i just put a Belltech 2/5 drop in, and it looks awsome, and handles even better, but the front end i thought would drop more, i heard rumors in time after the new springs settle it will, but i dont think it will show much more of a difference, any suggestions on what i could do to get the front end dropped some more without having to buy another kit, i have the nitro shocks in the front, with belltech spring.

I got my rear flipped, took 2hrs but it was my first time. I did without the shackles but it was too low, and my wife had to use the truck so this morning, 30 outside and I swapped the stock shackles out so it raised it up a bit. Here's the deal, I have to swap the front coils out this weekend. They unbolt, and easily drop out when the tires are dangling and the frames on stands, nothings going to shoot out because they are of course underload inside the struts, right? Never done a strut but need to know I'm right and not wrong. I'll the a strut compressor.
OklaHemi, how you been bro?
JusJay727, I ain't forgot about you either. How you been as well?
Tuned93, Hope you stay safe brother. How you been?
N, BTW, I went to my first meet/show for my club lastnight. We had a really good turnout. 27 total club member trucks (all rams), and over 50 club members. We met at a Spring Creek BBQ, and when we went inside to eat, we took up almost half the restaurant! LOL. We did just about take up the entire back parking lot too. LOL. It was awesome!

How do yall go over speed bumps? or do you have to find another route without them?
I go over about 10 a day and was just curious.
