Google "rear lowering springs" for your ram there are quite a few options for a 2 inch drop in the rear.

Cheapest way is to cut a coil or coil and half off your stock R/T springs.The R/T's use a differant spring then the other trucks,and you can easily cut a coil or little more off them.
My 4X4 is running cut down R/T springs on the rear,as i wasn't happy with Bell Tech's lowering springs.

i don't like my belltech rear springs either, if i buy a set of normal 1500 rear springs should i start with cutting 1 coil?

Cut your factory R/T springs instead,they're a progressive spring that won't ride like a D8 Cat after cutting. Think of a spring as a bar about 7ft long,clamp one end of the bar in a vise and get on the other end with a pipe wrench and try to twist it a 1/4 turn,now cut a 1.5 ft off the bar and try and twist it that same amount,takes alot more force to twist after being cut.In laymans terms that's how a spring works,it's torsional twist that collapse's a spring,and your stock R/T springs are actually a longer bar,so you can cut them with-out hurting the ride as much as you would with cutting a stock spring

yeah thats what i was thinking.

these belltech springs are not good, i think i will try some regular 1500 springs and cut them down.

if i put anything that isn't even very heavy in the bed, it'll bottom out

I did the maxtrac lowering springs paired with airlift 1000hd airbags and was great. Did it on my 2015 crewcab 6.5ft bed and really set the look and feel right. Just sold the truck recently so have that setup available if anyone is interested, hit me up. Daily driving felt better over stock, tow/haul unaffected and if not better and I used the truck as a truck.
