Hahaha, check out this guy posting in the lowered section.

Well, sometimes you gotta face your fears and deal with the things you dislike.





My truck has been lowered at one point though.





When I had several hundred pounds of concrete squares in the back. :happy175:

New to the forum just to post here. First pic is how I got it, the rest are a few weeks old but pretty much how it sits. 5/7 drop, flip kit, notch but gonna go bigger, cut springs in the front and shocks all around, gonna get spindles for the front. Also my dad just picks up a 2013 Bagged Leramie LongHorn copperhead two tone with all the bells and whistles. Favorite thing about it is the heated wood grain steering wheel

Pink camo is kinda my thing, whatever sticks out or is just crazy looking, so I got the manliest one I could find and it looks pretty sick in person, it's more fuschia than pink which is darker. And im big into car audio so that why there's a shot of the 12's but Im gonna do a blowthru with 15's next so Ill make a post about that

I forgot about this forum until I was Googling lowered Dodge trucks. Here is mine after swapping the 2" coils for 3 inchers. I got it all aligned. I'm pretty happy with it.

How does it ride

Ride was terrible until one day when I was underneath the truck and have an old serpentine belt laying around. We cut strips a few inches long and put them in between the leaf springs. Rides 10000x better now

Got a tonneu cover for cheap ($180) and threw it on. I'd give it a 3.5/5 stars just because the metal snaps on the cover itself like to rip off very easily when its cold but if that problem was fixed it'd definitely be a 5 star product.

Reason I needed the cover was because I cut my back wall and bed (called a blow through in the car audio world) to make room for 2 15's. My doors can barely stay on there's so much flex.

Tried out some plasti dip ideas also. I kind like the old school mopar challenger look. I'll make it a little bigger and better looking but we keep getting snow every week so its been too cold to paint. I just have to be a snow plow for a while I guess. Last pic was a trip to walmart that usually take 5 minutes but turned into 40

I'm diggin the plastidip on the box!! I've always wanted to try and do some sort of old school cuda style "billboard" on my truck.

After seeing yours its really making me want to experiment with this idea some more and maybe try masking it out on my truck sometime this summer.

I've got everything you can buy for the 2nd gen's except spindles. I think it was a 5/7 drop in the back, shocks front and back, lowering springs in the front plus I cut a half coil off of them. I have a half notch but it wasn't enough so it rides on bump stops right now. Im just gonna body and bag it later and put in a big notch in it

Nice lookin truck. I've seen a few 2nd gens with the 4th gen bumper and still can't say I'm sold on that look. But that's just me.

Yea man I don't drive in town much mainly back and forth to work. And I wasnt to big in the fourth gen bumper either due to all the gaps where the grille and the fender so I cut roughly two inches off the ends and added sheet metal on the top to fill that gap.
