Default Lowering my QC on some 22 inch wheels

hello there.
i have an 04 dodge ram quad cab with a 4.7L
i wanna drop it. i remember when i first got the truck i was going to get a kit from slammed1.com but their website is down.
i want a pretty low drop maybe a 5/7 or a 4/6 drop (basically i want no gap between the fender and the tire or very little gap) with some 22 inch wheels. what tire size and drop combos are you guys rockin'? thanks in advance

i have a 3/5 sitting on 305/45 and i love the way it sits. if i went any lower i would need smaller tires. but i have a hemi and romp the hell out of my truck from time to time so i like the extra meat

Slammed1 isn't around anymore. He shut his doors. Too bad, he was a classy guy and was very helpful.

those drops are all nice. im looking for a high similar to oklahemi's maybe a tad lower but honestly thats just about right. Jarrod those wheels look great on your car and it sits real nice, i cant find a set of used srt10 wheels down here in miami AT ALL its so frustrating im going to have to go aftermarket and get some replicas. what suspension (or kits) did you have to install in your cars? brands? and how does it ride compared to before the install?

mine rides really nice now. when i first got it i had to cut off the bump stop because the truck was riding on the frame so it sounded and felt like sh*t everytime i hit a bump. i have a belltech 3/5. if you want to go a little lower there are tricks like using your stock shackles or playing with your over load springs. on the front you could get the drop spindles and then get some lowering springs too
