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.

Do you have a shot from the rear, Id like to see how much further the 305's stick out compared to the 285's.
