I've got a 3.5/7 drop on my truck. Just went to a set of Bilstein HD's. Best shocks you can get, but they're a little spendy and I had to do some custom work for the rear. They don't make drop shocks for a Dodge, but as has been mentioned before, 2" spindles and 1.5" coils don'tneed drop shocks. I got a shock made for a lowered Chevy and modified my mounting brackets in the back. Excellent ride now.

I just did a 2/4 drop on my 4x4. I used Monroe struts up front and Monroe shocks on rear. Call Monroe and let him know the amount of drop you will be going on the rear and they will fina a shock for you. The front is tricky tho cause. You have to have the proper thread size and connection when fitting the struts. That's what I ran into anyways. But if you want a nice ride go shackles and leaf springs n rear, this way you don't have to flip the axle around the leafs and it remains a solid ride. As for the front coils and spindles will get you down to around 4". I did a post right above this one about it.
