Or even find some brackets that are made for that type of bag. I've seen them before, just not sure where to look.
Yea I didn't think they would work with a drop. I may decide to ditch the bags and drop it eventually but for right now i'm leaving it as is.

I was tired of looking for a used one so i just got one brand new from the dealer. I paid $600 for the hood and then you have to buy the scoop part which is a total rip off at $200. And then I just had it painted at the body shop I work at which was basically free.
Is is fully functional? For that kinda money Ill just have to keep my eyes opened for either one thats already painted flame red, or do the scoop like the rumble bee's have

Yes it fully functional. You buy the hood and then you have to buy the scoop/grill insert piece. There are two inserts, one for the daytona Rams which is not functional and one for the SRT-10 Rams which is functional. You have to tell the dealer you want the scoop for a SRT Ram if you want it to be functional.

I didn't want to get black lugs cause they would get scratched up to easily.

I may just order some drop shackles and see what that does since they aren't but 50 bucks. Only thing is i dont think the bags will compress any. With only 5psi in them they are really hard so idk.
