Ram 14 Crew 2wd MCG 2/4 drop #44052 questions

Looks awesome man!

thanks man, but i'm not happy with the height of the front since its higher. Wrote the company the other day and was hoping to get some kind of answer. Drop a few hours away today and double check the ride height once again. Its exactly the same so its not gonna sag any time soon. Trying to decide to go lower in the front by cutting or raise the back by cutting the stock rear coils.

p.s. yes i'm that picky a 1/2" is ******* me off lol

Just ran out and measured
34 3/4" rear
34 3/8" front

Cool numbers, look like you more then an inch lower in the front and 3/4" in the rear.

Now not sure the height difference from stock on a 4 door to a single cab. Gf got her new ram after mine was lowered already

 

[lilzilla2008]

This was taken about 5 min after the drop was done, you can see from pic to pic that the front settled, the first pic was after 1000 miles of driving

 

[brad65ford]

interesting, looks like she did drop a little or its my eyes lol, the two pictures have the perfectly the same background

 

[DavidRam]

Presonally, I would not rush the coil cutting... I would give it some time. It will definitely drop some more.
Just hang in there for a bit, your truck looks great!

 

[lilzilla2008]

Really wish I would have thought about measuring after it was done, I'd say give it a little time then make adjustments as needed, got to say yours is the first I've seen where it was level or the front wasn't a little lower

 

[DavidRam]

Here is mine with Belltech springs, the first pic is the day off install. The second and third pic are a couple thousand miles later.
I don't know if the pic shows it, but it has definitely settled.

But like lilzilla said, I have never seen the back lower then the front either...

 

[brad65ford]

Looking good!!! wow they did settle looks like more in the back which would be bad for me. Should have went with belltech, damn :-( Looks like i have to cut the fronts, thinking a 1/4 coil.

You got a great kit with the McG, no doubt about that... Did you hear back from them regarding your issue? Maybe they have an idea or a solution before you cut coils?

 

[brad65ford]

Thanks again guys, i contacted the dealer in which i purchased the kit from chatted about the drop and it settling. Seems its as settle as its gonna get so i'm thinking what i plan to do next. Funny thing is they want to use my pic's for there site which i said sure.

Its finally going to remove the front springs and cut them about a 1/4 coil. Wondering how much it will lower it.

I had to do the same thing
But I had to cut more off because as I lowered the front more the rear came down too

finally someone knows what i'm talking about. What kit do you have, the same as mine?

 

[Exhausted]

I had to cut 1/2 coil on each side to get it level
Here's my old truck

 

[brad65ford]

yup that looks better, is the the MCG kit?

 

[Exhausted]

Yes

 

[brad65ford]

Great now i have the wobbly at 57-60mph :-(

Update

spoke with the vendor and also MCG themselves about this issue. Seems they both have heard about it but do not know the solution. I did have MCG mentioned that the spring rates in the rear are less then the stock which may be causing this issue. This is the first for thinking that. Which makes me wondering if its a shock related issue as well. Going to cut the stock springs and put them in there and see if there is a difference.
