Lowered Trucks: tech and info....
I think what happened was the tailpipe was resting on the leaf spring. Do you guys think that would cause vibration in the cab? I took out the ride-rite helper bags and now the truck sits right and there is no vibration. The bags were just too tall to fit between the axle and the frame.
This is the Air bag setup I used. One call to them and it was at my door in 48 hours. I had a problem with a fitting and was taken care of within hours.

i have been looking for a 2/4 drop for my truck. i just found ground forces part number: G379859. they say it fits 08' dodge ram 1500 quad cab 2WD. i was just wondering if anybidy else has lowerd thier 08 ram? if so, what kind of drop did yall use? thank you!
OK, so I got the vibration back today. I guess the other 3 hours I spent Sunday trying to fix it was for nothing. After more research today, I realized that I installed the axle saddles backwards. I believe I have the offset holes toward the rear of the truck and they should be towards the front. Guess I'll be ripping apart the rear end again. Fun! I was hoping I could install the spindles on my next day off. With this much practice, I think I can have the rear end ripped apart in about an hour.
Ok .. Ihave been looking to level/lower the rear of my daughters 2002 slt 1500. I went to purchase shackles ..... but was toled that i also needed hangers .... what's that all about? I have no idea. I only need 1.5 to 2" of lowering.
all you need is these...http://moesperformance.com/index.php...Path=1_26_1172 id use the mcgaughys they are a great product...i don't know who told you you need hangers but...i have drop shackles and no over leaf so i sit perfectly level....hopefully soon ill be a 2/4 drop....in all honesty the shackles will only give 1.5" thats why i went thru the removal of the o/l leaf to get a full 2"....and mcgaughy's will get you closer to 2" than most other shackles....
does anybody have anything to say about the mcgaughys 2 4 drop with the springs, not the spindles? I want to get this drop and its in my price range, but not if it doesnt do the job. I can spring for the drop with the spindles in a few months, but the 360 tag at stylin trucks the one with the springs is a pretty nice price.
