I know i came up to your shop a few months ago or well more than that but i am looking to get my truck lower and since there is no lowering kits i like" i partial to air ride" i'd like to see what you would like to do with the front of my truck its a 2005 SRT-10 Ram.. i'm not looking to lay it out but want to see what you can do about getting the Bottom of the bumper almost on the ground.. not looking for anything crazy just classy with good work., i will have the rear end done later down the road... but like i said just want the truck about 2 or 4 inch's lower than it is now but want to be able to lift the truck up when getting into parking lots and what not... nothing crazy just classy small air tank 3/8th air line with 3/8th valves what do you think? i'll have the motor back in the truck in 2 or 3 weeks if you can think you are up to doing it i'll swing by and let you take a look at it.
thanks in advance

exactly.. air ride isn't put on all vehics to lay out and drag.. lots of older classic cars have air ride on them but don't lay out its just to make it look nice and to be smoother

Doesn't sound all that interesting but when you get the rear done it will look very clean.

well heres my deal... i'm a big fan of Air Ride just about everything i'v owned has been bagged... i'm not looking to chop up a 55k truck..or have to worry about me doing 130+mph and having a bag blow an it slam to the ground.. this will not be played with much just want it low as hell up front and i will have a 4 link done in the back for traction.. right now i'm laying down 870+RWHP on spray on a dynojet dyno untuned...gonna need a mean ass stance and some help in the traction department
spray is for pussys and shoulda bought a lightning.

lol guys like you make me laugh..but on the other side i can see where your coming from but having a lightning is just like having a mustang at the end of the day its...just a mustang.... i can think of a At least20 or 30 lightnings around me in a 100 mile radius i know that there are only 4 SRT-10's..... And just for your info i'v ran a 12.03 N/A i haven't found a lightning at any of the track that can run like that N/A on spray i'm in the mid 11's in the 1/4mile and your idea of nitrous is a little diffrent than mine but spending 40 grand on a turbo kit vs spending 1500 on a nice nitrous set up.. that i'll hardly use...anyway i'm not here to argue or start shit i just want to do 0some business....
anyway keith please shoot me a PM or if i don't hear from you in the next week or so i'll just drive up there and let you look at her to see what you think
o an for what it's worth heres the info on my motor for the shoulda bought a lightning guy....
Stroked 522-Bumped Compression 10.9:1 Ratio- Forged Callie Rods-Forged JE Pistons-Port and Polished Heads/Intake-Roe Throttle Body-Bigger Exhaust and Intake Valves-Extrude Honed Intake-WCV Underdrive Pullys-Theres is more but i like to street race to much to let all my secrets out.. this set up isn't tuned yet so i'v got no clue what it could make horsepower wise this time around but anyway heres a nifty little video...... the SRT-10 ram in this Video is all Bolt Ons No replacement For Displacement

Got that wrong, Lightnings are for old guys.. Look at most lightning owners lol... most srt10 guys look like matt spence with frosted tips in the hair, abercrombie, and fo-hawks... wait just like you aldo!

stock for stock the Lightning out handles and out performs the SRT-10, atleast in the real world. Ive been at to many track days to see that first hand.
To bad i dont have my lightning still, stock or after i built it. Id love to race you.

Street racing is just plain stupid. Period.
Besides, this thread is about a guy asking Keith a question about some suspension work.

SHHHHH don't tell any one but my crank is has been turned and milled to run Chevy rods lol! and stock for stock? depends on who the driver is lol anybody can just punch the gas and hold on...takes talent to slam gears The SRT-10 ram and Viper Car are The 2 hardest cars/trucks to drive in the world... they have no traction control or ESP it's all in the driver
this srt-10 is stock except for a tuner

on a bike man? not saying your crazy or nothing cause i have a harley to but i wouldn't think about racing on my bike.. i'm sorry to hear about this.. i completely think street racing is ok.... but there is a time and a place just my .02 cents
still2low4urho
11-16-2008, 10:11 PM
well...is considered racing, even tho the car had no chance....long story short we took off at the light and of course i left him, i slowed down he caught up at around 100mph and then i accelerated and was lookin back when the truck pulled out....totally dumb wasnt even a half mile from my house on my way to work at around 9am when everyone was out
its different if you go to like a street where no one is on and there are no streets that pull out to the road your on, either way if you get caught the consquences are severe, and if someone gets hurt street racing its a felony....even if your the only one who got hurt....
WILL SCRAPE!!!!

the thing about a 55k ram srt10 and a 28k lightning you can take that other 27k and build a fucking crazy lightning that would smoke a srt10. imo i would get a lightning cause i'm a ford person the only thing dodge that i would drive is a cummins. I saw a stock srt10 ram and a brand new stock f350 7.3L race at the track and that f350 beat the ram but about 2 car lengths. I know the guy that owned the ram prob didn't know how to drive.
