2/4 drop? Post your info here!

[Etroze86]

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

Tripanio has dropped a couple of 4x4's and he pops into the forum every once in awhile.

wobble

2014 R/T
2/4 McGhaueys drop kit, bell tech shocks. Wobble horrible at around 75mph
replaced rear sway bar large improvement but still wobbles around 95. Just did spohn pan hard arm. Slight improvement but wobble is still there.
When the truck was stock height I hit 130 with no wobble. Has anyone completely corrected this problem?

I think Ground Force is one of the few options for 4x4.

Model 9984 fits the 2012 quad cab.

Does their kit have the bracket to read ajust the rear bar to keep it level?

Have the parts to put the shorter Ford F-150 front sway bar end links and beefier quad cab rear sway bar on. Just have to find time to install them.

Installed the Belltech 964 kit and aligned. Wobble at about 70. Looked underneath and found no panhard relocater bracket, looked in the box and found it - installer missed it. I installed it myself. Wobble still there but starts at 80.

Installed the Hellwig sways front and rear...no change in wobble. Changed shocks to Monroe, wobble still there at 80 but much less apparent now.

Swapped rear springs to Ground Force 3" drop and left the Panhard relocater bracket in place. Viola. All wobble is gone, axle is more centered front to rear, ride is better. Installed the Moog shortened end links on the from bar, no effect on wobble - but tightened up the steering response.

2012 Sport CCSB 2WD
Belltech 963sp
Slight wobble at 80+ ( not enough to worry about anymore)

Ordered my kit when belltech said it still wouldn't work for my truck and there was no option for the relocator bracket. I've since ordered and installed the relocator bracket and the spohn adjustable panhard bar. Rear end is now centered and those two parts made a tremendous difference. Wobble was out of control before installing these. I'm happy now

Looking into making it 3/5 and adding the spohn upper and lower adjustable arms out back
