Why So Many LoweringOptions

[stillhomeless]

Hi folks,

Looking to lower my 12 ram with a 2/4" drop. Would like it to ride as close to stock as possible. Any feedback as i'm stumped with all the complaints with belltech,maxtrac etc.
Can i put belltech springs since i have bilstein 5100's on already ?

2" drop spindles will give you the best ride on the front ,as you keep all the factory front components except the spindles. I went through several rear springs and finally ended up using cut down factory R/T springs as they rode better then any of the aftermarket springs .
Helps if you tell us if your truck is 4X4 or 2X4,but the dropped spindles will work on a 4X4,as i repurposed my drop spindles off my old 2X4 and reused them on my 4X4.The red truck in the photos is a 4X4,the white one is a 2X4

Hmm ok good to know. My truck is 4x4. Hella clean underbody there.....
I thought the kit rear shocks were all junk but hearing about the springs is news to me.

Thanks i'm what you might say a bit a n a l about keeping things looking good . The truck didn't see all that much winter use out here in Alberta,but it did get used every once inawhile in the winter,but it was always washed underneath,before i put it away after seeing an icy road.
I tried McGauphy's / Belltechs springs etc. on the rear and then went back to my original cut down R/T springs.
I actually got the R/T springs out of the local dealers dumpster after they did a lowering kit on a factory R/T,so they were free,lol
The R/T's use a differant spring from all other Rams,they're a very progressive spring,so you can cut a few coils off them and they still give a very good ride.
I ran bags inside them,to help with load carrying,but they were there more drag racing then anything,as i ran staggered pressures in them to help plant the rear drag radials better at the track. A solid axle always lifts the passenger side rear tire more then the drivers side rear tire,so i ran a bit more pressure in the passenger side bag to offset that issue. Truck gave 707/717 horse Hellcats fits at the track,alot of my Hellcat buddies wouldn't line up against it. Unless they were better on the tree then me,the truck would embarrass their Hellcats
