Update on Belltech 2/4 lowering kit shock options
2010 Ram 1500 Crew 5.7 4x4
As a previous thread of mine stated, I was getting a rear end wobble/wag in certain conditions. This led me to find others with similar issues and many stating the Belltech shocks that come with the kit just aren't super great. It looked like the QA1 shocks didn't show as fitting our pickups anymore. I spent some time with a QA1 tech and we couldn't see anything that would inhibit them from fitting. So I got a hesitant maybe. I decided to try it.
The QA1 TS905 did indeed fit. I adjusted to level 9. For me, that got rid of 99% of the wag. I only got up to 80 mph though.
7 and 8 got me about 90% there. 10 reintroduced to near Belltech shock levels.
This is a temp fix, as I'd suggest the relocation kit. I'll be doing that down the road when I'm physically able to.
I also got with Viking Performance. Their techs suggested 2 options.
"Looks like we do have a shock in our system for the Rams at that ride height. For our Warrior double adjustables it would be part number B2005. If someone wants the soft ride Voyager series double adjustables, then it would be B1005."
So there you have it. 2 options for those with the Belltech 2/4 lowering kit.
