Dude, the 1/2 drop is springs in the front dropping almost 1", 2" shackles in the back. Can be returned to stock easy. I installed it parked in the street. Do a search for great instructions if needed. It'll keep the rake and make those 22's fill the whole wheel well. Plus, you can keep your stock shocks.

Not for long...once I lowered my truck -2/2 my stock shocks didn't last. They're still on, but I bounce all over. It's the next thing on my list to buy. I would say it took about 10k miles before they were shot. I also live on some really bumpy roads though.

Good point. I'm sure my shocks are beyond shot. But, mine was more stiff and bouncy from the get go with the different springs. I got used to it. When it's smooth, the ride carves.

sorry SVTweeter but that just doesn't look right, it kind of looks like a toy monster truck, it just doesn't go, but to each his own. If you like it then to hell what everyone else thinks, me included.

truck is not lowered, but it sure fills the wheelwell. I read of all the horror stories on this forum of 22's and lowering and bad suspension issues and rubbing so I decided to leave the suspension stock and I have no rubbing or anything. The only bad thing about this is when I'm going 60 mph, I'm really going 69 mph because of the tire circumference, so I gotta watch the speedo.

Krix330Cic - those 24's look danm big ... I went with 23's because of the tires (40 series) I could get cause I'd hate to be rollin on 30 series tires with this 5500 pound beast. With 40 series I can roll over any bump and not give a *****.

You guys keep the big wheels......the dodge boys got to have someone to beat up on..........Some of you may have made good times in the North, but you wouldn't be running 12.0 and 11s down here in Texas with 22s..................................
