I put this in the exterior mods section because that's pretty much all this would be....an appearance mod.
I have been thinking about lowering my truck just a little. Probably 1.5-2" front and back (whatever 2" drop shackles would give me) in order to maintain the level stance. I know what most are probably thinking...why would you lower it? The reason is because I love the stance but have very often found myself disliking the amount of gap between the tires and fenders. The tires I want that would help fill the gap are $1300 a set...not feasible right now. I can drop it down a little for less than $150. Depending on how it looks with the stock sized 33" tires I may even eventually go to a 305/50/20 (32") tire. A new set of those is considerably cheaper than the taller tire and I like the idea of the width.
So here's a pic of how my truck sits. Should I drop it 2"? These third gen Rams sit up higher than any other stock 1500 I have ever seen, including the 4th gen Rams, so I really don't think a 2" drop will make it look lowered. I think it will make it look normal, lol. Opinions?
