wondering if anyone can help me,

I've got a buddy that has a 2005 dodge ram x/cab 4 door not sure which one and he has a 4/6 drop kit on it and is wanting to get the stock stuff back on it and i have the same year ram thats stock suspension but mines a single cab.... is there any reason why the drop kit won't fit my truck..?

Yes you can swap it doesn't matter about cabs, but you will need a c notch on the frame or else you'll be hitting everywhere

You might get a touch less front drop since you're only a RC.

You will most definitely need a frame notch. SuicideDoors makes some nice ones. They run ~$100. Well worth it.

A cnotch is a must on any drop lower than 5" in the back or else the axle will hit the frame every 5 seconds.

I don't know how to post pics on here but I got a few of the truck and under it and it doesn't look to have the c notch in it. The to the stock bump stop and cut it down! The back is a flip kit for sure with the lift shackles
