I’m looking at getting the Mcgaughys 2/4 lowering kit for my 2014 ram crew cab. I keep reading about the front wheels sticking out farther than the back wheels because of the front spindles. Is there anyway make all four wheels flush and more uniform

Staggered offset rims are your easiest option. I narrowed the spindles on my truck 0.600",but it takes a machine shop to narrow the spindles and caliper brackets,where as staggered rims are just a bolt on.

I just finished installing the McGaughys 2/4 drop kit on my 2019 RCSB
I don’t even notice the front wheels sticking out a bit more. Thought it would bug me but it doesn’t. Kit was fairly easy to install. Directions were horrible. Hardest part was cutting off the rear bump stop cups
Also installed some energy suspension front urethane bump stops.

When I had to look at their site they show one kit with spindles and the other with spindles, which is the preferred ? 2 wd , advantages of either. I said to myself after the 6.4 intake swap I was finished, now I have to see this post and my brain says never stop !!!

I went with the drop spindles. Like the fact that the factory shocks stay.
My truck is 2wd. It looks great. Easy to get in and out of the drivers seat.
