does your transmission crossmember ever rub over speed bumps, we have giant speed hills in my neighborhood. I'm into that look especially since im only 2wd. was thinking about runningboards as well.

It's not really that low with the 2-4, plus, im running 305-50/20's, so they have some meat to them. I think you'll be safe.

Here's a before and nearly after pictures. Still have to install the back hangers, so it's just a 2/2 drop right now. :) Hope to cut those rivets out this weekend and complete her.
Also have the bed cover and step rails on.
I have a set of 17" 2005 Ram 1500 chrome rims to put on her--nothing like those 20s you have on yours! :)
Will be a great DD to have.

I'm diggin the '01. Looks real sharp, although my phone wont let me see the light bar people been ****** up. I just bought a '97 2wd 5.2 as a project myself and am lookin in to learning and slamming. Don't know too much about Ram trucks but that WILL change. Could you give me a list of necessary things I would need to purchase for dropping my truck 3"-4"? If you know that is. I'm doing alooot of research and am slowly getting to the bottom of this.

How is the ride quality?

it's really pretty close to stock. a couple things that need to be addressed, i need to trim my rear bump stops some more. it still hits pretty hard on good sized bumps. also, i need smaller tires soon. it rubs the fender a lot, but i am currently running 305/50-20's. next time i think i will go back down to 285/50's.

I got it on ebay. It's a '01 Ram Sport grill, and I painted it to match.

Wow, looks great as ever!
Been off here for 8 months while doing some time for Uncle Sam.
With some extra cash I'm about to do a few things to mine.
I look forward to seeing more of your ride as you do things.
Keep us all up-to-date!
