Plan to lower to 3/5 early next month. Going to install the shorter front sway bar links also. Truck rides good with the stock shocks lowered 2/4. I have no issues with the ride. Once I lower truck to 3/5, I see how it rides. I probably upgrade to KYB Gas-A-Just shocks. This is my preference on parts, I won't be swinging the truck side to side or going down a quarter mile. I will update with pictures when complete.

Here is the final version of my Ram. Put some 20 inch SRT's. Installed the Belltech shocks. Ride is much better now. Install went smooth. To install the rear shocks, you need to remove inner well wheel liners. Went to Home Depot to purchase 21mm wrench, cut off the box end side. Need shorten wrench to get to the inner backside of shock nut. Not sure why some people having a tough time removing the shocks. 30 minutes total time for the rear. Front shocks was an easy installation. Also installed the shorter sway bar end links. Removal and installation of parts very easy.

Hey guys, I've got a 2014 Ram Black Express standard cab as well and purchasing oem SRT wheels 22x10s and was planning on just leveling out the rear but I love the look of the 2/4 drop. Don't know much about it though. What parts do you NEED and what parts are just to make it run even better? Thanks guys!

How much better is the belltech shocks vs the stockers. I see alot of guys run the stocks up front. And you did cut your front bump stops correct. Finally did your truck go back to spec with alignment. And truck looks good.

I went Belltech 2/4 with the Hellwig sway bars and Spohn goodies, love the look and new found handling. Yours looks nice, Merry Christmas.
