- In this video we show step by step how we lowered the front end on this RAM 1500 2wd front suspension using a belltech 2/4 inch spring lowering kit. This consists of shorter springs as well as some other hardware to lower the front of a 2009-2018 RAM1500 2wd truck 2 inches or 2".

give you a shit ton of credit.... no air tools, no million dollar electric tools, just a plug in impact that is affordable, and hand tools... YOU THE MAN!
Thanks for the support! I try to keep it as simple as possible for these videos. My camera had a mind of its own on this one but hopefully it isn't too distracting 👍
Thanks man, you just saved me at least $400 on an install.
Just for everyone's reference, I'm not a mechanic but I'm pretty good with a wrench (I'm an engineer).
I did this install by myself over a weekend in my driveway with only hand tools.
Installed the rear on Saturday, took about 3 hours. No real issues there, getting the fender liners in/out was probably the toughest step.
Installed the front on Sunday, took about 5 hours. I did some steps out of order and had to take everything apart and start again a couple of times, but once I figured out that first side the other was easy. The toughest part about the front is cutting the factory bump stops off or getting the shock back up inside the spring. It takes a bit of twisting, turning and forcing it in to make it through the hole.
Wouldn't have felt comfortable enough to do it on my own without this video.
Anyone else impressed on how close he got that truck to the wall 🤣
Pull till ya but something then back up a little
Nice video man! I actually just removed my factory air ride from my 13 sport this weekend. It was failing too much and I just decided to convert to steel coils. It’s crazy how different the front-end is on my 4x4 compared to your 2wd.
Thanks Dalton! Yeah I had a 6" lift on my 09 4x4 1500 and like you said completely different setup with the shock/strut for the cv shafts on the 4x4. Rear is same though which I'll be posting next 👍
Man thanks for this video bro!! Super helpful and detailed, I just swapped my stock springs to the beltech 2/4 and this was really helpful!!! Saved me a lot of time
Looking good brother! Been watching your videos for a long time and you finally convinced me to get a 5.7 ram for myself. Deep cherry red crystal.
Thanks Dusten for the support! Thats awesome man congrats! These trucks are definitely fun to mod! 😎
Great video. Wish i would have completed this myself but i thought it was harder. I paid 400 to have a shop complete my lowering installation. Great job and video
Thanks Billy! It's not too bad but it is a bit time consuming doing it by yourself. 😎
Hey, just updating you on the vibration I was telling you about at high speeds. Family took in to the dealer they did a road force balancing and yeah its 95% better. They told me my rear tire are bad. Just letting you know and thanks for your help.
Awesome glad it was an easy fix and you got it sorted out!!! 👍👍👍
Hell yeah! Jammed in 😈
I think you meant Rammed 🤣
Great vid! Almost identical to the fox and SN-95 front spring install...
Thanks man! Yeah its not too bad at all!
@@BoostedMotorsports new sub btw! keep up the good work!
Dude appreciate your effort but you gotta get a light so we can see and a tripod to mount that camera ,
Did it or does it squeak when you hit bumps. Was wondering if grease had to be applied to coil when round donut looking bushing was applied?
What was the part number for the Energy Suspension dust boot? Thanks
You said you were going to use f150 sway bar links what year going to drop mine next week
Awesome vid just quick question what type
Of bump stops did you use after you cut the original ones out?
And are they necessary to have those Bump stops after putting the lowering springs?
It’s recommended since the original ones will always be bottomed out on the lower control arm and will ride like shit
Will factory 20s fit with the drop stock tires and all?
So this is the same kit you used in the other video for the rear wheels ?
Is there a set up for the same truck but a 2019?
So just changing the shocks don't have to change the springs?
Where did you get those lettering
Question, so basically all the kit is 4 shorter springs? I always have been a lifted truck guy, now i bought a ram 1500 and trying to go your style. And i dont know what pieces or kit do i need.
i see that you are missing some push clips on your left side fender liner, there should be two on the top section where it is sagging
Is there a kit that you know of like this for the 4wd? Having a hard time finding a way to lower my 4wd ram!
Yes sir! Here is the 4wd kit for a quad/crew cab amzn.to/2JMhtuj
I’m looking to do the same to my truck but mine is a 2wd 3.6l v6 I can’t find if the 2/4 drop kit will fit mine I’m guessing everything is the same except for the engine
Check Ebay. I saw one today for the 1500 w/V-6. Tried to copy link but my not so smart phone would not comply.
I have a 16 Ram Sport. Looking at the 2/4 drop but curious if using a spring compression tool would eliminate disconnecting ball joints and tie rod ends?
Can this be done with a spring compressor to avoid undoing the ball joints?
Mike Atherton lol .. no and it’s very dangerous. Doing this without a compressor tool takes maybe 30 mins longer
What size wheels you running brother.
Bro, I have the same truck u should do a episode series of taking one lucky winner, and doing some mods to his or her truck for a special on your show ,mabee a series of 5 episodes...doing small mods ,nothing crazy, bro do u know how big........that would be
Can you tow a boat with this kit
Do you know if they make a 2/2 kit for these trucks? (I know this is an old video sorry about that) but looking to lower my truck just a little bit but also keep that front end rake (I like the way the rake looks personally) cause I intend to still drive it daily and also haul/tow quiet a bit. Just figured I would ask. Thanks for any information you may have. My truck is a 4x4 by the way
The rear is easy you find a 2in drip spring the front is weird because you have struts and they are expensive...
@@abelscaliber7969
To line up the rear axle and have correct the pinion angle, you have to change out the shocks and also install the Rear Control Arm Brackets.
Where you buy.?
I did my lowering on my 2014 and it only had 30,000 on it and the top spring cushion was worse then yours
Could I use my stock shocks ?
According to the website you can but they recommend using shorter aftermarket shocks.
Sell me your stock 20in
Mopar!
Hell yeah! 🤘
