    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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.
