Pics of your lowered Ram

Apparently they got the wobble and the camber figured out. Just ordered it.

Surprisingly i bought new tires and my shake went away. They said the inner side of the tires were bad and causing the shake. And yeah man that would be appreciated.

Sorry for the late delay! Here’s how it aligned. I feel like a moron too... figured out the shaking. Never bothered to check tire pressure from when the tires shop repaired the wheels and mounted the tires. Turns out, having the front tires at 60psi causes a shake 😂 bringing them down to 35 has completely changed the way the truck rides! Just need to figure out new shocks for the rear. The ones that came in this kit are junk!
 
I’m wondering if mixing parts from different kits will work. I want to lower, but don’t want to give up towing capabilities. How about front parts from IHC and rear Timber Grove bags? Steven at Timber Grove said they offer 2”, 4”, 6” and 7” rear drop bag kits for these trucks. Those are 6K lb (combined) bags.
 
Porboy,,,,,,,That’s my Truck you have pictures of, so far I have not seen another one like it. Oh,, my Brother-in-law did the work for me at his shop you probably have heard of him Chip Foose.....

Yeah I still have my maxtrac installed. It's ok for now except for the highspeed wobble that occurs. I'm still waiting on my IHC kit to come in. They said it was on 2 week backorder. I need to buy a new front shock as one of my stock ones is not working. Stealership wants 199 for a shock! I might as well wait for bilsteins at that price.

I have a complete set of front stock struts with springs, everything to just switch out with what you have. They are off 21 with about 3k miles on them. I’ll take $200 for both, you pay shipping.
 
Man, 2/4 is about what i want.. 3/5 just looks a little to low for me.. but seems most people say maxtrac sucks....

That would've been a good deal. I was given some shocks by a member on facebook. I appreciate it though.

It's alright if you're not a lead foot like me. When I'm just cruising i have no issues other than bottoming out at bumps. With my next kit i have helper bags to help with that next time.

Are you having any of the "wobble" issues at higher speeds after your Matrac install, like others have noticed?
 
Did an IHC Suspension 3/5 drop and it turned out great for me. Mine aligned just fine.
Did you lose any turn radius with the IHC kit? I just installed mine right now and i only get one full steering wheel turn. Maybe it'll correct after it's alignment tomorrow.
 
Has anyone just lowered the rear on their air suspension trucks ? I assume its just links ?
 
At this point I'm convinced firestone doesn't know what they're doing. Twice I've taken it and they can't get it right. Going to a local shop my installer recommended. He has experience with IHC kits in houston. Still horrible turning radius after alignment.

Is this with the IHC kit installed? I remember you said you were gonna get one.

Yes it is. I'm going to a local alignment shop that i was recommended by IHC in houston on monday. They said they can get it right.
 
I have not had any wobble issues. But I do need to correct the camber issue I guess I need a upper control arm I’m not real sure can anyone suggest anything

I talked to maxtrac and IHC. The only way to correct it is to go up to 1 1/2 inch in the front strut or buy the IHC upper control arm. I just went ahead and bought an IHC kit. Got tired of dealing with maxtrac. 1200 for a kit kind of hurt but man the ride quality and no wobbles is so worth it.
