Yes air suspension is used on luxury vehicles. And no the Lincoln and Ford is not the same as four corner suspension. My statements may be slightly biased because I’ve seen a lot of issues working in the shops and seeing the problems. I lived in Louisiana in 2014 and 15 at a BMW dealer. They...

Oh crap you have air suspension… Yeah that will mess with alignment. Try to leave it in one spot if you can. And again that’s not a ram issue. It’s an air suspension issue. Mercedes, Ram, VW, the brand doesn’t matter. Anytime the vehicle is lowered or raised the geometry is changed. It is...

The Mopar kit is an actual suspension lift as to where the SST is basically a big top hat spacer with UCA (a level kit). The factory shocks really are not very good. You get fox 2.0 that are specifically tuned to the new ram 1500 with the Mopar kit. Also the rear track bar has a bracket that...

I got a Moto fab half inch top hat spacer off Amazon for $20. I didn’t take before or after measurements but I was surprised how well the truck looks after it was installed. Definitely got a half inch, maybe a little more. My truck looks almost the same as yours (white crew cab also with the...

Let me throw something else at you… Falcon shocks by TeraFlex. Do those with off-road springs front and rear. Had 5100s on my last truck and they were nice but I have the ability to do whatever I want For my new truck next spring yet this is my final go to choice even over Bds fox 2.5 reservoir...

Sorry to hear about your alignment issues. I used to work at a ram dealer and it’s very common for the factory tires to last between 20 and 30,000 miles. This subject was just covered in another part of the forum. You’re not the only one replacing tires around 20,000 miles. I just had the...

Discount tire has them exclusively. If one is not in your area you can order them online.

Well that’s good you’re checking the pressures often, but still measure the tread depth across to get the full picture. Sounds to me like these tires are done anyways so it’s pointless at this point but on your next set measure the tread depth across the face of each tire roughly every thousand...

Well good news my goat has not been gotten. And I’m certainly not fired up about anything other than the fact that there are stubborn people that don’t know jack crap about what they’re talking about. There are people on here just trying to get some honest information to help them with their...

Oh yes the Michelin LTX is another great option in the highway tire game. Swing by an auto parts store and get a tire tread depth gauge. It doesn’t need to be fancy it just needs to work. Measure your tires on the outer tread and center tread and four spaces across. Tire pressure fluctuates a...

First off let me say I really don’t care personally what anybody does with their vehicle. Drive it in a lake, I don’t care it has no effect on me. But I’ve always found it personally humorous to listen to people that are consumers believe that they are the experts. I have a degree in automotive...

I was a service advisor for ram and I’ve been in the auto industry for 16 years. The factory tires that come on these trucks are junk and there are a lot of things that can affect it. Hot climate will wear the tires faster. Having weight in the bed or towing will wear the tires faster. Not...

@Aseras - Your warranty is now void - Good luck!

Changed mine at 5,6xx miles - first one was free but the next one would be about $220

Agreed

Yes, so you have the passenger tire version.... got it

Your concerns are valid. My last truck spent a lot of time off road and the ride was much improved with the 5100s. These rams with the coil springs front and rear ride and handle much better then leaf spring trucks. Upgrading the rear sway bar will only decrease sway it will not add stiffness...

Loved the Pentastar when I had it but I’m really loving the 27 to 29 mpg with my 3.92 ORP eco-diesel. Still get 23 at 80 miles an hour. Never gotten worse than that. Funny thing is after that highway run I’ll do a little city driving and my MPG goes up

Well it looks good in the above photo. If you tow that will bring that rear end down quite a bit. Having a little rake isn’t a bad thing unless you never tow and want it level. I had 5100’s on my last truck (15 1500 Ram) and I liked the ride much better. They are stiffer but they are also...

That’s great to know… I wonder if the 2.25” is with the strut spring perch at the accessory location at the very top. I’ve seriously weighed all my options and these are definitely the shocks to get. I was planning on putting my half inch spacer on top anyway. I don’t have a rebel but I do have...
