If this will be a problem for me i guess i just wont do it but will it look ok not body dropping it? im new to this my truck is lowered at the moment but its static and i want to step it up. also on a completely unrelated note and more out of curiosity does anyone know if the compressor would be strong enough to fill a scuba tank? just thought it would be cool to be able to do while im diving ( average cylinder is 80 cubic feet of air at 3000PSI) any input would be welcome.

Welcome to the site...
Body-dropping.. Easiest thing is going to be compare the current head-clearance to how far you're moving the floor, and seat bracket room, then see where you're at from there. My buddy hs probably 6'2-3, and drives a body-dropped/bagged Nissan Frontier, and I can tell you, he's cramped, big-time. to the point where he just made it a trailer-queen. Granted, the Frontier has less headroom than the Ram, but still..
I body-dropped/bagged a Sidekick, back in the day, and it was a ton of fun.. But useless, outside of being a toy.
