Default Anyone here use this kit to lower their ram?

I have an 05 that I'd like to lower the stance a bit. Not slammed, just even out the back and give it a "meaner" stance.

Would this kit do that for me? I'm a newb at suspension stuff...

thanks,

I think it only lower's the front of the truck though. I may be reading it wrong. 1.5 inches front and n/a for the back right?

Position: Front

Yup, that's kinda what I was thinking. Price point was too good to be true.

Yeha look at where it says position-front. You'd still need a kit for the rear.

So do you want it lower in the front only?

Nah, I'd just like the truck to sit level and maybe a little lower than stock.

I should have read the details of that linked kit closer before posting. Looks like SummitRacing has complete kits for front and back but they run upwards of $600.

So you just want to lower the front a back a bit or just the back to make it level?

you may want to try and lower the truck from the back by adding a lowering shackle i think they have some 2'' shackles some where but this is the first thing i found http://www.roughcountry.com/lowering...02-08_ram.html

its a 1'' lowering shackle for the back and its only 50 bucks but i don't think it will completely level the truck maybe a 2''
