    AIR BAGS vs SPRINGS vs COIL AIR BAGS I THINK BUT NOT SURE OF THE PROPER TERM 2020 RAM LARAMIE 1500 PROJECT

    Nice! No need on the 35% springs, just put 10-20 PSI in the bags. They'll ride better than the stiffer springs.

    AIR BAGS vs SPRINGS vs COIL AIR BAGS I THINK BUT NOT SURE OF THE PROPER TERM 2020 RAM LARAMIE 1500 PROJECT

    I got them because they looked to be the highest quality, no cut/drill set at the time. If you keep your bump stops you can go back to stock extremely quickly. They've been great for me for 5.5 years, and I've had 1800+ pounds in the bed multiple times. I have them linked to a single line, and I...

    If they're for the RAM they're the model Cheyenne linked above.

    I have an Airlift WirelessOne. It's pretty nice, I mounted it under the cab. I used to have the Load Controller in my Titan that had the compressor in the cabin with the panel gauge, and it worked really well. It was just loud as hell when you were inflating the bags.

    Looks like it has all the bolts, but it's missing all the tubing for the air hoses.

    Do they come with all hardware? I paid $400 for mine new from Timber Grove.

    Tablet Holder Size?

    I do still make them, and you can only have so many conversations with a 6 year old on a 10 hour trip. In my case it's trying to hold a coherent conversation with an 8, 6, and 4 year old at the same time. A movie is less stressful on everyone involved. 🤷‍♂️

    Timber Grove bags are the way to go. Solid, no cutting, just pull your bump stops out and bolt them in. The ride is just slightly rougher than stock because you need to keep some pressure in them, but it still rides better than a leaf spring truck. Or a WDH. I got my bags because I haul heavy...

    anyone got an idiot's guide to suspension? 2020 Rebel (not air suspension)

    Aftermarket lifts will be the same among our trucks, you'll just get 1" less overall lift. So if it's a 3" kit for a non-Rebel then it's a 2" lift for us. Compressing coils isn't as scary as it's made out to be as long as you're careful. I've done it multiple times with rented spring compressors.

    anyone got an idiot's guide to suspension? 2020 Rebel (not air suspension)

    5100's, sway bar end links and bushings, tie rod ends, it's easier to get new UCA's than replace the ball joints honestly. The Rebel gets the 1" lift from the springs, so you can set the 5100's to 1" before installing and have 2 front/1 rear. That'll keep a small bit of rake as I have 3 front/2...

    Rear Differential Fluid Change

    The bags are worth the extra charge for the average DIYer. Less than a minute to completely fill the diff vs using the stupid pumps for 10 minutes.

    Drivetrain Concerns

    Just throwing this out there my wheels apparently weigh 31 pounds each, and my tires are 62 pounds. So definitely in the realm of possibility to hit 100 pounds.

    Spare tire question

    I did not want to have a 2" diameter tire difference when I changed tire sizes. Like I said, the 295/70R18 is basically the same size tire as the size @acitalianman13 is getting. If he wants to stick with an 18" spare wheel use that size. Or get a fifth 22" wheel for the spare. Either size tire...

    Spare tire question

    That size tire will fit. It's roughly the same as my 295/70R18. You have to jam it in there, but it'll work. I didn't remove my heat shields.

    Spare Tire TPMS

    34-34.5" is about the largest you can fit in the spare tire location without removing the heat shields. I have a 295/70R18 spare, and I have to wedge it in there to get it to fit. Depending on your math, my tire is 34.1-34.5" in diameter.
