youre kidding right its a truck for chrissakes! dont phuque with the suspension! put a set of chrome westin nerf bars on it and shell have no trouble getting in and out even in a tight skirt and heels. conjurs up all sorts of good visuals huh a softer ride !!!! judas-freakin-priest what the hell did she buy a truck for if shes wanting a softer ride shes not going to be very happy with any pickup truck on the market. its a truck! id tell her to take it back and trade it for a lincoln ls or town car. if she doesnt like the ride in the truck she probably wouldnt be very happy with the ride in a corvette or viper either. heres an idea - lower the tire pressure down to 20 pounds and put a dozen 80-lb bags of sakrete in the rear of the bed. writes were thinking about lowering my girlfriends 99 ram 1500 a couple of inches to make it easier to get in and out. at the same time wed like to soften the ride. does anyone have any suggestions as to which vendors product would be suitable thanks leon .

the 99 1500 already has a pretty soft ride. with the level of redesign you want to do perhaps it is the wrong vehicle for her to begin with. is it a 2 or 4 wheel drive short or long bed standard or extended cab perhaps adding a set of nerf bars would make it easier for her to get in and out and the also look good and protect the truck. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving were thinking about lowering my girlfriends 99 ram 1500 a couple of inches to make it easier to get in and out. at the same time wed like to soften the ride. does anyone have any suggestions as to which vendors product would be suitable thanks leon .

hey man to each there own. and if you have a woman you know the deal. mine complains about my 2500 diesel 4x4 both of em actually. and she wont get in my jeep mangler with the 38s and 400 hp small block chevy. i am not down with the lowering of trucks either but as i said to each their own. pick up a copy of truckin or minitruckin should be lots of sources for lowering kit suppliers. know that lowering it will only make the ride harsher though. shorter springs same weight+harsh ride. if she has trouble gettting in look for a good set of nerf bars and leave teh ride height alone. there is a company called n-fab http//www.n-fab.com/ that makes a set of nerf bars that have an extra hoop below the regular bar that makes ingress/egress easier for ladies. i have a set on my 2500 with 38sits the play truck the other is stock for work and they make it easy to get in and out of. ramman@dodgecity.cc wrote youre kidding right its a truck for chrissakes! dont phuque with the suspension! put a set of chrome westin nerf bars on it and shell have no trouble getting in and out even in a tight skirt and heels. conjurs up all sorts of good visuals huh a softer ride !!!! judas-freakin-priest what the hell did she buy a truck for if shes wanting a softer ride shes not going to be very happy with any pickup truck on the market. its a truck! id tell her to take it back and trade it for a lincoln ls or town car. if she doesnt like the ride in the truck she probably wouldnt be very happy with the ride in a corvette or viper either. heres an idea - lower the tire pressure down to 20 pounds and put a dozen 80-lb bags of sakrete in the rear of the bed. writes were thinking about lowering my girlfriends 99 ram 1500 a couple of inches to make it easier to get in and out. at the same time wed like to soften the ride. does anyone have any suggestions as to which vendors product would be suitable thanks leon .
