Skid plates for aerodynamic improvement under the truck?
There's a guy on here (forgetting the name currently) that was using skid-plates - both aftermarket, and some home-made out of thin aluminum sheets, to improve the aerodynamic drag under his Cherokee, could help with the Ram as well... It won't be huge, and probably not as big as an aero-cap for the bed, but could gain you a little if you want to go through the time/effort.
If you make a type of belly pan following the lines a skid-plate would, you'd improve airflow without really cutting into your approach angle, etc. Not as effective as dropping it, but it would help while keeping it a truck. Looking at doing something similar to my Suburban when I get the chance... but I'm a new lurker here, too.
