Last week I installed the Inez 4/6 Kit with Illicit cut brackets, Hellwig Rear Swaybar, and QA1 shocks. It looked great, but I always want more, so I had to take it down to 5/7 today. I couldnt be more happy with how this turned out. Tires are 295/45/20 rear and 265/50/20 front.

Ditto on the wheels. I had Boss in the past and they did not fit in the wheel wells, looked horrible.

Question: does your truck lean towards the drivers side. I’ve noticed after lowering the gap between tire and bed on the passenger side is bigger than the drivers side. Weird

They all do that because the driver side of the truck is heavier...gas tank, battery, brake booster, steering assembly, etc...

What I did to correct this is cut more off the passenger side coils than I did the driver side, so my truck sits level on both sides.

No, I'm using 1" Crown coils up front with the Inez control arms.

Hemi450hp, is there any way you can throw a 28 drag radial or track wheels on it with the 5/7 drop? I wanna see how it looks track ready!

I actually just sold my SST track wheels/tires a few days ago. I will be doing a brake conversion in the next couple weeks to clear 15's, so I'll throw those on as soon as its done.

Well shucks! I guess I'll have to wait! If you don't mind let us know what you do for the brake conversion. It seems like that opens a lot of doors for wheels and tires

Find a scale Matt,the drivers side isn't really any heavier then the pass side ,you're forgetting the engine and tranny are offset to the pass side of the truck a few inches,which compensates for the tank/booster etc.,being on the drivers side

My 2015 has the same lean at stock height, lowered, and now lifted...each setup was about 3/4" higher on the passenger side than the driver side. Only explanation for that is added weight on the drivers side.

Ditto, I am very interested in a brake conversion for my 4th Gen.

Find a scale Matt,any truck scale will work,and weigh each tire individually,it might open your eyes up about your assumption the drivers side is heavier:happy107:

Its not just the Ram that leans to the driver's side. Its ALL trucks pretty much. Every truck that I have had (Ram & GM) leans to the driver's side even w/ an empty tank. Stock height, lowered & lifted.

I guess I've never noticed it until now

Question: when you installed the Crown springs what spacing did you adjust the upper control arms to? I heard like 1/2" from the jam nut to the back of the bushing. Can you please let me know... Thanks
