Lowered this Hog using the Belltech 2-3" lowering kit and threw factory 22" tire size on and completely lost the ride! Anyone else have this issue and know of a fix, i am going to begin purchasing shocks/struts and use the complete kit.

It is hitting the rear bump stops? They need to be trimmed in half at least. Do you have some king of mag ride or auto ride? Bigger wheels is harsher ride.

Are you using spindles up front?
Did you have the 22's w/ 285/45/R22 tires on BEFORE you lowered it? Or did you only put those on at the same time you lowered it?

I lowered mine 2"/3" with the Belltech kit, drop spindles up front, used shorter bump stops, free travel mod, and DJM rear sway bar end links and I felt the ride remained the same as stock, just lowered. I also had OEM 22's before and after it was lowered with factory 285/45/R22 tires.

Posting in the correct model year portion of the forum may get you more replies.



Sweet looking rig! Hope you get the ride figured out!

Same here I used McGaughy kit but didn’t do the free travel mod. Did you get shock extenders? The bump stops definitely need trimming.
