Express 3/5 Drop.

03lowram · Mar 22, 2012

I know a few people wanna go lower than a 2/4 drop on their 4th gen. So I went ahead and did a 3/5 drop on my 11' Ram. I used the Mcgaughys deluxe spindle kit. I also added belltech street performance shocks in the front. I have them for the rear as well, but was on a time crunch the day I put the drop on and couldnt get to the damn nut off the rear shock. I needed a 21mm crows foot wrench. Anyways this weekend ill add the rear drop shocks. So far it rides great, handles amazing going around a turn or threw corners. Way less body roll! Im also on OEM SRT-10 22" wheels, and nitto 305/40/22 tires. Right now its a 2.8" drop in the front and 5" in the rear. Its still gonna settle down a little bit.

Any questions about going lower or whatever.. Just shoot me a pm. I dont get on this site to much. Enjoy.

Looks good. I need to do this

You need to! It would set that truck off nicely! I wanted those wheels you have, but went with these instead. I remember you saying their not made anymore..

wow...that makes me want to lower more!

Any rubbing? Whats wheel offset?

Ya want some 'almost perfectly aligned' retrofitted projector headlights? I got a set that'd look great on that truck!

I really like that stance. How much clearance you got for upward travel in the rear? like .000025"?

03lowram · Mar 22, 2012

The offset is whatever the OEM SRT's are. There not fakes. Only rubbing at full lock.. But I never have to turn that sharp anyways. Im on the 305's up front so that doesnt help.

As for the rear travel its not bad right now, but the new shocks are going in saturday.
Got pics of the lights? Im trying to get most of the big things out of the way now.
I ordered BBK headers this week and next week im ordering an edge 28-3000 stall and Ram Air hood.

Headers are in the mail as of now. edge 3000 stall ordering soon, 2010 PCM swap in the works. Paint match the handles and mirrors, and ram air hood. Just to name a few things.

how much did you cut off the springs?

Front is half a coil. Straight across from where the coil ends. For the rear. It's The mcgaughys 4" drop spring so I cut 2coils.

They are Morimoto D2S projectors. In this picture they have 6000°k bulbs with 35W ballasts. PM me if interested.

I was really hoping for a far 'lighter' outcome. They are way to 'dark' so I'm going to retro a set with white paint instead.

Yea I got lucky finding these. I am going to have the rears tubbed a little. I have a photoshopped pic on my build thread. That's where I want mine to sit. But when I got mine aligned they said the adjustment they set mine to was maxed out. So I'll prob have to wait for a camber kit to come out. I don't have the spindle kit soo... Urs looks great tho bud.
