Belltech 2/4 drop

Just had my Maxtrac kit put on today. They aligned it, but the wheel is not centered. They said it is something that needs to be done at a dodge dealer. Does that make sense to anyone?

Not at all.

Yeah found they were idiots and they also put the ring on the wrong groove in the front strut. No wonder it wouldn't align.

Finally got some new wheels on the truck. 24x10 Dub Skillz in a satin bronze. Maxtrac in the front set at 3", Timber Grove bags in the rear set at 5". Wish I could go lower but I don't have the balls to put the cut style relocation brackets on a lease. Went with the larger diameter tire, hoping to fill the gap a little. I think it turned out pretty good.

I'll be pulling my boat this weekend, so I'll see how it rides loaded up.

Was it at 3/5 on the old 20's? How did it end up towing? How do you like the bag setup? Are you running an air system?

Yes, same height settings with the 20s and 24s, just bigger dia tire with the 24s.

It tows great, beauty of being able to choose ride height. I usually have 30-32psi on the pass side and 40-42psi on the driver side depending on the amount of gas in the tank. I've had it as high as 75# when the pulling the boat and bed loaded. I just have manual fill Schrader valves right now, I use a small 12v compressor in the aux port to add air if needed. Only takes 30-60 seconds to add 20-30psi.

The only issues I have is I think it really needs an adjustable shock in the rear. It feels like the shock can't absorb all the rebounding the rear axle does with the air bag. The other issue that I didn't think about is the fluctuations in bag air pressure based on outside temp. Just like your tires in the winter, the bag pressure goes down, which in turns makes the truck sit lower. Could be an issue in the winter. The best thing would be to get the auto level system Timber Grove sells for the rear, problem solved.

This truck gets turned in this coming May. Not sure if I'll get another Ram or try out a 6.2 Silverado. Because I don't know if I'm getting another Ram, I may put the maxtrac coils back on for winter, no point in buying self level system yet.

Hello All, I used this thread to help me make some decisions so here is my contribution.

I got the Maxtrac installed yesterday. I already had Firestone coil replacements with 2" spacers in the rear so we removed the spacers and let some air out. My plan is to ride like this for a week or so and then adjust accordingly. I am rubbing in the front and we had to keep about -3° of camber to prevent fender rub. Vossen HF6-2 24x10 wheels and Toyo 305/35/24 Proxes ST III tires.

Before pic is with Rough Country 2" Lift Coil Overs and 2" spacer with same airbags in rear. Factory wheels and Toyo Open Country 275/60/20
