Default Lowered Ram Fail!

Well I know we have some very smart people who post and read Dodge forums. I own a 2008 Quad Ram which I lowered back in 08, It was a Ground Force kit which was a whole truck. Now my truck has dropped another 1.5 inches in the front and with the bad roads the front tires are hitting the wheel well liners. Anyone else see their front springs fail after a few years? I have tried to call Ground Force and no answer today. Need some help please.

Not much anyone on here can do for you other than recommend going back to stock or keep calling them until they answer.

Thanks, just wondering if it is common that springs would fail.

my opinion.. different company but YES .. I installed aluminum spacers.. till I decide the next company... did mine in 05.

I had a 2 1/2 inch drop in front (spring only) and 4 inch drop in rear..
mine is not hitting the wheel well.. but close.

Do you still have your stock springs? I'd bet cutting one coil off would give you a 1-2" drop, plus it would be free...

Well it was all taken care of this morning, Ground Force is going to warranty the springs after almost 8 years. I just pay shipping and do the install. Thanks for the help..
