Off rd 2 - 36”
Off rd 1 - 35”
Normal - 34”
Aero - 33”
Entry - 32”
Im hoping mine will go lower. The factory system I'm guessing is not releasing the pressure to zero. I will have an aftermarket air controller made by Accuair..

Flufdk are you still making parts for the rear bags yet? If so will you have some available for sale? Thanks

Update: almost 3yrs and 25k miles later, it is time for something new! Rather than a new truck - it’s time for a new look! Looking to swap the 3/5 drop for a leveling kit and some new 22x10 Hostiles on 285/55/22.

Anyone in the market for a used 3/5 IHC kit?

Yes and of course you can buy my 3d parts, but my 3d printer is currently busy printing front splitter. I'll let you know when I have them ready. The price I think is only shiping from denmark which is most expensive. If you know someone or can find a company that can 3d print them in nylon, there is a link on Thingiverse.com

Great stuff, looks awesome. When you have parts available for the rear bags I would like to get some from you. What kind of issues if any did you have with charging the system? Is there any special hardware / software needed? Contact info if needed [email protected]
Thanks, Mark

I have started my 3d printer to print parts for you, which I expect to be finished by the weekend. I will contact you when they are done. :cool:

I just updated my guide here How to lowring on air ride suspension

Update: swapped to a 2” ReadyLift level!

During removal, it was learned that the front suspension was totally messed up! Had a cracked spindle, and bent control arms… probably from the massive pot hole I had hit two years earlier! I had it inspected at two authorized installers, who both said it checked out fine - and only noticed when I had the weight of additional adults in the car (rare occurrence). But, IHC replaced the entire front suspension lowering kit under warranty!

On the way home from the install I stopped by the dealership… and the rest is history! Traded it in for more than I originally paid in 2018 and got almost $10k off a 2022 EcoDiesel. Leveled on 305/55/20 - definitely a different look than lowered!

It is stiffer in the rear. I'm going to try QA1 shocks on the rear to see if that will help. I also changed the sway bar to Hellwig, I think that may have stiffened the rear also. I might try putting stock sway bar on this weekend to see if that helps before buying new rear shocks. I did install Bilstien front struts and springs instead of stock struts and springs. I may have changed to much at one time.
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.

for anyone that did just the 2" rear drop springs:
1. did you have to adjust your headlights to not blind oncoming traffic?
2. was a panhard bar needed/ideal to re-center rear?

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.

I didn't need an adjustable bar for my 2/4 drop, everything came out fine.

And I ended up getting a new truck within a week of changing from lowered to leveled anyway! But, I did end up going the Hostile route!

Nice! I grew tired of the offset and cleaning my truck every time I hit a little water in the road

Picked up my Laramie Sport from the shop last night, it was lowered 3” in front and 5” in the rear with a kit from Inez Hotrods. The front was done with upper and lower control arms, and the rear with springs and 4-link relocation. Tires are 285/45/22.
I have been trying to locate a lowering kit for my 2019 ram 1500 crew cab 4x4. What I’m trying to do is just drop the rear leave the front alone but I can’t find anywhere that tells me how many inches of drop I need or what kind of kit I should be looking for. When I do a Google search how it doesn’t take me to these parts it looks like hockey pucks. Any insight or directions to comport mean I would really appreciate. Your truck looks gorgeous, I love the color and what you did with the rims. Show stopper! Thank you Bryan
