I just purchased a 2003 Ram Quad Cab 4.7 - 2wd
The kid I got it from lifted it 4.5” in the front and it looks like 2.5” in the rear..
It has LT275/65R20 on 20” rims...
I want to lower it at least 2”-2.5” as I'm old and can barely get into it
There is a set of 2” coil blocks lying in the back seat that came with it.
My questions are...
If I drop it back down to just a 2” lift, will I have to get all new front-end parts?
The driver's side upper wishbone A-arm ball joint does not have any rubber around it, its not loose
so I want to change it out and since I don't know what brand they are I will replace both.
If I do keep the height. What is a good brand and do you have to specify the lift height when ordering
0r are they just a standard configuration...
when these tires are gone.. I would like a little less aggressive tread, same height, maybe not quite as wide... will be all highway, and dirt roads no real off-roading
I have been reading about the overdrive and I'm more confused then ever. Do I drive in town with the OD off? If so when do I engage the OD?
thanks
