Honestly, I blame being a Jeep Owner. I always feel the need to do something to the vehicles that I own. Thankfully, these springs are relatively cheap in the long run and once I get this dialed in for towing, I’ll go back to working on my beater car.

Like I said..i cant leave well enough alone. Went out today to mess with the WDH since now the ball is more that 1” over the top of the trailer coupler…and equalizer wants the top of the ball level or up to 1” over the top of the coupler. It got dark so I had to stop but now that I raised the...

🤷‍♂️ glad your experience is different. Theres just a glut of threads about them failing..both the older version and newer…where owners are chasing a clunk and it leads them to the sway bar ends. Im also aware the forum doesn’t necessarily represent the totality of ram owners, more just a small...

The 5100s have the ability to be set to anything from stock height up to 2.4in if memory serves. There is a ring system under the bottom plate of the shock that allows you to adjust it. You are also able to take them off and change it, like i recently did, if you want more or less front lift...

The 891s would go loose at full drop on a lift, but my shop never reported them coming out. The shop has said the 893s stay in place. And I can verify that as I had to tape my upper spring isolater in when i installed both the 893hds. When i just swapped them out the tape was in the exact same...

Did you get the progressive or none progressive?

First pull with the new set up 351-893xhd No weight-stock front F-37 R- 40 1/2 (3 1/2in rake) No weight - +0.9” front (3rd notch) Day of install F-37 7/8 R- 40 1/2 (2 5/8in rake) 1st hook up @ storage F-37 7/8 R-38 7/8 (1in rake) After drive home F-37 7/8 R-38 5/8 (3/4in rake) (1 5/8in...

Seems to me the consensus is that the OEM ones are trash. My drivers side is shot after 23k miles… Some have used the suspension max ones with success. I have a set but haven’t put them on yet.

RockAuto came through and got the part to me this afternoon. Interesting enough there is a small plate…spacer…whatever it is…that i had to pop off the old one and onto the new. Took my time and worked it off. Then secured it onto the new top plate. Got it all reassembled and the test drive...

Fortunately we have a beater after the fiasco of the truck being in the body shop for a prolonged time last year, and its motorcycle season finally. But im just as annoyed that the bolt is able to be removed from the upper strut mount plate…but apparently they don’t exist separate from the...

Where the heck were you hours ago…Ive been angry drinking and aure could hav e used this perspective 🤦‍♂️ I ordered the same part from rock auto and carid…now they get race to see who gets the part to me first. Looser is getting a return

Incase anyone was curious The top strut mount plate bolt is an M10-1.5 and THEYRE FRIGGAN IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND JUST THE GOT DANG BOLT. Super excited about two day shipping a whole new upper plate cause i applied one too many ogga duggas to putting the strut back in.

Im using the billstein 5100s for the lift. The 3rd notch is just under 1” of added height. Double benefit it gains that height by preloading the springs which tightened up the front end a bit. Truck feels amazing now

When i installed cargomaxx 351-893xhd springs last week i needed to lift the front some to compensate so it didnt look like an old derby car with 6ft of rake. Added 1in to the front and im happy with the look and drive, just hoping it does slightly better than the hd springs I had in. While...

Sucks this is happening I wouldn’t say the dealer is necessarily full of crap. Other eTorque members/owners have been sent home to drive it as is until an ET component arrives, but it seems at least the other owners were told the truck is a ticking time bomb.
