    Rear Lowering Shocks

    No I’m not sure. I used Maxtrac adjustable lowering struts up front.

    Rear Lowering Shocks

    What’s your suspension setup?? I was originally at a 3/5 IHC and I’m now sitting at 4/6 drop. I’m running the IHC cut kit relocation brackets and completely removed my rear bump stops. By the sounds of your situation I think shorter shocks will help. I do recommend the TD709 from QA1 but I...

    Rear Lowering Shocks

    Alrighty guys.. I figured I’d update this thread since I’m almost done with the suspension on my truck. Rear lowering shocks that work for 3/5 or 4/6 lowering kit on the 5thgen will be the QA1 stocker star double adjustable shocks. Part number is TD709. The shocks come with 3/4” eyelets for...

    Lowered Laramie Sport

    You can buy progressive lowering springs for the rear of your truck. McGaughys makes a set for the 4th gen rams (09-18). They will work for your truck and will give you 2” of lowering in the rear. If that doesn’t level out your truck then you can cut them to your desired height. Here’s the...

    Lowered 5th gens?

    I’m on a 3/5 IHC drop with 22s and 305/40. I took the factory mud flaps off and I don’t rub. No trimming required

    Rear Lowering Shocks

    I’ll try and get some later in the week! I live in Canada so roads are full of salt and snow lol. Supposed to be high 40s by Wednesday so snow should be melting.

    Lowered 5th gens?

    Yes exactly and the helper bags I would still get even if you don’t tow or put a lot of weight in the bed. They also help from the truck bottoming out if you don’t get the cut kit brackets for the upper and lower rear control arms. Honestly I can’t answer the first part of your question lol I’m...

    Lowered 5th gens?

    IHC and Maxtrac both make great kits. The only problem with IHC is the shocks. So I suggest upgrading them and getting the helper bags for the coils. I tow and put my atv in the bed so the air bags help a lot and keep the truck sitting level!

    Lowered 5th gens?

    I’m on a 3/5 IHC drop with borla atak cat back. Clearance is very tight lol. I have about a 1/2” clearance from the tail pipes to my spohn panhand bar. With my helper bags in the coils I’ve never had issues hitting my tail pipes.

    Lowered Laramie Sport

    When I did my 3/5 drop the axle shifted 1/2” to the passenger side. I now have a spohn adjustable panhand bar to recentre the axle. I’m unsure if you’ll need it for the 2/4 drop.

    Lowered Laramie Sport

    D Do you have a parts# for those QA1 rear shocks? I’m a 3/5 IHC drop and I’m in need of an upgrade. I’d love to get the Viking double adjustable rear shocks but they don’t fit the 5thgens unfortunately.

    Rear drop shocks

    I’m in the same boat as you lol. I have a 19 sport on a 3/5 IHC drop and not much luck for rear shocks for the lowered 5th gens as I understand. Guys running the 2/4 drop can run bilstien 5100 series off a ranger. Part #24-185684
