How low?

How low is this truck? And what size tires?

I ask because I want to get my truck as low as possible just by cutting springs, and really like the stance on this truck.

Hemi450hp · Aug 1, 2012

That truck looks like it has every bit of 4-5" front drop. That is going to be very difficult to achieve with springs alone.

I'm thinking the body kit helps a bit. Because his tires look about the same size as mine (305/40/22) and I can only fit MAYBE 3 inches up front.

4-5" up front, plus body kit. It looks to have a lot of negative camber in the front as well.
Pretty sure those tires are 285/45/22

Well I guess I'm gonna have to shrink my tires in 60k miles when it's time for new ones! Lol

It's certainly a nice stance. I wouldn't be surprised if that was bagged in the front.

I'm pretty sure this truck was bagged all the way around with the ridetech kit.

those are not 285/45/22 if you look at the truck from a different angle you can see that theyre smaller and you can probably get a drop close to that with springs and spindles up front and out back idk what you can do since most people only do 5 inches at the most

03lowram · Aug 2, 2012

285/45/22 up front and 305/40/22 in the rear

just what I thought...
Heres a link. This truck is from the 2008 Sema Show.

Dodge Ram R/T at SEMA 2008

Yeah I believe it's bagged, very nice stance though!

Totally off topic but does anyone know what wheels those are. They look pretty cool

They are Alcoas, even those are custom for the truck.

I'd say it looks like a 4/6 drop 5/7? somewhere around there, idk about bagged though

Factory 2011+ ram R/T wheels. Except those have the center of the spokes painted

I sure am liking that factory body kit too...

Just wish they integrated the front lip into a whole new cover instead of a cheesy tape on unit like they ended up with. Nothing a lot of bodywork and plasticweld can't fix. lol!

If you go that low cutting springs and it works you'll have a very bouncy ride. The other problem you might run into is compressing the shocks too much. They'll probably bottom out when you hit bumps in the road.

rambob · Sep 13, 2012

I agree, it looks bagged, with the front camber off.

do not cut the springs for a 4" drop.

How low?
