Time to lower, and get aggresive.

So I am gonna lower my 12 Ram 2/4. I was thinking of going lower, but with Alabama roads the way they are I stick to 2/4.

I'm looking at running a 10" wide wheel. Actually looking to run a BMF Novakain wheel on it. I know that is usually a 4x4 wheel but after seing a few on dropped trucks they look amazing! I have also yet to see one on a lowered Ram.

My questions what is gonna be the widest tire I can go with on a 10" wide wheel lowered 2/4. I will also more than likely stick to stock offset.

A 10" wheel will be very wide on the fronts, what is the offset and backspacing on the wheel? That would determine how wide a tire could be fit as well as what tire diameter you're looking for.

Does BMF even offer the Novakane in our bolt pattern? Last I checked, they did not.

Well I am now disapointed. The Novakane is not offered :(

That sucks man. Finding awesome street wheels that fit our trucks is a real *****...

Most of us go with the Belltech kit and maybe tweak it a little over time, lol. :naughty:

I think the biggest diffrence may be the BellTech Kit comes with shocks. Like David said, most go with the BellTech and tweak it over time. Simple tweaks like shorter front sway bar links really make a diffrence.

What do the shortened sway bar end links help with? I have the Ground Force 2/3 kit with the shortened rear links.

Better geometry by bringing the front sway bar closer to level. You definitely feel the difference when cornering...

I seen MOE'S has the belltech kit for 409. Maybe they will be open tommorow and I can get them ordered. Give me something to do when I'm off the rest of this week.

Be sure to look at which shocks are included... I love dealing with Matt at Moe's - hands down. But the $409 is for the kit with the Nitro shocks. The kit with the Sport shocks is $70 more...

Best price I'd found with the Sport shocks when I did mine was here: Belltech 964SP Lowering Kit With SP Shocks
