RE: Lower a 4x2 (sport look)
yeah i lowered my ram with a McGaughy's 2/4 kit and then stuffed some 22's on it...i also lowered mine myself in my driveway in a matter of a couple hours (it's also got an airbag rear helper spring on it)

Do ALL lowering kits require that you cut the truck in some way?

Do you expect any difficulties with snow/icenow that you havethe new lowering parts? Just curiousif there are any cold weather maintenence issues I should prepare for.

thank you...i got the lowering kit off ebay and got it shipped to my house for about $380 total...as long as you have basic hand tools, floor jack (i used 2) and some jack stands then your good to go....i know how ya feel, i was living in northern iowa and lowered my truck in january lol....
as for the snow/ice, i didn't really get into very much just a couple inches of snow here and there and i didn't have any problems with it....the type of tire you choose is going to be a huge factor after you lower it......
you might want to relocate your spare tire to the bed of your truck permanetly...i've had some issues with the rear diff getting quite hot so i moved the spare to the bed and that'd seemed to help out quite a bit and i also got an aftermarket rear diff cover to hold more fluid...kinda pricey but it keeps the rear cooler and it looks cool lol.....
i will suggest that you look at buying the 2" drop front kunckles as well as new shocks all the way around just to help it ride better and get the front end back down so everything isnt sitting at weird angles....other then that you should be good to go...got any other questions feel free to e-mail me or PM me
good luck and post pics when your done!!!!

forgot to mention, if your going to be any towing or hauling stuff...then i highly suggest you look at getting an airbag helper spring like I have....here's a link for where you can find em http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...115+4294881945
i bought mine from stripper motorsports and i bought the McGaughy's brand...it was about $100 cheaper from stripper motorsports, but i cant find the link for it right at the moment

myopinion if u want aggressive stance and want to haul stuff then ur moving it in the opposite direction. you need to go up up up.
