I've decided to do a static drop on my 2008 Dodge Ram reg-cab. What would be the best way?  I thought I would use 2" drop springs and 2" drop spindles (are McGaughty's good?) in the front but don't really know about the rear. Flip Kit? Lowered leafs? I'm going for a 4"-5" or    4"-6".

the McGaughty kit is great  a flip in the rear is good for daily driving make sure you up date the rear shocks they will bottom out my 1500 is a 3-5 kit i think put it in with 600 miles on it,it is a 2003 has over 60,000 now. my wife drives it every day , and we tow our jet ski's with no prob.very easy to install also..

Do the spindles and the coil springs and a flip kit. Lower leaf spring are a horrible ride! You can always get the air bag helper kit to smooth out the rear and it will help if you haul any heavy loads.

Which shocks should I use? I was thinking Nitro Drop, but which model?
