Advice

2013 RC w Hemi of course. I purchased the Belltech 2/4 SPs and added a rear sway at the same time. I'll admit this is my first lowered vehicle, but it rides terrible. Every bump in the road feels like a crater.

I had a local shop replace the factory bump stops w some shorter ones and even replaced the front end links with the shorter one. We found the bushing on the front shock was pushed through and after arguing w Belltech I got replacements ad had them installed but no improvement.

So my question is ... is this the price you pay for a lowered vehicle? Is it worth putting the stock shocks back on? Any other suggestions?

The truck has 10k miles ... 6k since lower.

Ditch the BellTech front shocks! A lot of us are running the factory front shocks with no issues. Make sure the shop that did your install cut the factory front bump stop cups off and installed the BellTech bump stops. Everyones has different expectations of ride quality after a drop. I can tell you that my lowered '14 R/T rides much better than my lowered '08 Honda Accord coupe did. My wife always complained about the Honda's ride. She has yet to complain about the trucks ride.

You may also try the AirLift Durango bags in the rear springs.

The Belltech front shocks are your problem, they are way too soft for these trucks and will ride like hell.

Charon ... what shocks are you running?

I also disappointed with the quality of the ride with stock fronts/beltech rears on a 2/4 drop. The adjustability of the QA1 shocks definitely allow you dial in your level of firmness.
I drove my stock height 07 the other day, it honestly felt like a rolling waterbed, definitely grown to appreciate the firmness of the 2/4 drop
