Springs for a smooth ride

[Texjim]

I have a 17, RCSB that I have tying to lower for easy cab access. I was trying to keep as good a ride as possible. I found these springs that I really like after several failures.

The are only a 2" lowering spring but have several tightly wound coils at the top allowing a fair amount of cutting without affecting the ride.
I have no interest in the company just hope this helps someone looking for the same outcome.
The ride is as good or better that the factory spring.
I have 4600 Bilsteins as well.

I just lowered mine 2" the back for the same reason and I really like the ride im getting out of the McGaughty springs I used.

@Texjim, what amount of drop did you get from those springs, and did yours settle any later if you don't mind me asking.
I installed a set expecting at least a 1.5" drop, but barely got 1". I initially wanted to return them until I drove it. In my case the ride is a considerable amount better than factory so I figure I'll keep them and try to trim them a bit.

I was looking at those today, they say they give a 1.5 drop on reg cabs. Currently i have the mcgaughy 44055 and the passenger side is about 3/4 an inch higher, driver side is about where i want it. Torn between getting those springs you linked to or putting stock back on

Texjim, got any pics, would love to see how it turned out on your ride

I wil post some pics tomorrow in the daylight. I cut one coil as instructed and it rides good. It is about 2 inches lower than stock and rides better. The bilsteins helped a lot as well.

IIRC mine dropped 3/4", and I ended up cutting off one coil as well which dropped it another 1/2". I'm starting to wonder if they sprinkled pixie dust on the tail end of my ram at the factory to lighten it up.
As per my usual luck though, I noticed the belltech 2/4 kit rebate offer shortly after I started this endeavor. I'll be starting over and taking another route.

You guys should go with Inez hot rodz suspension kits, they retain factory springs and shocks plus your front wheels will not lean and stick out past your wheel wells... these kits also help maintain the correct pinion angle for your rear end. (Vital) or the death wobble begins...!

Expensive but worth it, unless you like replaceing hubs, spindles and other major parts depending on how much you guys cut off of those springs.

All I've seen of their stuff is lower than I'm interested in going. I did find a post about a set of their upper control arms that someone used with a 2/4 drop to correct the alignment. I am interested in a set of those, but only a facebook page for a business website is a joke.

EDIT
Had trouble reaching them by phone for a couple days, but finally got through and got a pair ordered.

This is how it sits with one coil cut.

Will the death wobble/hubs/spindles things happen if just install these 2" drop springs on my 2014 SLT Quad?

there is no such thing as death wobble on a truck with independent front suspension. It happens on truck and jeeps with solid front axles.

No death wobble on mine but it is independant so I would not expect any.
