A little context, I have a 6in BDS lift with the Fox 2.5 PE DSC front coilovers. I have upgraded to the hellwig sway bar last year and used the existing BDS replacement end links that came with the kit. I wanted to improve a bit more of the side to side motion and ordered the Core 4x4 Town...

Just had mine replaced with the factory one but looking at the Dorman one due to angle after my lift. Did you end up getting the Dorman? Any issues with it?

Thanks @RamCares My Dealer is great to work with. No issues so far.

Has anyone with 6" lifts had to upgrade their drive shafts? My factory one's boot had a tear and was told that it's because of the angle. I know other people on here are running BDS lifts, so not sure if you had the same issue. I spoke with BDS tech support and they said the drive shaft will...

Took it in today and they are covering it under the extended warranty. They mentioned there are aftermarket drive shafts for the change in angle for the 6 in lifts but I thought the spacer BDS provides was supposed to address that. Anyone ever upgraded their driveshaft?

I finally settled at 3 high and 2 low for all Around street driving. That seems to work for me.

Have an extended warranty. Going to try that route before tackling it myself.

Was it a pretty simple DIY? Just mark the drive shaft location, take bolts off on one end, slide the other end off and then grease the inside of the new one, slide it on and bolt the other end back up?

Count me as a lucky one as well. 2021 with 62k but I have a 6in BDS lift

I happen to be under the truck today making sure my new endlinks were still tight and I saw grease spots on the skid plate for the transfer case. As I looked closer I saw grease slung around on the under body heat shield and I ran my finger across the drive shaft seal and it had black grease...

It was odd, I have been using the same click 1/2 inch torque wrench for 2 years with no issue. I got the nut tight enough with my normal ratchet. When I was applying the torque of 114lbs which is the recommended setting for the top nut for the end links for my year Ram. It was turning with...

Well rookie mistake is what I did today. Was swapping out the front end links and didn’t realize that my torque wrench was broken. Set the ft lbs and starting going at it and just didn’t feel it clicking so I kept going and snap! The second one didn’t feel like it was broken until I went and...

Just to follow up on my post 5 months later. Sent my next oil analysis to black stone and got the results today. Manganese is now back within normal numbers. Must have been some contamination or something in the gas but glad to see all looks good now.

I torqued them to factory 128 ft lbs today. can’t remember what I had torqued them before. lol. I had not used blue loctite since it never asked for it.

How often do you retorque your BDS UCA’s or any other non OEM UCA? Asking because it has been about 5000-7000 miles since I checked mine and I only did because I heard some clunking when leaving my driveway or uneven surfaces. I rechecked the torque of the UCA bolts and had to tighten them quite...
