Dodge Lowering Springs FAQ
Do I need new shocks with lowering springs on my Dodge?
For a mild drop, most people keep healthy factory shocks. For a bigger drop, shorter or sport shocks last longer and ride better, because stock shocks are not built to work that compressed.
Will lowering springs make my Dodge ride rougher?
Usually a little firmer, since most lowering springs use a higher spring rate than stock. How much depends on the brand and the drop, so compare the listings.
Do I need an alignment after installing lowering springs?
Yes. Lowering changes camber and toe. Let the springs settle for a few days of driving, then get the car aligned.
Lowering springs or coilovers for my Dodge?
Springs are the cheaper way to get a fixed drop. Coilovers cost more but let you set ride height and, on many kits, damping.
