I have a question regarding the rear shocks. I bought some from a guy on Craigslist but I noticed that I could compressed them all the way with my hands. Is that normal? I am talking about the belltech street performance rear shocks.

Yes. I can physically push my Street performance shocks in with my hands.

The only regular cab trucks that came with a rear swaybar are the RT models. You will probably want to add an upgraded Hellwig bar as most guys with 2/4 drop kits and no swaybar experience a wobble at higher speeds.

Truck looks great BTW.

Not sure I have had no problems with them.

Ok man I will look in to getting one. Does that also go for a lifted truck as well needing a rear sway bar or just lowered one?

Grey Dodge.. lifted trucks can also use them. I had bought the front and back for a 2014 R/T that I had. I removed the stock ones. I got them from Matt @ Moes.

Like someone else mentioned, any truck whether lifted or lowered could benefit from a sway bar and/or an after market sway bar (assuming it came with the oem bar).

Less body roll and more stable at speed. That is good for anyone.

Yes i did at the first place i went to. They made it worse and tried to tell me they didn't do anything wrong that my truck was worse. i showed them pictures cause i knew he was lying but he still denied it. So i took it to a better shop and in 45 min it was perfect. lesson learned pay a little more and take it to a real shop.

Good to know, I was leaning towards the same kit as well but was worried about getting it aligned correctly.
