Hey guys,
I have the Mcgaughys 2/4 economy kit on my 13' ram and was curious if the Belltech street performance shocks would make the truck ride better?I didn't expect the truck to ride like stock after being lowered,But my 08 Tundra was lowered 3/5 on 26's and rode 10x better than my ram.Thanks for any input guys!

How bad is it buddy? I will probably never lower it. Already have a lowered car. Don't want to go down that rode yet.

My friend has his leveled on 22s and I got to be honest. It rides pretty stiff for a big ass truck.

i put the belltech shocks on with my mcg kit... i dont think it makes the ride any better.. but im sure someone will chime in and say it was the greatest thing ever installed...
mine has been lowered for 18months, so ive had some time driving it like this... and yup... its not that good.

For me the street performance shocks suck right now I have qa1s in the back and should be putting the front ones on tomorrow there not ready out the box you need to find new bushings for the rear or i machined new sleeves to fit in the current bushings that's the back I'll see how the front goes and comeback if its a good improvement so far the back is good but Idk yet since I still have the bell tech up front

You guys are about talking me out of lowering mine, I like the ride I have now and would really prefer not to mess that up!

i put the street performance on mine and it helped a little. the airlift 1000 helped much more. i was hitting bump stop alot with stock shocks, rarely with the street performance, and never with the air lift 1000
