Thoughts on the MaxTrac 2/3 front coil/rear coil kit?

[russdog5681]

All:

I'm considering dropping my '15 1500 Express Regular cab to allow easier access for my wife (she's fairly short). I wanted to get some thoughts on the MaxTrac kit. Anyone running this on their rig? It looks like a bargain at approximately $350 bucks. I'd be curious to hear ride feedback and/or see some pictures. It doesn't look like you need new shocks with this kit. Thoughts? Would I be better off with a different kit?


Thanks all!

Do it right the first time, your truck will still have a rake with a 2/3...that extra $100 added to the budget will keep your sanity.

And this will work on the '15s, as well? I'm assuming no major suspension changes between '14 & '15. I found the same kit on Summit also for about $400 bucks. Not bad!

Sure be exactly the same sir, it's just springs anyhow.

Belltech has a promo of $150 rebate for the month of July, i'd hop on that before it expires.

Which Belltech kit is it for the '15 regular cabs?

Thanks!

NM...find it on their website. Looks like I can pick either the 964SP, 964ND, or 964. Do I need a rear sway bar or anything else with these kits, or are they all inclusive? Looks like everything is included. I'd really like to get some feedback on ride quality if anyone is running this on a similar rig setup ('14 or '15 regular cab).


Thanks, guys!

the kits do not come with the sway bars, but I highly recommend getting them if it fits into your budget.

Got it...and would it be the Hellwig unit to pair with the Belltech kit?


Thanks,

Yup, thats what I have on mine and makes a huge difference. I'm not sure the BT kit I have since it was on there prior to buying it but my truck rides very well, stiff and handles great even with the misalignment of the sway bars.

There are alot of posts by DavidRam on the suspension ins and out and all the diff parts hes tried.

Much appreciated. Thanks! I didn't know you were supposed to do the front sway bar, as well.

Make certain you measure to the top of the wheel wells before you order, no all Rams are 2" taller in the rear, some are only an 1" taller.
I just put a 2" rear lowering kit in mine and now it looks like I'm hauling a load of dirt around with me.
