most of the years trucks(except for the 09's) you can flip the leafsprings. your basic flip kits will drop the rear about 4-4 1/2". Usually,dropping the front 2" will balance it out. A lot of the kits available include the coil springs with the flip kit. I believe the dodge's that came with the strut front ends(06's-08's,I think)will cost a little more.

Look at my sig, that is a 2/4 and my truck in is in a video in the exhaust section for the Dynomax Bullet. And just to avoid confusion you really dont Flip the leaf springs literally, its actually more of flipping the axel, the springs mount on the bottom of the axel. I use to have the flip blocks until i got the SRT10 rear end(they have a factory flip kit) if you do the flip kit i advise to weld the blocks to the axel my would torque really bad and bent the factory perches ontop of my Stock Axel.

Your truck is a regular cab as well, 2/4 really looks good on a Reg. Cab. With some 50 series tires on them.
