Truck looks good. How's the ride quality? I'm wanting to go with a 2/4 drop soon. The stock shocks holding up? Who did you have install them? Thanks!

Ride quality is pretty good actually. You feel bumps more, but not as bad if it were a leaf spring drop. Get a smooth strech of road and it just glides, you get to enjoy all the other people looking at your sweet a$$ truck rollin! Especially around here...not many bright red dropped Rams around...actually I have yet to see one.

The stock shocks seem to be doing fine. Had a local guy here install.

the 2/4 rides fine, it gets just slightly worse when you go even lower. Still love the looks of it, the stares at seeing a 4th gen this low and it rides better than my 04 did with just a 2/3.

I'm really wanting to do this soon. Your truck looks good. I went with some custom hood stripes too, but I have a white truck and went with a little different style. I'm hoping the 2/4 drop will be enough and I won't have the itch to go lower. Thanks for the feedback. I got my birthday and Christmas coming up. Hopefully I can convince the wife.

How do you think the 2/4 drop would be with 24's?

The same as with 20s 22s 26s or any other wheel size. I'm running the 2/4 with 24s. I had to swap out my spindles for springs since they pushed the wheels out so far it looked stupid. I'm running a 305/35-24 on a 24x10 with +12 offset. Still get some rubbing at full lock but I got that with the SRT10s 20x9s I had on also.
