Welcome to RF.

You can buy lowering kits on the internet and they are really easy to install in the driveway

Welcome to RF and what part of pittsburgh are you in?

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 23, 2012

ive looked all over. but for some reason i cant find the ones for my truck. my shackles are welded. like my **** i bone stock factory height. her of using drop blocks on the leafs but thats sounds like it is half ass....

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 23, 2012

im from the city

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 23, 2012

i want it 3 in the front and 3 maybe 4 in the rear. the biggest thing is my tranny suport is in the way. it will snag on almost eveything im sure. is ther someway i can get a diferent one or maybe make something thinner?

DOAX · Mar 23, 2012

my guess is your going to static drop your truck so drop spindels and coils up front
and in the rear blocks and or a mono leaf are realy the only options

in pittsburgh air ride is the preferd do o the crappy roads
but your looking at alot of work and morny for that

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 24, 2012

well bags is what i really want.

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 24, 2012

i just cant find the parts.

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 24, 2012

ok so i found a kit from djm. now will i have to change out any stering components or anything else to do this?

HemiBabe · Mar 24, 2012

Nope you shouldn't have to change any steering components.... Do u have the link for it?

Yep that kit will work on your truck and I think it comes with shocks too which is awesome!

not sure if the link work but its for airtech.com

this is for a 3500 but that dose not really matter the concept is the same
your just going to be replaceing your front coils and shocks with a bag and they sell a complete 4 link for the rear its a lot of money but that what it cost to buy a bolt on kit

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 26, 2012

the link diddnt work but i found the kit im using for now. thanks tho

It's fairly easy to lower these trucks.

DJM makes a low profile transmission cross member.
I ran a 3" coil 6" flip kit on my '99 Ram. Loved it. I wouldn't mess with a 4" rear drop. You won't be happy. Go with a flip kit. You'll need a frame notch too, but those area easy to install.

pittsburgh00mopar · Mar 29, 2012

ok ok. thanks my man

Hey man cant wait to see your truck done ive got an 01 sport and have had ttouble finding a kit for it

tommyboi87 · May 29, 2014

I mono leafed the rear had a c notch and flip kit already on it. And I added 2 in blocks and both front and back tires are almost tucked. It looks great. I just need to get some good muscle style rims for it. How much of a drop are you going with mopar?
