of something aftermarket that is similar?

These are the wheels I'm talking about.



Any advice and input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

 

I have a 2005 Dodge Ram Quad Cab and I want to lower the rear. My leaf springs are on top of my axle and I am considering putting them underneath. Would this be a good idea or not? Thanks.

 

I already got spindal and flip kit now I'm planning getting 2in coil, I've been told to get a camber kit I've seen some that's just bolts and also some that comes with bolts and brackets which one do I need

 

yeah i think changing spindles twice a year would suck. practice makes perfect. sounds like jonny is on the right track for what you want

 

Sorry so late answering this: Yes, those wheels will fit. Second, third, and fourth gen wheels are all 5x5.5.

 

Did you ever lower the truck I know it’s been a long time since you posted this and probably don’t have the truck now. But I currently dropped the truck and just want to know what supporting mods will I need.

 

Hey guys looking for info or ideas. Lowering my 2003 ram 1500 4x4. I'm flipping the axle in the rear but haven't yet but for the front I picked up the drop spindles from mcgaughys and it wasn't enough so I unloaded the torsion bars but I'm worried the ride is going to be garbage. Does anyone know of a place or website I can find lowering torsion keys? Do they restore ride quality? Or possibly front shocks with helper springs?

 

Lowering keys just re-index the keys. They do nothing for ride quality. Lowering the truck reduces suspension travel before it hits the bump stops, and THAT is what makes it ride horribly.

 

So basically unscrewing the bolts on the factory keys does the same thing?

 

Yep.
