    how often is everyone changing oil

    Carfax will estimate mileage based on standard averages. I get those from time to time about a car that was totaled years ago.

    Adding 285/55/20 tires, any thoughts?

    I had them on a 21 Laramie with no issues.

    Is anyone running the Radar Renegade R/T tires?

    I usually start here and then adjust: Tire Pressure Calculator

    Buying 1st truck - advice on bed length

    If I would have known that the short bed still won't fit in my garage I would have looked for the long bed. But I ended up with a ram box with split tail gate so it was a nice compromise. I'm not sure 9 inches is really that much of a difference for the bed utility.

    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    Here is another vote for the equalizer WDH. However my best advice is never go cheap on the WDH. You really do get what you pay for here.

    Your choice in leveling kit, and would you do it again?

    https://www.airliftcompany.com/workshop/determine-correct-lift-spacer/ But you may be right on the edge of not needing to. Best check with air lift.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    Sorry to hear. My experience has been pretty good. I don't know what happened here, but I would probably do the same thing. Good luck with the Bilsteins if you go that way.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    There are struts for multiple lift hights. 2, 3.5, and 6. These are the two I'm talking about. 3.5 inch : Loaded Strut Pair | 3.5 Inch | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2022) 2 inch : 2 Inch Leveling Kit | Loaded Strut | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2022)

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    That should not be. Did they accidentally send you the 3.5 inch loaded strut? What sku number did you get?

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    yeah it was 2-3/4 on one side and 2-1/2 on the other if i recall correctly.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    Yeah, I bought a set of 1 in spacers for the back that I ended up returning. The camber gets really out of wack until you do the alignment riding on the outside edge of the tire. I am running about 1/2 inch of rake now that everything is settled in. Here is mine before the alignment.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    I have those struts. I am assuming you have done the alignment. mine was 1 inch higher than the back before the alignment. after the alignment I was dead even. Then after settling in for about 1k miles went back for a followup alignment(1 year alignment warranty) and am now 1/2 inch lower in...

    Airlift 5000 help

    Still seems like there was something wrong with the install or the parts. Anyway, hope you get it all sorted out.

    Airlift 5000 help

    I was going to say this. I believe mine are without the internal bump stops. I have read others on here complaining about the bump stops. You didn't change anything else at the same time, like tires?
