Call Ground Force. They have 4x4 kits...don't know why they don't list them on their site.

Because I like the lower entry height, lower load height, better handling and the overall lowered/leveled look and stance with the Sport model. Because I don't go off road (intentionally) any more and it makes it more like a hot rod and less like just another truck but I still have the advantage of 4 wheel drive for the occasional ice and snow. It's like getting a high performance hot rod and an "occasional use" pick-up truck all in one package. Besides, the lowered 4x4 isn't really all that low anyway so no worries with curbs, speed bumps, etc.

Agreed.
1) Easier for women and kids to get in and out
2) Better mpg's and handling
3) If you don't do any serious off-roading, you don't need the height. Our Durango was
lower than a ram w/ a 2-3 or 2-4 drop and it did great on the beach, on fishing trails,
and in the snow
4) It's a matter of opinion as to what looks best, but in mine lowered looks better. I hate
fender gap. On my my 2000 I compensated with bigger tires and taller gears which
adversely affected mpg's. That being said, I have seen some pretty sweet looking
lifted 09's, but I still prefer the lowered look.

i personally do not like the look of the 2009+ lifted. its more of a sport truck than the aggressive 3rd gens... i had a 06 that i had plans of lifting up and everything but i traded for a 09 rcsb that i think will look way way better lowered. I live in nh so having 4x4 for winter is good, not that ive ever needed it in any vehicle ive owned. I think ive put it in 4x4 like 4 times in the last 3 years i had my 06.
