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!
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?
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
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.
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
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

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 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?

Those are the exact height I wanted out of my truck! Thanks for the video mate
This is actually really helpful, I’m working on lowering a 2002 3rd gen
Faint Cosmos pics?
Sameeeee

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 🙏🏽
Clean , very clean ma dude !!
That truck is clean
Keep the videos coming for sure bro!!
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.
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???
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
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 💪
cool, can you clear speed bumps
What exhaust you running on the black ram at the end of the video sounds goooood
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
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 kind of light bar is on the bumper and how’d you mount it on
Is the truck a 4.7 v8
what size is the torx bit?
Nice.
About to do this to a mint 02 with only 63K original with a 5.9.
Good video could you drop the link to where you got all the stuff ?
Do you need to grease them up ?
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?
So all u did was install those 2 imch shackles in the back ?
How do u fit those wheels on and what kind and size I like them
What’s the black one setting on ? In the intro
Bro any tips I was installing a shackle yesterday, and it got stuck and I can't get it out.
Hey bro can indo this on my 2020 ram? With of course a wheel alignment
I don’t have springs in mine
Whats up with that 2nd gen ram nice
What did you do to mount the 4th gen bumper?
Hey bro if u don't mind me asking what exactly did you use for front and rear drop ?
When its drop by 2 inch drop shackles what tire size should i need so
It can look more lower???
When doing the flip kit does anything need to be welded i just know the cknotch but ive heard of something about welding it so the axel wont move
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!
How low did u drop the front
Did it come with bolts and screws?
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
Hey what rear bumper do you have on?
Perfect
