    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    I know that the 272720 springs are targeted for 2WD trucks, but as far as actual physical differences between 2WD and 4WD springs they are the same. That said, the spring rate may differ between the two though.

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Biz Jet - I didn't need to cut any coils off of my springs, just installed them and was good to go because I used the MaxTrac 272720 springs. Other members who are needing to cut their springs are using the 272920 springs from a 4th Gen Ram 1500. Take a look at my post further up the page and I...

    In between lowering kit

    @Magna - in case you are still looking for springs there are two sets you can choose from now by Maxtrac (which I believe is the same as the McGaughty just different powder coat color) the 272920 or 272720. The 272920 springs were originally used on the 4th gen Ram 1500 and fit pretty well in...

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Wanted to post an update of my wifes truck with some 22x10 ET-19 wheels and 285/45R22 tires using the 272720 rear leveling springs. The wheels poke out about 3/4" past the factory fender flares, which my OCD will need to address by putting on some slightly larger fender flares, but these wheels...

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Just wanted to give everyone my personal experience and for future people reading this thread. I called and talked to MaxTracs the manufacture (not where most people are buying the springs from) and they gave me some good information on the differences between the two spring sets. Below are...

    Subwoofer upgrade results?

    @Decuchi23 - There really doesnt need to be a "Box" per say, just something that can support the weight of the speaker in order to not place all of the speakers weight on to the plastic cubby in the floor, and something to keep water, dirt and dust from damaging the speaker itself. I plan on...

    Subwoofer upgrade results?

    I have loathed in recent years to build a proper SQ setup in my next vehicle, and recently picked up a 21 Laramie Quad Cab. My plan is to run either a pair of 12s or a single 15 IB. I will be using the floor storage boxes as manifolds and mounting the sub(s) to them under the trucks floor. I...

    Florida Area Rams

    East Orlando here. I bought at Jerry Ulm last week and can honestly say that it was a pleasure to buy from them. My sales associate was Golddie and never felt pressured, he honestly told me "if there isn't anything I like on the lot he would let me know when a new truck arrived per the options...

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Oddly enough, I would be fine with a slight negative rake, as my intention is to find a front spring that provides a 1" drop in the front. I see that alot of members have been interested in doing a 1/3 drop and no one has been able to provide this yet. The fact is, with the amount of spring...

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    So has anyone installed the 272720 springs on their 2wd yet? I'm getting ready to order a set but would like to know if I should cut an extra coil off them prior to installing? Based on what jrw921 was told by MaxTrac these seem to be a "Bit More Conservative"

    Ordered a KAodtech Bypass ... still isnt here

    Does anyone have a number to reach them? I send a message via their website and still didnt receive a response, just an autopopulated email that they received my message. I order mine on March 27th. Not sure where they are out of, but I am in Florida. Thanks for the info all.

    Ordered a KAodtech Bypass ... still isnt here

    Hey all, So I order a KAOdtech bypass about 2 weeks ago and was wondering how long some of you had waited to receive it? I recently found out that infotainment.com is local to me so I can have a bypass the next day, but would rather give KAOdtech my business since I've already paid for it.
