How low can i go?

[98sinisterCOBRA]

Hey im looking into purchasing a Ram express single cab...for a 4-5 months i will be using the chrome 20in stock wheels...because i want a change...the 'sleeper' look...(i drive a cobra and im tired of standing out and people not wanting to race due to a back bumper that says cobra)...so i want to know how low i can go on the stock wheels without having to due major modifications and not rub like crazy....

3/5

4/6

4/7?

I dont want a 2/4...it is not low enough for me...im 5'6" and i like the trucks low haha, Thanks.

Honestly, I think the largest issue you run into is the rear laterally links contacting the frame pockets they mount into. I don't think anyone has gone more than 5/7 static.

the wheels aren't the issue at all, (though you'll want smaller tires)

On stock tires you can only do 3/5 before you start tearing up tires/fenders in the front.

6" in the rear is pushing it when it come to the upper arms contacting the frame. I tried 6-1/2" and I was constantly hitting the bumpstops/frame.

thanks, is the good ride quality still there?... what about a 3.5/5.5?

I'm at 4/6 with 2" shorter than stock tires. There's no way you could go that low on stock 275/60 Goodyears.

ok, 3/5 drop is what i will do. Is it pretty easy to get an alignment with that drop? thanks.

Since you asked that Tyler did you ever figure a way to fix the camber I need to fix mine bad its eating my tires quick

It barely was in spec and my adjustment was maxed out.

Yeah spindles, but seriously the quickest and easiest way is to slot the upper control arm holes.
