I'm not new but this is my first post and my first ever Ram. So I'm a little behind the learning curve when it comes to aftermarket upgrades. So this is my first question.

I have a 2013 Ram Express s/c 1500 5.7 2wd and a 6'4" bed. On the build sheet It's raised ride height. The previous owner put on 275/55 R20. So tires look pretty small.

The kits that I've seen are 2/4. Can I just do a 2-in drop all the way around and keep my twenties? I want new springs anyway. The ones in the back are s***. I put a full bobcat load of 3/4-in gravel in the back of it. I was like WTF. Made it home though. Thanks for those heavy duty OEM shocks. Lol I could put a bucket in half in my old Chevy. Not only do I think it would look pretty tight. I think stiffer springs would also help off the line. It would keep that rea rend from dipping and twisting. Anyway I was just curious to see if anybody has done that (Just the 2-in drop) and what it looked. like

I did the belltech 2/4 drop. My problem is i bottom out on the front when going over certain bumps or on some ramps. I put in new shocks to help but it didnt. I still have my 275 55/20s. the front dropped 1 3/4 from stock height and 3 1/2 in the rear. I have coil spring blocks to put in. They helped with my 93 GMC that had the same issue after previous owner lowered it before i got it. i wish i could get lowering springs for a 3/4T to help. I tried 3 manufacturers and no one makes springs for a 3/4T.
