Default Lowered Ram

I Lowered my Truck with photoshop, I wanted to see what it would look like.
I ordered the Ground Force lowering kit #9984. I’ll post some real pics after it is installed.

Anyone else have any photoshop pics of there truck!!

Looks good. But I dont think the front will go that low unless you cut some coils. I know you have a 4X4, but Im pretty sure the GF kit is 2"-4". I did the McGaughy 2"-4" on my CC 2X4 and the front is a bit higher than the rear. Some one needs to make a 3"-4" kit. Good Luck

Love those wheels. How many miles do you have with the lowered kit, and how do you like the ride? Also can you hear more road noise? I really like how quiet the factory ride is.

Thanks, they're 20x9 replicas.

About 2000 miles but that was a 4" drop with only cut front springs. I've since put back on the drop spindles and cut about 1.5" from my stock springs. I couldn't get just the 4" aligned enough and the tires kept hitting the top of the inner wheel liner.

Ride is more sporty, not as soft as factory but still a lot nicer than my previous 2500 with 6" Superlift and 37s.

No change on the noise. I reused the factory rubber coil isolators which help keep the road noise/vibrations out of the truck.

I do plan to go lower but it will take bags as you can't drive with the front much lower with 33" tires.

Please post pics when you are done installing. I have a similar post in the general discussion forms, I wanted to know what my black sport CC would look like lowered with the GF kit too, and I started taking some flack for wanting to drop my 4x4! Either way, now there's at least two of us wanting to drop our 4x4's. Good luck and be sure to post those pics!
