To answer the question from Vista 84:
Hard to go that low with an R/T without serious mods such as a 'c' notch in the rear frame. This is due in part to the larger diameter axle tubes and the fact that an R/T is 1" lower than a 2wd Sport. Remember too, that tire/wheel combo will limit the drop as well.
2/2 is easily achieved, though, with spings in front and hangers/shackles (or blocks) in rear.
Good luck.

Replace the front hanagers with your stock ones.... Leave the drop shackles out back. It will have a little bit of a rake after the coils settle. If this is too much rake add a 1'' block...cheap and easy, 1'' does'nt affect ride qualilty. I drove like this on my 00 r/t for 40k on stock shocks. Re-placed with belltech nitro-active and honeslty did not notice THAT much improcement NEVER bottomed out tho. Looked and rode good.
