Don't take this the wrong way but out of curiosity, why would you want to lower a 4X4?
Life span of your CV axles starts to go to hell if you go much lower then 2".If you don't use it as a 4X4 you can remove the axles ,and go down as much as you want. I dropped my 4X4 using 2 inch 2 wheel drive drop spindles on the front

Your CV's start to absorb power,and burn more gas when you go really low on a 4X4 as they run in a constant bind,and they don't last very long. If you don't use it as a 4X4,you can remove everything ahead of the transfer case with no issues,that includes front driveshaft / front diff and the CV axles,basically turn it into a 2 wheel drive with a transfer case,then the skys the limit on how low you want to go,and you can also run a big-n-little staggered tire set-up. I'm running 305/50/20 on the rear and 295/45/20's on the front on my 4X4
Being in Vegas,do you really need it as a 4X4,lol
Everybody and their dog lifts a 4X4,why would you want to be like the dog,lol. It's his truck,if he wants to lower it,all the power to him.
Exactly bro lol.. it rains maybe 7 times out the year, I never go off-roading or anything. I bought it because It was the cheapest 5.7 Single cab ram I could find and it has autostick manual mode on it so its pretty fun to drive lmao.
Appreciate it man, yea no doubt!Which ever way you go, just don’t go cheap…… you’ll regret it and it’ll cost lots more afterwards. Hold off and save up the extra. You’ll be glad you did
We’ve all been there.
You lose roughly 120 lbs removing the front driveshaft/front diff and axles,which is good for roughly 2/10's at the track,lol. 40lbs of that is axle rotating weight,which helps on milege,lol. You can easily re-install everything when you decide to sell or trade the truck,as it all just unbolts.The 2 wheel drives and 4X4's use the same front hub,so don't let anybody tell you,you can't remove the CV axles,take the big nut off the axle shaft and it just slides out of the hub,might take some persuasion with a big hammer though,lol
Quit being so thin skinned.
What's the point of a lowered 4x4?
Better milege / better handling /looks differant then all the lifted 4X4's / easier to get in and out of / and it's his truck,which he can lower if he wants. Read this thread better,he already gave his reason for wanting to lower "his" truck.What's the point of asking this question??
What's the point of answering this question for him, it's his truck, stay out of it, and you are wrong on better handling, thanks for being his mommy.
