where have you looked??

check out stylincomcepts.com....they have a good selection!!

with the older body style like that eather way I would only level it. Either bring the back down a few inches or the front up a few. If you lift the front...look for bigger tires to get a nice rugged look out of it. Or you can stay with the stock size tires, lower the back and have the warlock or Lil' Red look!!

either way I WANT PICTURES!!!

hey man , well just by coincidince i im in a mechanic school and i guess ill take ur advice and tell my teacher to help me on that. but how ur truck hooked up man its so hard to find parts for our cars. i either want to raise my truck like 5 inch and put some 36inch tires or drop it at least 2inch in front and 6in the rear(u know our rams come with the stock suspension pretty high in the rear. as for engine wise imma get a new edelbrok carb pushing 600 , new headers , new manifold , maybey if i find them some used or new hemi heads .(well for my engine it will be easy to find those parts but will see) peace man

Hey man i hear what your saying, i was so desperate for cheap tires, my buddy sold me 4 all terrains and i straped them on the ol 2 wheel drive not to mention that they are 33's, the back clearance is fine, the front clears but when you hit bumps it rubs a little bit. Here are some ways you can lower it, put your rear end over the leaf springs in the rear, should lower it about 3-4 inches, you will need to do a bit of welding and modifing, but i have seen it done and it looks pretty good man.
