Does any manufacturer make 2" dropped springs for the first gen ram 50?

aim industries makes drop coils also. Be sure to cut the front bump stops in half so the is room for the suspension to travel.

What about the rear? What is the best suggestion on getting that back end down?

[DroppedMitsu]

Blocks. And cut the bump stops down to almost nothing

Rearch the rear springs and have the eyes reversed - reversing the eyes will give a 2" drop by itself, and rearching eliminates the axle on stilts issues that blocks creates. This requires the springs to be modified by a spring shop. Realize too that our leaf springs are 2 3/4" wide, not 2 1/2" or 3" and not normally found at a spring shop. Another reason lowering blocks are bad if you want the suspension to work well as they are all for 2 1/2" springs and allows the blocks to shift due to the gap between the u bolts and the blocks.

sorry to bump such an old thread, but the mighty max springs will fit a ram 50? Im just looking for verification because i do not want to order them and have to send them back.
