Sparkchaser, Welcome to Ecomodder. If you do some reading on this site you will find the biggest aerodynamic gains come at the back of the vehicle. It's kinda counter-intuitive. Many pick-up drivers here have used an aero bedcover with good result. The Dodge Ram has huge fender openings so it may help to close those up a bit. I have seem improved mileage with a belly pan on my vehicle but a 4x4 may be more challenging. Do you ever go off road? Do big axles and suspension disrupt under-body airflow. I would start with an aerocap and grillblock first.
