i just bought my first 3rd gen, its an 04 5.7L 2500 with only 87k miles on it. Im wondering if i should lower it. its sitting a bit too high for my wife and dog to get in. maybe that's a good thing?
Neat I don’t know anything about these trucks, but I was given one and all I know is it’s to high. These things look perfect for what I want. Thank you!
That’s one great looking truck. Nice video man. Question tho, is the front all stock? And what about the rear ? Is everything stock ? Except the 2 inch drop shackle ? Please let me know bro I would like to get my truck the height your is at.
you combined the flip kit with the 2” lowering shackles? I was like that truck looks way lower than mine . . Haha, pretty cool I’m glad I know now that’s an option
Made it look easy bro hopefully it’s easy when I get mine. Mine is stock but I’m trying to level it out with the front. I got the same exact shackle. Do you think it’ll level?
i have basically same truck but 07 and my damn shackles i bought dont fit my leaf spring bushings. literally 3/16 inch too narrow Im pissed and dont wanna buy others till i fig out if i ordered wrong or it was built wrong. 2wd quad cab 07

Yes I would recommend doing something to make sure it won’t move, I did one burnout in this truck and it wheel hopped and the axle moved.. I’ve heard of people welding shims but I’ve never actually done it! The homie @streetterrorperformance on TH-cam might have more knowledge on it!
Bro I need some help just got my dodge 2008 it’s stock never been lifted leveled or dropped . If I buy those shackles should my truck drop just like yours
What do you use to lower the front I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 and it doesn’t have springs in the front only shocks would getting shorter shocks work?
I have a 3/5 drop on my ram. The stock bump stops were right on my diff. I suggest taking them off, and you have 2.5” of clearance. If you tow or use the truck for work or heavy things, I suggest a bolt on c notch
I put the 2 in drop shackles on the rear and it barely did anything I couldn’t get the shackles to face the front though am I doing something wrong, anyone help?
@@madram1727 bro I took the shocks off thinking they were the problem nope then I faced the schackles the other way still nothing then I took the schackles off and just put the spring up in there still didn’t move it’s like it’s stuck so what should I do I want mine to sit just like yours in the beginning I have never lowered a vehicle on lifted
remove some leaf springs i left two or one on mine rides smooth as hell had a 3/7 on mine a 2002 crew cab with 17’s stocks but i sold it got another one for the fuck of it but its already lowered on 24’s inch srt10 reps got a snap?

@@madram1727 i did a flip kit and put it at 4 inches rear but youre right it went lower than that and now it bangs pretty hard hiw can i get a 4 inch drop
Proud of you, Buddy. Good deal. Let’s keep supporting him.
This is actually really helpful, I’m working on lowering a 2002 3rd gen
Faint Cosmos pics?
Sameeeee
Same...
Those are the exact height I wanted out of my truck! Thanks for the video mate
Great vid. Third gen is really where it’s at 💪🏽. Such a solid platform to start any kind of build on. One of the last great american pickups.

Truck looks sweet, love the roll pan. I've got the same truck in Red,
Neat
I don’t know anything about these trucks, but I was given one and all I know is it’s to high. These things look perfect for what I want. Thank you!
lowered my 04 today, thanks for the vid man. ur rig looks good also 👍
Bro your video was hella helpful i got a 3rd gen I’m trying to lift the back and get an idea of what i need so thank you 🙏🏽
I’m looking to lower my 3rd gen regular cab now so this definitely helped. Any update on the front would love to see that honestly.
Clean , very clean ma dude !!
That truck is clean
Keep the videos coming for sure bro!!
cool, can you clear speed bumps
Where’d you get the 4/6 drop bro?
Nice truck. I like how that tail gate looks with the spoiler or wing u got there. Can u tell me where u got???
Nice.
About to do this to a mint 02 with only 63K original with a 5.9.
Hi what are your front and rear bumpers called
Back is roll pan
Great video man would you be doing a video on how to lower the front? Trying to lower my friends truck.
Yessir soon, I already lowered it more by cutting the springs but soon imma get some spindles and make a video on them 👌 thanks for watching homie 💪
What exhaust you running on the black ram at the end of the video sounds goooood
What kind of light bar is on the bumper and how’d you mount it on
Good video could you drop the link to where you got all the stuff ?
I don’t have springs in mine
That’s one great looking truck. Nice video man. Question tho, is the front all stock? And what about the rear ? Is everything stock ? Except the 2 inch drop shackle ?
Please let me know bro I would like to get my truck the height your is at.
It was already on a 4/6 so the shackles just dropped the rear a little bit
what size is the torx bit?
What’s the black one setting on ? In the intro
you combined the flip kit with the 2” lowering shackles? I was like that truck looks way lower than mine . . Haha, pretty cool I’m glad I know now that’s an option
Yessir, I got the $40 eBay shackles and they worked great
@@madram1727 what flip kit did you use?
What you had to change on the front?
@@clayonallen9674 springs
@@FatCat405 just changing the spring alone would that give you a rough ride
Is the truck a 4.7 v8
Do you need to grease them up ?
I can’t seem to get my 4.7 to even break lose on a burn out but in reverse it will smoke them
Get a HP custom tune and 3.92 gears with limited slip
Made it look easy bro hopefully it’s easy when I get mine. Mine is stock but I’m trying to level it out with the front. I got the same exact shackle. Do you think it’ll level?
I think it’ll sit pretty damn close to level if it’s stock height up front bro, if not try shackles and hangers and I bet it would
MadRam17 thanks for the feedback bro. What are hangers exactly though?
@@noelelenes9090 its just a relocating bracket for the opposite side of the leaf spring

Hey what rear bumper do you have on?
Are you running a c notch or anything at the time of this install?
Was the truck stock before you put the shackles on it?
Did it come with bolts and screws?
Would I need a alignment?
Not after just drop shackles
how did you lowered the front?
