need to know the year and model, 1500, 2500. I know there are airbag kits out for the solid axle front ends, to raise/lower it. but no the the 1500 cuz it use's torsion bars. and air bags cant got in where the shocks are, becuz the axle's run thru the middle. I was told by one company that they are working on a air system or the 1500 4x4. but nothing is out that i know of yet.

4x4 is made to be SOLD not lowered. and then save some cash and buy a 2wd...2wd way better on gas.
sell the 4x4 to someone who is going to let it fly high!

Add a leveling lift kit to the front. You might be able to get away with 2" spacers. Forget about leveling the rear end...I agree with billyd12...4x4s only go one way.....WAY UP!

i would like it to look lke a 2wd and not a 4x4 but be 4x4. i know that sounds confusing. i want it to look agressive with the big 22" wheels
