Lowered 5th gens?

[Mopar_maxi]

The main thing with the Maxtrac and I'm pretty sure with the IHC as well is you have to clock the rear springs, put them in the right orientation. I think that is where people are getting the weird drivability issues, as mine drives like it did stock.

It doesn’t ride rough with the maxtrac rear shocks?

I mean anytime you lower a vehicle you will pick up some stiffness, it is a little stiffer then stock but in a good way. I've had lots of different lowered vehicles and this is by far the nicest riding one, 99.9 percent of the time you don't even remember its lowered when your driving it, lol.

Those are sharp, almost look identical to the new 2500's with OEM Led's. Do they have sequential turn signals?

Yes they have sequential turn signals.

so with the maxtrac 2/4, there is no ride compromise for the front? and as long as the rear springs are clocked correctly in position (how do you know this? how do you do this?) there is no difference in ride for the rear either?

 

[1lowcab]

It is stiffer but not harsh by any means., and I have hit the bumpstops in the rear once or twice on sharp dips but I don't have my airbags in yet. There is a video on youtube about how to clock the rears, I'll see if I can find it again.

I’m interested in the video too.

I love this look. Are you happy with the ride quality on the MaxTrac? I may have to go this route if the IHC kit for the 4x4 never gets released.

I have a Ihc 4x4 3/5 lowering kit for sale lol

Ihc will ship you the 4x4 kit they don’t post in the website. I have one installed on my 2020 I bought another one for my other truck and it got totaled before I could even install it. So if anyone is interested it’s for sale list price is about 1360 I think 1100 takes it

Ok, here is the vid. The process is the same on the MaxTrac springs.
This is how I have mine and have had zero problems with it.

depends on the springs you ordered. I prefer a little rake which is why I wil be going with the 272920 part number.

I'd like the 2/4 but I also am not ready for the headache of unknowns and poor drivability that comes with it.

I received the MXT-272920. So I assume that will leave a little bit of rake in the back? I will try and get these installed this weekend if I have time...

 

[blue_by_you]

those are the same I ordered and they leave a little rake instead of a full 2" or more drop. i prefer that.

 

[Superslow]

I lowered mine today with the coils. Pretty easy install. Drove it around. Could not tell any ride difference from stock. Once the sun is out and its not pouring I will get some pics.

To those of you who have installed Maxtrac rear lowering coils and airlift bags what part number did you use?

I tried installing airlift part number 60828 bags in the 272920 coils, but they wouldn’t fit in there. They would slide down in the stock coils, the the maxtrac springs were a slightly smaller diameter.

It rides exactly like stock, so very happy with that. I would just like some extra support when towing/have a load.

I do want to do a 2/4 drop. The leveling springs only aren’t enough.

I have the Maxtrac 272920 springs and airlift 1000HD’s. It was one heck of a time getting them in the coils but I got em in and they’ve worked great for over 6,000 miles. My truck does ride a little stiffer when empty but I carry an extra 300 pounds of fuel so it’s not to bad when the tank’s full.

How the hell did you get them in there!? Haha. I struggled to get one halfway and couldn’t get any more, then it took everything I had to get it back out!

Haha! Yeah it was a pain, I saw some videos where people folded the bag like a hot dog and put it in that way. That worked pretty good and once you get the bag about half way in it went in the rest of the way pretty easy. Also try soapy water

Maxtrac 2/4 and love it

I tried to fold but that didn’t work. I didn’t think about soapy water. I’ll probably attempt again when I put the Hellwig sway bar one.

How’s the ride? I’ve heard some people say it’s not that great

Yeah I initially thought I had the wrong springs too since they’re slightly smaller than the stock ones regarding inner diameter. A slippery agent and some patience and you’ll get it!
I’ve got the hellwig too lol, that thing is awesome.
