quick question… will the 4WD kit work on a single cab? I have a 17 express single cab

its perfect height. I plan on doing this to my truck as well. this video helps with assuring these lowering kits are an easy install. thanks john

[@user-david6265]

Get a RC car it will open your eyes to the automotive world how easy cars are I told myself doing bearing were easy 😅

[@SM-em8yr]

Looks really good! something tells me the guy that had that kit cut a few coils cause my 2/4 kit doesn’t sit that low and don’t forget to check that cross member in front of the gas tank probably really close to the drive shaft.

[@silence3314]

Yup mine doesn’t sit this low either. I want it a little lower but I don’t wanna pay that much for the 4/6😂 and yes my driveshaft rubbed the crossmember when I first installed it

[@81jorge]

Same here. When I saw the video pop up on alerts, I thought it was a 5/7 drop. Good looking stance.

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I double checked. No cut springs. What size wheels are you guys running cause these 22s fill the wheel wells more usually. They have 285/45-22 tires

[@erick5.789]

Mine sits that low with the belltech 2/4 drop

[@brycecannon5297]

@@BoostedMotorsports i have a friend on a 2/4 drop on some r/t 22’s and his doesn’t look nearly as low as yours, not calling you wrong but it looks awesome regardless

[@TheRealRobM]

Mike, would love to finally see someone install one of these Bell Tech 2/4 kits on a 4wd with factory air suspension. I badly want to do this to my 15 longhorn and rid it of the air setup but don't even know the extra pieces I would require outside of the kit. Contrats on the channel, the house/shop and move. you've helped so many of us for so long with our Rams. Love living vicariously through you Sir. I bet I lowered 10+ 2wd Dakotas back in 'the day' 99-04 just like this. Keep up the great work!!

[@halecj1]

Looks sick man but I'm biased I have pretty much the same truck! I did this install on my R/T about a year ago, and when I got to installing the front shocks I ran into the issue you described but I didn't know I could just take off that cap so I'm still running the stocks in front. Looks like I have a project this weekend!

[@rickybell162]

I looks just right at that height, everything you do is top notch attention to detail. You've given me inspiration with mine on this build. I will keep watching, thanks for all the videos and info. Looking at pics of a new belltech rear spring and looking at yours, if you count the coils it does appear they've been trimmed a couple. Would like mine to sit about there.

[@froddoyo]

Just did this to my truck and this video helped a ton! Thank you, the results are awesome! Just gotta take it for alignment and she's good to go! I also put some air ride air bags in the rear (ones for a durango fit best for lowering). Thanks john! ❤

[@fatpugg3507]

I have 2014 Ram RT, and seeing your progress really giving me ideas, mostly the headlights and lowering 👍👍💯💯

[@djmjr77]

I was always told to tighten the panhard bushing once the truck was on the ground so it is not twisted. Looks awesome!!

[@Darylrb1983]

Had a belltech kit on my tbss. Loved the price and the handling

[@stormbreakerram9526]

I would love to see how it looks with a 17” drag pack. Build is coming along well bro!! Keep it up

[@BoostedMotorsports]

Soon!!

[@BigDude624]

I have 22” wheels running 305 45 with the 2/4 bell tech drop. I asked the shop to cut an inch off the rear springs to make it look semi leveled but yours looks a lot more lowered than mine!

[@tonyg_777]

His are also cut ✂️

[@andyandroid5345]

I did this same mod! I miss my 12 Ram 1500 ST so much! Everyone who has the crew cabs btw the kit is different than this regular cab reg bed! check part numbers!

[@WillSawyer-ts9zr]

Gotta 2012 ram single cab 1500 with 2/4 had the kit on for about 2 years now and the ride is trash I just recently bought some more bell tech street shocks but I don’t think that’s gonna solve the problem any advice on how to get a decent ride quality out of it ?

[@raytrujillo6828]

Great job on lowering the truck Jon. Looks awesome. Maybe I’m in the minority here but I think the 20” wheel’s from the eco diesel would look better on this truck. They would look better proportioned on the single cab truck. You would save some weight too. Less rotational mass. I hear those 22” wheels are pretty heavy.

[@michaelguillory3100]

After doing 4 of these kits on 4th gens I’ve learned that putting shorted sway bar end links improved the ride and handling.

[@KJ-wo2iy]

Is that for front or rear sway bar links?

[@michaelguillory3100]

@@KJ-wo2iy you want your sway bars to sit level. Most kits only come with end links for the rear.

At least the bearings are super easy to change on the 2wd rams.

Guys i have a 2018 ram 1500 2wd regular cab, i want to drop the rear 3 inches to level the truck, any suggestions or ways to do it ?

[@djmjr77]

Just traded in my 2014 ecodiesel that I had that 2/4 kit on with 24s.. got a 2018 1500 limited with the hemi, it has air suspension.. so need to figure that out how to get it lower safely.. that single cab looks awesome lowered!! Ok, now do the intake!! 😁😜

[@albertaguonjr6716]

So, I noticed during the montage that the rear passenger side wheel was kinda sticking out of the wheel well. Why is that? Maybe I’m seeing something but, it does look like it’s out about an inch, inch and a half maybe?🤔🤔🤔 Please let me know before I buy this kit🙏🏽 Other than that, you’re killin’ it bro!💯 Keep it up!💯👍🏽😎🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽 Albert J.

If you want the rear wheels to be centered in the wheel wells then yes you’ll need the relocation brackets.

[@tonyguerrero3702]

@@seshions thanks

[@sadsciuidae3425]

what year ??? this is easy build ... I have a 2019 Classic and on FRONT put 2 in (really 1-1/2) drop spindles, the 2 in (really 1-1/2 in) Belltech springs and kept the 17 in rims with 225x 60-17 for a total FIVE INCHES in front. Had to remove the air dam. REAR put in the springs which were ony a three in drop and then kept the smaller 17in rims with 225 X 65 -17 ... very disappointed in the kit. I cut out the rear bump stop perches and often the axle will slap the frame on big bumps. Im gonna have to do a frame knotch to get the axle at least another inch lower HOPING for two, with a different set of springs. Very disappointed in the BellTech kit measly-weak-ass shocks .... have to replace fronts and rears each year. NOTE on Rear ... I also have a Decked system with a 1000 pounds of gear to keep the rear lower BUT still want TWO INCHES MORE.

Dam John the thumbnail looked like the Kota!!!!!

This was a pretty good video. Your instructions were great. How was the drive after doing the installation? did you have to add any air bags for a smoother ride? if you added airbags did you do the install yourself?

First I put the McCarthy 2 4 drop and I got the death wobble at 80 mph that when I put the 5 7 Inez I guess that’s what I get for cheaping my drop
