The rear is the 6" drop, the front is the 4" drop, I.e, 4/6 drop. You're golden, level! Unless there is a total misunderstanding in your messaging, you're good. Going to look great on a SC Ram with some SRT Rims! It sure looks like someone already lowered it, the front at least. That's already sitting lower in the front than my 2/4 drop with 22" SRTs on 285/45. I'd check on that, you might only need to deal with the rear and return that IHC parts order?????

I bought the 4/6 ihc kit and put it on , but the truck doesn’t have the 6 inch drop in the back. The truck looks like it’s sitting on a 4/4. I put the kit on exactly how the instructions told me but only thing I didn’t do was cut the springs. Just wanted to see other peoples opinion on how I can go lower the back.

You have to cut the supplied rear springs. Out of the box. They are 4 inch drop springs.

Cut 2.5 coils from the right (passenger) and 2 coils from the left (driver). That should give you approximately 1.75 inches of additional drop. You can then cut more if you want. If you cut more. Cut 1/2 a coil at a time.

The reason you cut them differently is compensate for the weight of the fuel tank.

Here's mine. I have a half inch rake rear to front.

I'm down 4 in front and 6 in rear
