Dropping my 85 Ram Charger need a little help

Hey guys I am going to drop my RC and was wondering what ways will work to drop the front? I'm not sure what parts from other trucks might work since nothing is available for these trucks. I'd like to drop the front 4 or 5 inches. Any help would be great! I think its LoAsian that has a RC identical to mine that lays body. Thats sick!

 

my buddy's got a Ram charger on hydros but not bodydropped....he basically made everything himself since there's nothing available for them 

Get a hold of Big Mike at Gauge Magazine. He know alot about what parts to used if you want to stick with dodge stuff. http://www.streetsource.com/forum/topic.aspx?topic_id=113798&Page=1  On the one I did, I used a 85 c10 front clip and built a new frame.

You can do a dakota drop spindle swap for 2" and if your truck does not have the pocketed lca you can run b200 van lcas for a additional 2".  Spindle Swap Biblehttp://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Number=4222381LCA infohttp://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5554452&an=0&page=7#Post5554452 I did the dakota swap and ran airbags on my D200 heres the build threadhttp://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=5506647&an=0&page=2&gonew=1#UNREAD Hope this helps!!!

like Mike said the dakota spindles and pocketed arms work well, also 94-01 ram springs will fit but are an inch longer, so a 3" drop 94-01 spring will net a 2" drop in our older rides. an axle flip in the rear will net you bout 6" drop, you can also flip the front leaf spring hanger for an inch or two. drop shackles for late 80-90s chevy's bolt right in.  for a kit you can look into midamericacustoms.com but the ways posted so far are MUCH cheaper.

dmopar74, I was wondering if he could run the shaclkles on the rear for sure? Sense the rear floor in the ramcharer is most likely closre to top of frame then on a pickup.  

hmmm good point not shure. i say bag it! i did a static drop on my crew and cant stand it, too low to drive and still way too high for me.

Thanks guys this is a ton of help to me! I really didn't know where to start but came to the right place as usual. I can't wait to get rid of some of that big space under this thing. I get out of my caprice and into the ramcharger and its like I just climbed up into a Bigfoot truck! I appreciate all the help 4 sure
