I cut 1 1/2 coils out of the front and have Bell Tech spring relocators and 2" blocks in the rear.
Do yourself a favor, do it right and not like me.........get drop springs and spindles for the front and anything you want for the rear but do "C" notches, you'll thank me later.
Oh, I have 255-60-15 on the rear and 235-60-15 on the front.
Good luck

c-notches refer to cutting a small notch in the rear chassis directly above the axle so that you have more travel with it without hitting the chassis itself. usually when you buy the kit, it comes with suring members which re-strengthen the area that you have taken the chassis material from.
the only thing i can tell you about spring relocators for the rear are to move the leaf spring mounts from the outside of the chassis to the inner part of it, allowing for a wider tire. this sort of application will not change your ability to lower your end so i'm guessing it somehow moves the distance between the two (the front leaf spring mount and the rear leaf spring mount) further apart. using stock leaf springs isn't that great of an idea with something like this, especially after you cut a gash in your chassis. You'de be interested the hear the sound of your leaf spring inverting.
best of luck dropping your truck though. pickups aren't that difficult all around. again, good luck, hope that helps.

92, your thinking of the wrong spring relocators.
The type I have relocate the spring eyes higher not inward. Check em out, 4th picture down....www.belltechcorp.com/pages/dodge.htm
The ram air is made out of 3" PVC, Auto Zone cone filter and a bent piece of steel as a bracket.
Real cheap and pretty easy.
Wher I got my NX from was the cheapest but a very unreliable vendor. You shouldnt pay more than 525+ shipping oh and then 30 to 50 to fill the bottle.

Sorry, but if you have no idea than you probably shouldnt even try it.
Its 2 straight pieces of pipe with one 45 degree elbo and a filter, not rocket science.
If I can find time I will put a pict up in my profile.

"Ram Air", "Cold Air" are one in the same in my opinion.
Some do only refer to ram air is comming in from the hood but I think it can be "rammed" in from the front also.
Just in front of the filter was a plastic plug that I removed to get fresh air comming in from the grill area.
If I am correct most all V8 mags and 97 up V6 mags had the air hat and not the air cleaner like ours had stock.
I just went to a junk yard and got one, it was like 20 bucks.
Good luck.
