Anyone install this kit on a crew cab 4x4. Looking for pics and wheel sizes before i take the plunge

Just a heads up,it will add a bit of wear and tear to your CV's.Not sure how much you use it as a 4X4,but just letting you know the axles will wear a bit more,and you're milege might take a drop.When you drop a 4X4 that much,the CV's start absorbing horsepower to turn,and that translates into usually losing a smidge of milege.You can't run a CV on a sharp angle with-out it taking more power to turn,basic law of physics

Ive been looking for pictures of a kit installed on a 4x4. I want to see how it all aligns up and how the strut mounts..
May sound odd, but I am thinking of using these and modifying them slightly for my coilover adventure.. I may make a end link that uses the strut mount as a connection for the swaybar..
But need to verify the width of the on how it mounts to the frame and get a visual on it

Check with Matt Fikac at Moes. Don't quote on this,but i think you can buy coilovers for the 2 wheel drives now. If you're going radical on the front suspension,i wonder if you'd be better off starting out with a 4X4 frame,a week-end and a couple evenings work should swap a frame,as i think it pays 40 or so hours by the book

I bought a 2016 Ram 1500 4wd with 12,000kms, it came with the Ground Force Lowering Kit 2/3. I removed the kit at 13,000kms and lifted the truck. The kit seemed to work well, ride quality was stiffer then stock imo.
