Your better off to buy the 2" rear spring, as the full spring is rated to carry X load. Same with your stock coils, once you cut them your altering the load rating. Used to cut coils in cars back in highschool because we just wanted to hammer the **** outta them, didn't care about ride qaulity or load rating. Just ride height, but who's towing with an Integra/Civic or Cavalier ?? Not many. Trucks are a bit different.

Alternatively you could cut your stock coils, and add air lift 1000's to make up the carrying/towing difference as well. About $100 cheaper than drop coils. Split the difference either way, basically same result.

A cut coil spring actually gets stiffer and if anything has a higher load rating. A coil spring is basically a straight bar wound into a coil,and has to actually twist to compress. To put that into laymens terms, if you take a 10 ft long 1/2" bar of steel and clamp one end into a vise then get on the other end of it with a 48" pipe wrench and check how far you can twist the bar with the pipe wrench,now shorten that bar down to say 7ft and see how far you can twist it,it'll be a lot less,that's the basic principle behind a coil spring.Most guys don't realise the coil has to physically twist to collapse.

Hey guys, newbie here. Just bought an 18 Sport R/T 2WD. I don't like the rake and want to level it down in the rear. I've owned many Rams before but all 4X4 and have gone higher not lower so this is new to me. What are suggestions to get level in the rear without sacrificing ride too much? Springs only or springs and shocks? My local truck guy is recommending springs and shocks, but I believe he is just quoting something out of a catalog because he specializes in lifting trucks... any help would be appreciated.View attachment 117041

Sick truck bro ! Love that grill

Does anyone have the part number(s) for the 2" lowering kit being mentioned? It's Ground Force right?

Sorry Mike. I forgot the part number. This is the part number for the Ground Force lowering springs only. 2" drop.
Part number,...........91213

Nice truck by the way. Looks similar to mine.

MagicMike74 · Jan 23, 2018

Thank you Tones2SS. I have it on order and it will be installed Thursday. The next picture i take of the truck it will be lowered, de-badged, and have the hood stripes installed. I had the Magnaflow 14" installed today and love the sound. They are also installing the S&B air intake when they lower the rear. I can't wait. I hate the rake.
I am also considering swapping the grill for a 2017 white R/T grill. This new nostril style hasn't won me over yet.....

Hey Txhemirt, you got any photos of your 5" tips? Anybody got photos of 5" tips?

LOL
Awesome man. I chatted with Nick@Got Exhaust.com and I think I'm ordering the kit this weekend. More than likely
I want the white R/T grille as well. I have a different grille than yours as my truck is a 2016 Ram Sport 4X4.

PLEASE POST PICS WHEN installed!!

Love it. My next mod is 5" black tips! Truck was dropped 2" in the rear today, S&B intake installed and had the roof wrapped in matt black. Stripes get installed in AM. Then pictures...

MagicMike74 · Jan 26, 2018

Well, here it is. De-badged, GF 91213 installed, S&B intake, Magnaflow exhaust, top wrapped in matt black, and factory sport stripes installed...coming together like I planned. Next is 5" black exhaust tips and rear bed cover.

Been contemplating extending the front stripes down the front bumper. Any thoughts?

Predat-r, I don't know why you can't see them. Others have said they can. When I look back in this thread, I can see them.
What else do I need to do so you can see them? I'll try again...

OK guys, need your help. Since my lowering kit was installed, the rear end has lifted again. It's up 1.5" from level. All 4 wheel wells were 36" and now the rear is back to 37.5". Anyone know why it would go back up? I brought it back to where I had the kit installed and they said everything was still seated correctly and had no explanation... I have called GF and they are very slow to react and answer. I figured you guys would know more than their CS anyway... Anybody have a suggestion on what to look for? Not going to spend the $400 for a 1/2" drop........

Beltech 2/4

24's should be on by the weekend if they come in like they are supposed to
