Belltech lowering

[Svt40]

So has anyone lowered their Ram using the full Belltech set yet?

I am thinking about getting the 2" drop spindles and the 4"-5" drop rear so I get a nice 2/4 drop.

Just hoping to hear some real world opinions on it.

If your truck originally came with the factory 22” wheels, you can forget the drop spindles. They will not work. They are only designed to work with the 20” wheels and lower. For some reason, FCA decided to use a different diameter hub for the 22” wheels. Now, you can buy the hubs for the 20” wheels, but to me, the cost wasn’t worth it.

See below to see my experience:

Rock Crawler’s 2/4 Drop Saga

Found these on their website today. Finally. My thoughts: Front - Beltech 2” drop spindles Shock recommendations? Could do Beltech coilovers, but dang $$$$$ Or, with the drop spindles, can I just use the stock springs and shocks? Rear - 4” drop Timber Grove Air bags On-board Air / Self...

I noticed they have notes on their website and install guides now saying no vehicle factory equipped with 22s.

I'm poor so my truck only came with 20's. So no issue there.

Haha, it's crazy how times change. 20's are "small" now but when RAMs first started coming with them, I lost my mind to see 20's on a pickup. LOL

quick question on belltech, im guessing the shock they offer are better than the ones from maxtrac? serious think of swapping out the maxtrac for the belltech, the one that offers 3-4 front and 4-5 rear?

It depends on what you get. I bet a basic strut is a basic strut. Same goes for shocks. But if you are looking at their fully adjustable coil overs, that’s a whole different deal. Fully adjustable (height, compression and rebound) would be the way to go, but pricey.

Doesn’t sound like you’re poor when considering your signature plus looking to lower.

I say wait & do it right if that’s the case. @Rock Crawler has one of the best setups on here - my favorite with air for sure. Check out his build thread.

If you don’t have or want air, then look at @ferraiolo1’s build and the others among the same lowering threads like @1LowTrk @1lowcab etc - can’t remember them all
