I just purchased 1996 Ram 1500 4x4, I feel its too high for my liking. Now I dont want to slam it, Im just looking for a 2wd ride height out of a 4wd. I dont tow anything and Im not one to go 4 wheeln. I mainly just have the 4x4 for the winters here in PA.

If anybody can give me any links, pointers, or just tell me where you got your kit Id really appreciate it. In the mean time, I'll keep doing my unsuccessful searching, lol.

TIA guys

 

The fastest, cheapest and most effective way.

Go to any checker, auto zone, Oreilys etc..... Pick up a set of spring clamps for the front springs. Get dirty and adjust the leafs in the rear or possibly a lowering shackle.

 

Im kinda new to the 4x4 realm, Im more of an import guy. The reason Im saying this is because I dropped 1200 dollars on coilovers for my car and I was always under the impression that spring clamps were kind of a bandaid....please correct me if Im wrong. If I do it, Im really lookin to do it the right way, even of it does cost a few hundred, thanks for the info.

PS - Im starting to agree with that last comment you made before you deleted it, lol

Thanks man

 

Yeah, thats the main reason why they are made. I was just saying a cheap way to do it.

Another cheap way is talk to a old motorhead junkyard rat or just look up the specs of your coils, find a vehicle that has one the same diameter but shorter at a junk yard or something... Ive seen people do that before. But then again Ive also seen people take a hack saw to them and work great.

I guess what it comes down to if you want it done right youll have to pay for it... They make kits for it but Im sure they're not cheap
