mcgaughys 2/4 deluxe kit

[15ramrt]

whos running that kit and how do you like it? i probably shouldve asked this question before i ordered my kit but its still worth asking.

only negative thing I have really herd is that since it is a spindle kit up front it pushes your wheels out a little bit.

I have had that kit on my truck from the 1st week i had it, 16 months. Rides great , looks even better.

Aside from the front wheels sticking out, it is a nice kit. It doesn't sit quite as low as the Belltech, but it rides nice and is easy to align.

I'm running that kit. It does push your wheels out about a half inch on each side. And like Matt said it don't sit quite as low as the Belltech kits do.

is it the increase in track width up front obviously noticeable?

The fronts don't tuck into the wheel wells anymore. I just run a 1/2" spacer on the back to even it out and have been this way for 2+ years.

Sorry, don't have any with me for another week as I'm out of town for work.

Yes they have, several 4/6 dropped 2wd rams rolling around with spindles/trimmed springs up front and trimmed 4" drop springs in the back. Going that low you run in several issues that affect the ride quality though and really require some fab work to make it right.

im not trying to go that low. if anything i would cut the stock springs an inch maybe and same in the rear. but im gonna get the truck tomorrow and ill see how it looks after it settles. as far as the rear spacers, did you get extended studs in the rear?

Did it on my 2013. Had the front dropped 4" and the rear 5". Plan on doing it again to my 2015 when I get the money.

sooo....... the trucks been lowered for almost a week now and even though it rides great, im not fully satisfied with the stance. i want the front end to sit a little lower, like another 3/4 of an inch. should i just cut the front springs or does somebody make a 1" drop spring? id rather just buy more springs instead of cutting my stock stuff.


i just came across these. anyone hear about em? used their products?

helper bags in the rear can give you 3/4" gain at 35 lbs or so
