Cut belltech rear springs. Sitting at 2/5

[Txhemirt]

You'll want Ryans/Illicits "cut" versions if you're down past 4".The easiest way I've found to install the cut versions,is to drop the diff right out.It makes getting at things that need trimming a lot easier. Doesn't hurt to run a couple weld beads on them along with the bolts,if you have access to a little mig welder.Plan on close to a day to install the brackets,they do take a bit of work to get installed.

man i miss my drop. looks good.

i dont miss that cruise ship swaying from the lower control arm geometry lol. if you don't have them already, get some LCA brackets

Most likely will be going with illicit brackets over Inez. I spoke with illicit and they told me the brackets have been reinforced. Seen a set of the Inez start splitting but from what I understand they have reinforced theirs as well.

The fronts grew in length? I'm jk. Thanks for the numbers!

Haha yes sir seen those front numbers as well. Truck is sitting pretty level though and rides ok

Just purchased the Belltech 2/4 kit & Inez "No Cut" brackets for my 4x4 Rams 1500 Night Edition from Moe's Perfromance... Other than cutting the rear springs did you have to do anything else to achieve 2/5??? Trying to decide if I should just go ahead and get the Inez kit so I can do a 3/5 or 4/6 drop...

I only cut the rears to achive a 5 inch drop in back. I have not done anything else at this time. I am looking at purchasing the Inez cut kit here soon since they are designed for a 5” or more drop. I believe the no cut kit is for 3-4” drop

Tracking all.... The way I understand it is that the Inez "no cut" brackets are designed to bring the wheel back center with the fender well & ensure the pinion angle remains straight. Just wanted to see if you had to cut anything other than the springs. I'm pretty bad with cars and with Dodge finally making a widebody Hellcat Charger- I see a new car in my future as a retirement present to myself in May 2020 after over 25yrs in the military... I want to be able to return the truck back to stock if necessary. Lol...

Looks great. The front looks lower than a 2" drop. Did it measure out at 2"? Here is mine with the IHC 4/6View attachment 153512

Any rubbing up front? What size tire?

 

[monettejb]

Just curious why brackets over adjustable control arms?

The adjustable locating arms,don't address the screwed up suspension geometery that occurs when you lower a 4th Gen.The Instant Center basically points 4 ft into the ground,so there's no chassis rise to plant the tires.The brackets bring the arms back into spec and basically turn the lower locating arm into a traction bar eliminating wheelhop the proper way.The arms will cure the wheelhop,but don't address the high speed wobble that some trucks will have after being lowered

Thank God I don't have wobble cause I be moving fast alot......lol.

Hey Ramcharger60, would you mind "unplugging" your truck when you post it, that electric blue is so blinding! lol

Minor rubbing with 285/45R22. Next set of tires will be 285/40R22
