Default 2' front belltech springs, 2007 ram, will they settle?

2007 dodge ram single cab, 5.7 hemi.

i have installed 2' drop belltech springs, they already dropped the 2' right off the bat, was curious if anyone has had history with this spring and if it will continue to drop another 1/4 or 1/2 over the next few days?

i lowered the rear 5 and the front 2 with what i thought was going to be flush front/back, but it turned out to be an inch higher still in the front, on 22" rims 305/40/22 toyo proxes.

may be kicking myself for not getting the 3' drop springs...

i'm also hitting the bumpstop over pretty much every bump i encounter in the rear, this is with belltech's included bumpstop, was thinking of trimming it, its about 3-4' in length.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

New spring no matter the application will settle to a certain degree. Higher the quality the less they will sag. The shorter drop springs are actually have a higher spring rate than the OEM spring and should not settle much. If you have not removed the OEM bumps then that needs to be done. Look in the lower thread and there is a lot of pictures and posts covering the subject. Good luck.
