Maxtrac 2 inch rear springs and adjustable front set at 1 inch…
Like it. Much easier to get into the bed.
but the front is stiff and jumps around on bumps.

Kits were coming in August when I talked to them a few months ago.

Belltech also has 2” drop spindles which will allow you to lower the front without changing any suspension geometry or effect the ride quality. But, you have to have a truck that originally came with 20” wheels. If your truck originally came with 22” inch wheels, you have to use a lowering strut. FCA decided that the hub sizes needed to be different sizes for some reason.

After reading your post about it I thought that was odd they would do such? I really don’t wanna invest to much since in the future I’m bagging it.

I am not happy with my ride quality.
It was worse in the rain last night.
Seemed like driving in deep snow ruts, the truck would slip sideways. Anything over 45 mph was sketchy.
Looking at it this morning…front tires seem like they are leaning in at the top. Dont think it was like that before the lower struts….
I am going to take it to a shop and see if i f’d up the install somehow….

You need to have it aligned. That would be the first step to identifying any problems with your install

So with my 3/5 IHC do yall think i should stay with my stock 285/45/22 or should i do 305/40/22 305/45/22… would those 305 be too wide for the 3/5 drop? It will be on factory wheels. Let me know what yall think

If I could do it all over again, I would find a Limited without air suspension or drop to a Level 2 Laramie. It's too invasive to lower the air suspension in the rear because it basically needs new bags, though the fronts can be done fairly easily. Sigh. I wish my truck was lowered 4/6...
