Did your lowering springs have to settle?

[BigMike71]

I installed what is supposed to be a 1/2 drop on my '15 2wd Hemi crew cab over the last two days. I am only getting about half an inch in the front and 1 inch in the back. Springs are 1 inch lowering from Crown Suspension front and 2 inch Maxtrac in the rear. I also installed new stock size Bilstein shocks on all 4 corners.

Will is come down more after it settles? If so how long should I give it? Any ideas?

Springs usually do need to settle a little. Also, if you changed rubber isolators that can have an effect on height...

I've been trying to get a hold of Crown... email, Facebook messenger and I called on Monday afternoon... no answer...

I'm looking at a 3" drop front spring from them but I wanted to know the real specs before I order.. I want to compare to Belltech 2" springs. Belltech has a different spec for four door trucks vs. regular cab trucks....

Spring rate #
Number of coils?
Free standing height?

Please keep this thread updated … How did you measure the drop? Wheel arch to ground or wheel are to wheel center?

Do you have any pics? Looking to see how the 1” drop up front looks. Also did they settle?

After a 900 plus mile round trip I still get the same measurements of .5 inch in front and 1 inch in rear measured from ground to top of fender/wheel well.

These are after driving approx 500 or so miles. The truck is dirty but should give an idea.

I feel that they should have come down to the 1" mark by now. This worries me as I wanted the 3" drop front springs from them and I have a feeling that they aren't going to give me a real 3" drop, especially since I have a RCSB and not a CC truck... and they still haven't answered any form of contact... fb messenger / email / or answered a phone call...

There is an old post where a guy with a crew cab stated 1.25 inch drop with the Crown inch springs. When I emailed to inquire about mine getting only a half inch they were of little help. I actually felt blown off.

The rear springs came from Maxtrac.

They bothe have a good ride with the bilstein shocks.

Both companies said the springs have to settle.
