OK, I read the lowering thread about the van lca's and i will be doing this. But have some questions about the rear as none of the rear parts have been clearly explained. Now I'm going 3" of drop with the van LCA's and stock springs whihc is all my Father wants on the front. So I will want to drop the rear 2" to keep that slight rake he wants. Now since a flip kit will be too much drop, what are you guys using for the rear for only 2"-3" of drop? I figured longer shackles but which ones do I need? I can't find any that are 73-93 dodge ram specific, and figure some chebbies ones would work but what year/make chebbie ones I need?

Drop rear shackles for 88-98 Chevy. $40 at local parts store. Good for 1-2" drop.

If its not low enough you can flip the front hanger for another 1-2"

the real question here, is WHY?

Don't want to get into a pissing contest with Dodgeboy, but the '88 up Chevy long hangers I have here use metric sized bolts, slightly larger than the original Dodge ones, so I am THINKING (I know, dangerous) that longer shackles for the earlier, '73 to '87 style GM pickups might be the right size.

Though, I haven't done it.

I had my leaves de arched instead ... not saying it's the right or only way, just how I did it.

Photo of the Ramcharger in question;

Sweet looking Ramcharger...I am going to be pulling all of the wide black trim off my race '86 Ramcharger (weight saving measure, LOL)and I am fairly certain it is the same as your '90, so if you need the piece for your pass door let me know

I am missing the one off the driver side and I am almost certain the one on the pass side is good. I will check in the AM and send you a PM. I can wrap it in cardboard and ship it FedEx. Send me your address after I PM the status of the part.

I'd do a flip & slide the rear hanger down on the frame till desired height in the rear
