Apologies in advance for the long title, didn't want to make two threads.

Question 1
I've read some conflicting information. Who here is lowered and added durango airlift bags? Has anyone taken before/after measurements? Did the addition of the bags increase rear height?

Question 2
Who here is running BT 2/4 drop? Did you see 4" of rear drop or is it closer to 3"?

airlift bags in the rear, you can get also 1" lift with them. Never really measured the drop because I was happy with the way it looks.

Are implying you can achieve 1" lift with the bags at a high(er) psi.

The reason I ask is I've got 1" drop springs in the front and only want a max of 3.25 in the rear otherwise the back will be lower.

Belltech 4" rear coils will get you a full 4" rear drop. You can lift it back up using the bags though. My truck lifts 1.5" with the bed empty and the bags inflated to 35psi.

The 4" rear drop kit 5318 should pair up well with my crown front springs and durango bags then. Uh I should have really bought a complete kit instead of trying to save a few bucks!

I hear you...
A couple of US dollars or 19 dollars Canadian
Sure was easier put it together when it was closer to par

yep, i'm on a 2/4 drop, they are worth the little extra $'s

thanks for the info,

do you have the standard bags for the Ram #60818,
or the Durango bags #60824 (suggested for lowered rams)?

How does the Crown Suspension springs up front ride?
