Im new to the forum, in fact I am new to forums in general. Recently purchased a 2013 Ram 1500 Sport, crew cab, I love it!!! I would like to lower the truck about 1 1/2" all the way around. Does anyone know of a kit? Im thinking drop spindles for the front. I think shorter springs might mess with the suspension geometry.

You could do McGaughy's 2" spindles and 2" rear coils. It isn't sold as a kit though.

From what I've heard that if you want to use drop spindles there is some shaving you have to do in the lower control arm. I have a 2/4 Belltech kit for my 2013 but haven't installed it yet because I'm wanting on some other parts and a day off.

I think you're referring to trimming the lower ball joint stud, but that's only needed when using rims smaller than 20s.
