My truck (pictured below) is a Ram 1500, 05' single cab, on 22's, it has been lowered enough to level the back to the front, but I want to go down another inch or so. Some people tell me the wheels are going to rub and others say I "should" be ok...... so does anyone know whats really up if I took it down another inch??? IM UP FOR ANY SUGGESTIONS!!

just looking at the area around the truck, I wouldn't drop it any more. You may need the clearance for bumps. Every time you hit a bump and your tires rub, you're that much closer to a blow out. You're also looking at a lowered cargo weight capacity. If you never haul much more than a cooler of coors AND never go over anything more than small speed bumps, you'll be OK with another INCH, but I wouldn't push beyond that.

 

Being a Girly-girl like you are, you should buy a Honda. They look much better on the ground. Being stupid and ignorant to boot, you should sell that Dodge and hop on a scooter and peddle your *** wherever yourself takes you. Your a gang-banger-wannabee-idiot. Get a life or drive a truck. Your Choice. At least you don't have hydraulics and "chiny" **** all ovet it. Now, start thinking about making your "truck" look like a TRUCK. Stop with the paint, begin with the function.

carry on, in a manly manner.

 

ok, no need to verbally attack his truck and the owner. Even though we may not all agree with him and what he has done, it's not like a guy on a computer he has never met will change his mind anyway. His question was: "Will my tires rub if I lower it any more?". Not: "does my truck look like one of my ***** has been removed?"

Thomasnhcy, This is a friendly discussion forum on trucks and there is absolutely NONE of that tolerated.

Brentr21, Please please please do not respond to so said post, we do not need a arguement about somethign as trivial as this. I do not know the answer to your question, but as the day goes on, someoene will.

And welcome to the forum

 

What is up with this guy???
Your truck looks great man...and I am not a big Doge fan either. Unlike others in this post however I can appreciate others creativity. I personally would leave well enough alone. I have had many lowered trucks and the older and more practical I get the more I realize the cooler something looks usually means the rougher or more uncomfortably they ride. That looks like a real nice driver that could still haul some stuff without a problem. I had a lowered (just in the rear like yours) Silverado 4 door and came across a guy like thomasnchy at a party one night. He started in with all the big wheel / little tire crap. He, by the way, was driving some jacked up BO BO F-150 that was just horrible (and again I can appreciate a nicely done 4X4). Long story short by the end of the night I not only woop him in a drag race, out pulled him, but then found out that his big bad 4X4 didn't even have a front driveshaft in it. He left with his tail between his legs. I think thomasnchy might be related to this guy!
I like the photo too...looks like it belongs in a Dodge ad! Nice Work!!!!

 

I think the truck looks killer. Not my cup of tea, but it looks great.

 

I think this thomasnchy kid yes i said kid is mad he dont have the truck and his momma still drops him off at school Sharp truck i use to have a 99 dodge that was lowerd man i loved that truck

 

How to go about this??? Well, guys, I was in the wrong. And I apologize. Everyone was absolutley in the right about what I wrote earlier and I wont make excuses for myself. Just chalk it up to a bad day and too much sun?
The truck looks good, not my cup of tea, but good. That is also a great photo.

Anyways, ... My bad.

 

Thomasnchy, I am very enthused that you apologized for your mistake as I have had to ban quite a few members for being A$$holes. I was waiting for a response to this thread before I made my decision because you have posted quite a few other helpful posts in this site, and for that I thank you

 

We all have bad days...glad to see you are feeling better. I guess we will let you stay in the "Cool Guy Club" but your on probation J/K. Welcome back!
