I really want to lower my '13 Ram. I want to get a 3/5 or the 4/6 drop. if anyone could do a part list and company it would be awesome. already have the entire sound system done. headlights on the way, and tail ligths were installed. now to complete it is to lower it, wrap it, and rims. any ideas on good rim companies also appreciated. ive never done a truck before. please any help is awesome.

a little research in this forum will provide almost every part you need. Inez Illicid for the rear end correction.

Yep, as listed above, either the Inez Hotrods drop kit or the McGaughy drop kit. Can't go wrong with either one.

I had the McGaughy drop kit on my 2013 Ram and I just installed the Inez Hotrods drop kit on my 2015 last weekend.

If you want to do a 3/5 or 4/6

your best option is the Inez Hotrods setup, with their setup you keep the front springs and shocks and just replace the upper/lower control arms.
For the rear you use the upper/lower control arm relocation brackets.

Mc G nor Belltech offer a 3/5 you would need to cut their springs
and deffenently they don't offer a 4/6

So if I went with the Inez hotrods kit I'm assuming everything will be there, would I need to cut anything or is it just going to be bolt on and play?

I'm thinking maybe I should stick with the 3/5 because of I load my motorcycle into the back of my truck for trips often. So maybe the 4/6 wouldn't be so good?

You will have to cut off the stock rear upper control arm brackets off the axle. That way you can both on their control arm brackets. Also you can get the air lift bags to put in the rear springs to Jack the back of the vehicle up to load your motorcycle.

when you cut the rear springs (5" or 6" drop) the axel will be closer to the bed... if your towing I would suggest you install the airlift 1000 system. Use model 60824 that is for the Durango but fits the lowered Rams perfect.

with either a 3/5 or 4/6 I would use the bags for towing.

Lowest they make is a 4" drop. You have to cut them to go any lower. That's what 90% of the people do once they get the 4" drop springs.
