Doesnt look like it lowered much at all. Did you measure before and after?

Yes, it did 2/4 exactly. It sat high from the factory.

I may one day go back and cut them down, but It actually looks good now, it's just perfect for our Alabama roads.

I will try to take a better pick. I'm def happy with it and I also kept my stock shocks and does not ride bad at all.

Now just deciding to keep the stock wheels or not.

Ok I guess I will add to this thread.
My truck is a 2014 Ram 1500 Crewcab 4x4 and I bought it just under 2 months ago.
It is powered by a 5.7 Hemi with the 8-speed Automatic.
Trim level is a Bighorn with factory options being;
Heated front bucket seats with full center console.
Heated leather wrapped Steering Wheel.
power folding mirrors, power sliding rear window.
Factory Navigation, premium gauges, remote start, then all your power options that come with that trim level.

Mods that I have done;

Swaped out the chrome front, rear bumpers and chrome grill for paint matched ones.
Swaped out the chrome clad 20's for some Powder coated 20's
Lowered the truck with Ground Force 2/3 kit.
Line-x spray in bed liner. Access Lorado Tonneau cover.
Recon led tails and third brake light (not pictured, just installed last night)
Valentine One radar, hard wired into rear view mirror
S&B CAI, Mufflex muffler delete, home made stubby antenna mod.
170 degree Thermostat, Diablo Intune DCX with JG custom tune.

I think that is about it, but more planned.

Got my new tires put on. Went with a 275/55/20. Went with a Nexan Rodian HP. So far the tire rides great and handles well. Comes with a 40k mile warrenty and the price isn't bad either.

Also can't tell really from the angle but got 40% put over my front windshield, yes the whole front windshield. Here In Alabama they do't mess with it.

I had the windshield in my 3rd Gen tinted and loved it. An hour after buying my 14 I was at the tint shop having it done again.

I am thinking about dropping my 2011 RCSB 3"F/4"R by cutting the stock springs. Has anyone done this and how much was cut off to achieve this drop? Did you keep stock shocks? How is the ride? I keep hearing about "death wobble" and dont want anything like that. Any help on here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Guys!

50%

Wanted 40 but it looked like too much of a ticket magnet.

How many miles you put on them and how much settle? Mine looks good with a full tank. When im getting empty the rear comes up too much.
