I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 reg cab 2wd slt model. I am finally starting to upgrade and do things with it. So this thread has 3 serperate topis in it, take your pick on providing awesome info, lol. I have been researching these things below....

LOWER KIT - EIBACH LOWERING PRO TRUCK SYSTEM 2866.540

SUSPENSION - Iam not sure off, I guess I am asking here if I lower it about 1.5 front and near 4 in the back do I need to swap out to better shocks like bilsteins ???

BRAKES - POWERSTOP BRAKE KIT (4 DISC/8 PADS)

Please offer up some opinions. Thank you VERY MUCH.

 

Will move this to the 3rd gen section (2002-2008 Rams). Please read this.

 

I can't say anything about lowering, other than Eibach is a pretty well-known brand, so I'll let someone else chime in there.

Pretty much anything is better than the stock shocks.

The price for that powerstop kit seems a little steep. Does anyone know where to get the Brake Motives anymore? Their ebay store has been out of the 06-09 4x2 RAM rotors for quite a while now.

**edit**
Just noticed you had an '05. Try these instead: BrakeMotive

 

cant help much on lowering information but one thing you might want to consider is swapping out the vacuum booster and master cylinder for a hydroboost and M/C from a CTD truck so you can have more room between the pass side engine valve cover AND better braking at the same time

 

Brandon how are the brakemotives ? Honestly ebay stuff makes me nervous. Are they as high quality as power stop ?

 

It's been awhile since I've done my brake research, but I'm pretty sure they start with the powerstop blanks, then slot/drill/machine/plate them in-house. They are sponsors on many big forums (maybe here?), and I've never read any bad reviews on them. I've also seen threads on a couple forums where they have gone way out of their way to make things right when something had gone wrong. One way or the other, the rotors in your OP are just expensive for what you are getting, IMO.
