I haven’t. Just around the block. Here are the measurements. Remember I already had 2in drop springs in the rear for the initial measurements.

He has the same exact rear setup as I do. I’ve been 100+ with zero sway or any issues.

I'm gonna have to give that a shot so I can get my Hellwig bar back on.

The panhard bar isn’t at the ideal angle but I have had zero issues. Also the IHC 3/5 kit doesn’t even come with a relocation bracket. These trucks don’t seem to be affected as much as the 4th gens are with the panhard bar angles. Also in this picture I was laying on the ground so the angle looks more steep than it truly is

I just installed my core 4x4 lower control arms. They definitely planted the rear end a lot more now too. I love how this thing rides and handles.

Is the ride quality the same or better? That's the only thing I don't want to suffer. They look great lowered.

Better? No, same, kinda.
The 5100s give a more controlled ride. Less squishy than the Oem shocks.

Report back when you get a few road miles on it. I’d like to know how it rides and handles.
I’m currently on a rear level, but wanting to do a 2/4.
I lowered a 3rd gen ram and not wanting to have the same issues I had with that truck. This truck is too nice

I have about 700 miles on my 2/4 kit. I love it. Driving around you can hardly tell it’s lowered. It drives great and handles perfect. I think the bilsteins really made all of the difference.

I have a little over 3k miles on mine with zero complaints, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
In fact I'm getting ready to go lower.

Haha. With the stock tires it makes me wanna go lower. But once I stick my 305s on it. The fender wells will be filled in nicely

I might be just as eager as you are. Can't wait to see the final product!

Time to pack some insulation between those studs and heat your garage. It's 20° here today and my garage is a toasty 60°. I've spent many winters busting my cold knuckles in a freezing garage. Miserable.
