lowering my 4x4 quad cab possibly

[RamIt22]

Does anyone have any pics of their 2012 4x4 quad cab lowered only 2" in the rear? I'm wanting to get rid of the factory rake and I'm thinking ill like the look of the rear dropped 2". Does anyone have any pics or opinions? Thnks

Personally i would level out the front, especially on a 4x4

 

[RamIt22]

One of the main reasons I think I might want to drop the rear 2" to match the front is because I can still get decent mpg that way and I won't have to buy new tires for it to look right. Don't get me wrong I love lifted rams but honestly I will never take it offroad to need the lift. My thought is that even if I "lower" the rear 2" I'm just matching the front so if the front can get through so can the back and I can still use the 4x4 for the maybe 2 times a year I might use it. Any pics anyone? Is there a company that makes just a rear drop for the 2012 quad cab?

Quick Bing search I found this:
2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Rear 2wd 4wd - Rear Coil Spring Kit (2 Lowering - Levels to Front) [Adds 10% Weight Capacity] - TTC-1210L | $338.95

But couldn't you just as easily cut your rear coils?

 

[RamIt22]

I could and I've thought about it but I just like the fact of being able to put it back to stock if I ever wanted to for any reason.

I cut 1.5 rear coils off mine to get the level look. Doesn't really look lowered at all, just level.

i have 2012 express single cab 4x4 would like to lower or at least level it

I prefer the lowered rear look, as opposed to raising the front to level the truck as well.

i would love to lower my quad 4x4 as well, i need the 4x4 for winter but loading my sled into it sucks with the back so damn high. Still haven't seen a kit for the 4wheel yet.

Go for the drop! If it's only a level you want to do, then cutting the springs wouldn't be all that bad of an idea. Otherwise, I believe you can buy a 2" drop set for the rear.

 

[RamIt22]

Yeah, I don't know what I wanna do... lol I LOVE the look of these truck lifted but its expensive to lift it buy new tires and then on top of that your mpg goes down. For now I just want it level but in the near future like around the time when my stock tires are toast I think I really want a 4" lift.

 

[rileybrennan]

Alright I need to get this 2" lowering for the rear. Mine sits wayy higher on the back I think it's because of a tow package. How would I get it like maybe 4 inches lower without cutting... Impossible? Or real expensive?

i lowered a 2011 CCSB 4x4 and it looks fine. debadged so nobody know 4wd lol

It should be illegal to drop a 4x4. So just check yourself into to Jail for 6 months for even thinking it.

You would be suprised at how many drag racers buy 4wd trucks and drop them for performance reasons. Traction can be very difficult in a powerful 2wd, so the best solution is a 4wd that sits low ot the ground.
