I got the h&r springs installed, install was straight forward. The front was 36" before and the rear was 38.5. After the front was 34.75" and the rear was 37". I wanted the rear a little lower so I cut 1 coil out and it ended up at 36". It rides pretty good not much different from stock. Here are some pics.

Looked through some of the pages, but not all 61. I take it no one dropping 3/4 tons? Been looking for drop kits but not finding anything.

I'm aware but the GF is a progressive coil that I can still moderately haul with too...

I'll be adding the bilstien adjustable's up front in the spring (almost winter here) and using a lathe to machine a groove 1.25" lower than the "stock" height groove on them to bring me down another 1.25" and maintain ride quality. Since my GF 2" fronts should be settled now, it should be an inch for an inch now. I'm running a 4" drop in the rear with Belltech's and Airlift 1000's for towing. Nice and low most of the time, and support when I haul (rarely).

3/4 ton trucks may require air ride kits, quick search did not give me much!

Shown here with my current 2F and 4R drop (GF front coils with Belltech rears)

I'll be sure to put up pictures in the spring when I do the front end lower and let some air out of the rear. Should be level, although I may need a small bolt in notch to prevent bottoming out. That 4" rear without the airlift's was rough.

Yeah, that what I was figuring. I probably stay stock height or cut the coils.

Def keep me posted I too want the front a bit lower. GF front also.

Hi all, had some crazy stuff happen and finally had the time to list the GF drop I was running in the FS section.

Here is the thread for anyone interested on a GF drop with extra's

Hi all, I have a 2015 Ram 4x4 and i'm looking for just a simple way to lower the rear 1 1/2 or 2". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Hookie

You need a rear level, belltech, GF, truckspring, etc...

Lots of great info in this thread and via. the search feature.

2014 Express Crew Cab 5.7L

Wheels - DUB SKILLZ 24"x10" +35mm
Tires - Nitto 420S 305/35-24

GroundForce 9984 kit (minus GF shocks)
Rancho RS7000MT Front Struts, and Rear Shocks
Hellwig Rear Swaybar
Illicit No-Cut Brackets
DodgeOffRoad Trackbar and Panhard Rods

So far the Front Struts, Springs and new KYB mounts are installed. The Rear Springs and Rear bump stops are installed. I had to stop for the rear shocks, as the stubby rachet and 13/16" combo I have don't clear the frame rail for the LH upper shock nut.

I haven't installed the bars or the brackets as I may now end up selling the brackets from Illicit Customs and going with the INEZ 4/6 drop kit... Which also will not need to relocate the sway bar end link on the mount either.

So I may have this Spring Kit for sale soon as well as the rear shocks as they are a shorter shock to give more stroke compared to the OEM (just as the GF shock)

Going crows foot hunting this afternoon...

LF and RF both measure 35.250"
LR and RR both measure 35.750"
