If you have dropped your 4th gen 2/4, post the specs of your truck and whether or not you have a wobble.

I'm installing a Belltech 964sp on mine and will post my info once I'm done.

Here's a template so we can have something easy to glance at instead of sifting through posts to get the pertinent information.

Cab configuration:
2wd or 4wd:
Brand of drop kit:
Wobble: yes or no
Speed you experience wobble:
How you fixed it:

That is 2 out of 2 wobble for the belltech on R/T's. Curious to see if anyone with the McGaughy kits have the same issues, because I just ordered mine this weekend.

It's not just the belltechs that are going to produce the wobble. The problem stems from altering the height at all of your rear-end. It throws the geometry of the 4-link out and your axle shifts over.

The "relocation bracket" from McGaughys and Belltech is a band aid and doesn't even cure the problem.

The only member on this forum that I know for sure has lowered his truck properly with perfect alignment is UNBROKEN... no wobble there.

Ive been searching and can't seem to pin it down, but has anyone lowered a 4x4 with these kits? I am only looking for a 2/4 drop. Not sure if you can use the McGhauy's kit with the knuckle and springs? I doubt the springs all around kits will work.

I have a 2012 Ram 1500 quad 4x4
