Default Dropping an 04 ram

I have 2004 ram 5.7l=L.

I am wanting to level it out by dropping the back 2" - I've looked around at some kits.
What do you guys recommend?

I will post pics of the beast soon - Ive done quite a bit of customizing on the interior

i just bought the ground force kit which is i think 1.3 in the front and 4.5 in the back, it's not too low as i still have 2-3" of fender gap b/t the tire and the fender but it sits exactly level from front to back, and still has a pretty decent ride!! if this helps at all, if you go straight up the center of the wheel/tire my fender there, on all four corners is 34". I do have shorter tires than what comes with the common 20's as i have a GTX with different tires and wheels, but that should give you a good idea!!!

Yeah it does give me a little bit of an idea - do you have any pics? Id love to see them.

Where did you get it and what are we looking at in terms of price and install time/difficulty?

well i was looking through summit and they had the entire kit for $399, it comes with every single piece of hardware that you need including shocks all the way around! and fully detailed instructions that you can't mess up, and well i'm really **** about doing the work good so i would say overall it probably took me 4-6 hours total by myself, and the on the rear if you're going to do it you really really need another person as that woulda cut an hour out of my time if i had another person helping me, but good luck and i'm still trying to get the pictures up for ya just being kinda lazy today!!

i bet if you call them and say something similar to this that they might still sell it for cheaper "i just got back from australia on vacation and my friend said you had an awsome deal going and just thought i would make sure of the price, that is $399 and if it is i'll go ahead and order it and if not i'll look somewhere else?!" that might get them to sell it b/c i talked to ground force mono e mono and they said that they don't sell direct but to distributors and the more you buy the cheaper it gets so i'm thinkin summit bought a **** load and that's why the price dropped and if they didn't sell as good as they thought maybe you can still sneak a sale in there, just for thought!
