Lowering

Has anyone successfully lowered a 03 2500 4x4 quad cummins Dodge Ram?

I have a garage at work that I am unable to get out of as the slope of the street goes up and as my roof goes under it hits the metal door.

I had this problem with stock tires and now I have 315's which obviously makes it even worse.

Currently I am driving my wifes Xterra to work but she doesn't like driving my truck as it is too big for her.
I fear I am going to have to sell my dream truck as parking on the street around Silver Spring is $100 a month.

Thanks

I have looked into that a little but most seem to be very expensive.
If I can't pay $100 a month in parking (or at least justify it when I could be getting free) trying to convince my wife that spending a few thousand so it can get in the parking garage just seems down right backwards...

Not sure how low you need to be, but if its not much, you could try pulling the spacer between the leaf spring pack and the axle. That should give you about 1-1.5" on the rear.

First off, why do you have to pay to park on the street? It's a freaking street.
