    How are the 2019's holding up?

    Could hear a clicking or ticking in front end at lower speeds. Speed of noise changed with speed of truck.

    Front Air Dam Removal

    Yes, the warranty is expired. Truck bought in 2018 and +60k already. Yep, I just need to find one of you guys that stripped one off that will sell and ship it to me!

    Front Air Dam Removal

    Does anyone want to sell their active air dam? If so, please PM me a price with shipping. Or, I’d drive to get it anywhere in the east KS/west MO area. I’m not far from KC. I imagine shipping would be a pain due to size and need for packaging. If you’re curious, water got in mine, shorted, CEL...

    Bilstein 5100

    No idea. I bought my 19 used. Surest way is to call and ask for parts dept. at your dealer and provide your VIN. They should be able to tell you.

    Bilstein 5100

    There’s is a link somewhere in here that someone else posted. I could not get it to work. The info for my truck came from a parts manager at a Ram dealership. I asked about ordering rear coils for an ORP truck so I could lift the rearend an inch. That’s when he asked for my VIN, told me there...

    Bilstein 5100

    Final update on my oddball suspension. I reset the Bilsteins to from #6 to #4 (only lowered it 1/2”) and landed between 24” and 24.5” (depending on side) center of hub to bottom of fender. That’s still roughly 2.5” of lift from setting 4. Again, there are seven, yes SEVEN, options for springs on...

    Bilstein 5100 help, please!

    Appreciate it. The mystery has mostly been solved. Turns out I have a “heavy duty” 1500. It would seem that the heavier coils create more preload than even the ORP trucks. My truck went back in and now it’s set on position 4 and my front is still 24+”. The Bilstein tech I talked to was stumped...

    Yep. .

    Bilstein 5100

    Yep Yep, I thought the same thing. It was the Bilstein Tech that verified it as he was consulting with Bilstein engineers: Same spring length, but more preload would result in more lift. Again... who knew???

    Bilstein 5100

    I do I do not. Honestly, what started me down that path was trying to figure out a part # to order rear ORP springs. Then the parts guy says “there are 7 options for each of the 4 corners.” Anyway, he runs the VIN again this afternoon and tells me it’s a “heavy duty” suspension option (stiffer...

    After 10 emails and pics... I had a Bilstein tech stumped today too. In his words: “yeah, something is not right.” Fortunately he was super helpful and between he and my 3rd discussion with a really helpful Ram parts guy (and several hrs of him making calls on my behalf), it turns out I’m right...
