what's the best lowering kit to buy??

[casper3277]

I wanna lower my 2013 express and I been reading alot about ppl having a wagging issue after using the bell tech 2/4 kit. So my question is what kit to buy that is good with using the stock shocks and that won't have all the wagging problems thanks for any info...

The Belltech and McGaughys are good choices. If you wanna keep your stock shocks, maybe look at McGaughys.
Here they are:
Lowering Kits and Drop Springs

Edit: Spelling fixed

The only way you can keep your stock shocks is to get one of the rear leveling kits or the Mc G deluxe kit. both of those kits will have no wagging problems if installed correctly. If the concern is the ride quality, I'll tell you that the Belltech kit rides pretty choppy and harsh over typical big city pavement. Im fed up with mine.
Ground Force makes the lowering kits for the manufacturers. It's the most expensive, but is supposed to have the best ride.

What about mcgauphys with qa1s? Or beltech and switch shocks?

Sorry, but I have to.

McGaughy's

Pronounced Mc-Goy's. Where Goy rhymes with boy.

^^ thanks Tyler for expanding my knowledge and vocabulary. After a 14 hour shift I can now pronounce the McGaugys!

I know everyone has their own expectations of ride quality when lowering their truck! I will tell you in my humble opinion my 2014 Ram Sport R/T rides better on the BellTech 2/4 (964SP) Lowering kit than it did at the stock height. I did "try" the Street Performer front shocks that come with the kit. I like the ride better with the factory front shocks and the Street Performer rear shocks. As a note, if you do install the front Street Performer shocks, remove the bushing inside the dust cover so the shocks won't walk off the lower mounting bracket. I had both front shocks work their way off the lower mounting rubber bushing. BellTech quickly sent me a new set and suggested removing the bushing in the dust cover when I reinstall them. I like the ride of the stock front shocks, so I have yet to try BellTech's suggestion. I found the BellTech 964SP kit at 4x4autoworks.com for $430.94 with free shipping!!!

I could not find it for that price.

The Ground Force 9864 is $849 on Amazon. The Belltech 964SP is $455 on Amazon. Both are free shipping. Both of these are for a Regular Cab.

I did the belltech 2/4 and kept all stock shocks, rides really good IMO. Better than stock
