This might sound crazy but how bad would it be to run no front shocks for a couple weeks just straight coil springs on a 2wd ram 1500? I had to remove my Monroe shocks and of course the upper shock mount had essentially welded itself together from rust so I cut them off. Locally I can only get the same Monroe shocks but because I'm lifted I want to get pro comp es9000's. Because of my big coil spacer the coil spring is not nearly as bouncy and I drove it like that all day. It rode better than with the maxed out Monroe's.
You can, but I wouldn't recommend it. The shocks on the 4x2 are what limits the downward travel of the suspension. Removing the shock allows the LCA to drop down basically an infinite amount.
