No sag in mine actually. That pic was kind of on a small incline!

No axle issues, no wobble issues with the 2". Everything is perfect.

I have the McGaughy's 2" drop rear springs on my 2012 Ram CC. Recently installed front and rear Bilstein 4600 shocks. I like the ride much better than oem shocks.

Man I'm slacking, i need to install my 4600s. I have the McGaughy's 2" drop springs too on my 2010 CC. Did the overall height of your truck change after installing the 4600s? All i want is a better ride haha i dont want my truck to be any higher...

The ride height stayed the same with the 4600's. IMO it rides better and is more planted. Still comfortable.

Make sure you have a 21mm Crowfoot wrench for the rear shocks top bolt/nut. I made the mistake of taking everything apart and couldn't get that top shock bolt off and had to order a 21mm Crowfoot wrench on amazon.

I was changing my brakes over the weekend and i saw how it was impossible to fit a wrench in there haha i was thinking about cutting one in half. I didnt even know about that crowfoot wrench...Ima get on of those instead. Thanks for that info bud

I have the same setup on my 4x4. I really want to install the 4600s on mine. How hard was the install for the front? I feel like the factory shocks on the front ride like crap.

Sorry my truck is 2wd so it was only 3 bolts total but the 4x4 install doesn't seem too bad after watching youtube of the process. Def need a spring compressor for the front shocks/springs for 4x4. Good luck
