They are designed to go with 4" lowering springs to keep the springs tight in the perch when you raise the truck. If you are running stock springs (un-cut) just keep your stock shocks.
Found a few more photos. I believe I took these before I :superhack: the rear springs to bring the rear closer to level with the front. Truck now has about a 1" rake front to rear and looks much better to me. Doesn't ride any worse than before actually I think it rides better. I'm not a fan...
Here is my 2015 Sport 2wd. Getting a set of 22" RT wheels for it and lowering it 2/4 or 3/5 next. Trying to decide between silver wheels or satin black again. After wheels and suspension I plan on taking out the 5.7 and putting a Scatpack 6.4L under the hood with some bolt ons. Anyways here...
OE Wheels LLC carries them in Black Chrome. The picture looks just like a black powder coated wheel. I hope this helps.

I did my stock Sport wheels in Black and like it. My picture is when they were dark charcoal metallic.
Looks good. What lowering kit did you start with? On the HD conversion what parts needed to be replaced? Hood, Grill, Bumper, bumper...? Thanks in advance
I have looked into wheel weights and tire weights. The 20" and 22" wheel and tire set ups are about the same weight in factory form. Some tires are definitely lighter than others, here are tire weights straight from Tire Racks website.
All tires are 285 45 22

Any chance you can take a quick picture from the front looking down the side of the truck. I am thinking of getting these over the RT replica's but don't want them to stick out and rub on my 2wd. I will either do a 2/4 drop or modified 3/5 drop.
Remove the RAM from the doors and leave the Hemi logo on the fender or just get the black factory semi fender badges. it will be cleaner and still be a little different from the other R/T's out there. Looks good!
If the V6 twin turbo follows Fords ecoboost design it is doomed. I spoke with Ford techs before getting my Ram because I liked the performance of the ecoboost. They mentioned a few flaws with the Ecoboost design, 1 upgrading that motor dramatically reduces reliability and longevity, 2 the...
Looks great and thanks for the info. Are you running drop spindles in front with the shockwaves (if so which ones) and are those wheels 24x9.5 or 24x10 (what offset)? Thanks in advance for the info.
Interested if there is a group buy depending on the price. $500 is steep for 4 brackets and some hardware. If it helps it's worth the buy but I don't know about $500.
Finally a fix for the lowered speed wobble
Don't know how many people know about this but I found a company called Illicit Customs that makes a rear arm relocation bracket to fix the geometry issue on the Rams when you lower them 4" or more. This kit is a bolt in bracket that re-centers the...
Michelin LTX but they are expensive at about $1000 for 4. Last the longest and have the best reviews. The second tire I would recommend would be the Yokohama Parada or the Pirelli Scorpion Verde. Go to TireRack and read the reviews and pricing.
If you still have issues with the truck not sitting close to level on the left and right side. Loosen all the bolts on the rear upper and lower arms and the pan hard bar. Drive the vehicle slowly in your neighborhood and than on level ground retighten (torque to factory spec) the upper arms...
You can get a 305x45x22 which ifilles the wheel wells up better. The 285 is a little smaller but if you do a 2/4 drop looks fine. As far as drop, from what I found the BellTech 2/4 seems to be the best way to go. It is the closest to a true 2/4 drop, the McGauphy's 2/4 is a 1 1/4' front and 3...
Post up the drop measurements after the springs have settled. 1 1/8" drop on a 2" drop kit is a bit concerning. I would have thought the drop would at least be closer to the 1 3/4" drop in the front. With that said it looks good in the photos. I have the same truck and trying to decide...
