Anyone know what I'd need? I currently have 2"-2" all around and plan on another 3 next year when I change out the leafs. My dad just got a Hellwig for his 04' ram Cummins and what a nicely engineered product. I didn't see one listed under Hellwig's lowered section.

Any knowledgable help would be appreciated

 

Less than 30 seconds of google and....

Rear hellwig.

Eibach front and rear.

eibach have a rear made for flipped axle.
Have mine in the box for 3 months, but didn't have time to install yet (got busy with rebuilding my bike)

 

Sorry for the long delay... I'm just so busy. I don't have a flip kit, would the bars still work? I'm just confused if the end links would fit without any issues

 

Sorry I write eibach but it's belltech!

2" drop I wouldn'T worry about fitting issue. but if you go 3" more... then a belltech for flipped axle is the one you need.)

3" with lowered leaf? Personnaly: I would never do that.

 

Why not lowering leafs?

Also could the endlinks just be changed when I go lower?

 

Personnal preferance (lowered leaf aren't as stiff as stock one, and I still use my truck to tow, haul stuff (motorcycle mainly) )

yes it could work...but I don't know the bar routing of the hellwig.
It wouldn't work on the belltech regular bar(5548) cause the bar goes around the top of the diff pumpkin and would hit the bed on a 5" drop.. when hitting bump.

Edit: the hellwig rear should work since it's rear facing and not forward as the belltech one's.

 

Interesting... I'll keep that in mind.

So you think the hellwig will work OK? I might call them to be safe

 

I send them an email a while back.
the won't guarantee any fitting other then stock.

I'm sure they would fit *** is, but would be better with shorter link.
The worst that would happen: you loose your spare tire.(but i doubt it will)

 

I keep my spare in the bed anyways so no issue there

 

Forget about the belltech 5551 if you have a flip kit on a 04-08.
It doesn't fit at all...It ride on the fuel canister bracket constantly.
And the bar would bottom the axle 1" before normal(the bar is routed between the frame and axle)

 

I'm going to use drop leafs. Waiting for a response from hellwig

 

The 5551 Belltech Rear SwayBar : Finally decided to give it a last shot under the axle.
It fit my 07 rwd with flip kit

The bar under the axle and met the link just over the leaf.
the only thing to do modify is to unfold the parking brake cable support(passenger side) and bolt it on the other side on the differential bracket.

 

Take some pics maxpat82.

 

Way easier to install underneat the axle then over






2nd pic: The truck is raised(wheel in the air) and it doesn't touch the leaf at all. When back on it's wheel..there's still 1,5" of space between.

4th pic: That's the parking bracket cable support bracket repositionned on the other side. didn't pic of it unfolded though.
