    The bumper or the fender ? Can you post pictures ?

    Looking for the best upper control arm

    That will really depends on what setup you have or will have, and what are you doing with the truck. lifted less than 2" you don't even need them, they're beneficial from 2-3" front lift, then you have street only, offroad slow pace which is what everyone with a set of 5100's or Eibachs will do...

    Is there anyone who installed Fox ifp

    You should be able to adjust the collar for 2.5" lift yes, but you'll have to take them off the truck and compress the spring to do so. Where are the tires rubbing ?

    Looking for insights into the Wilco Pre-Runner tire gate.

    You can call Wilco and find out but there are more chances a motorcycle will fit with the vertical gate https://wilcooffroad.com/shop/tiregate-vertical-mount-ram/

    Loose front suspension/tire wear

    Make it a habit to ask for your alignment sheet, you want to see a before and after in it. Also keep an eye on your tire wear in all 4 tires (5 if you have a matching spare and do 5 tire rotations), don't wait 15k miles to look and spot an issue. A fast wearing outer edge is easy to spot...

    Shock absorber top nut install question

    Shock absorber top nut install question

    You'll only touch that nut to disassemble the strut. It needs to be done while the spring is compressed. Imagine doing it with the spring uncompressed. The assembly is under tension so think about what would happen if you try to take the nut off without removing the spring tension? Likewise the...

    Clayton Offroad 2.5" Jeep Gladiator Springs on 2020 Rebel

    To give you an example of the versatility of these Clayton springs since RC have released the 6" vertex shocks for the DT RAM 1500 you could run these RC 6" 2.5 shocks with these springs https://www.roughcountry.com/dodge-vertex-shocks-699021.html?find=2020-dodge-ram-1500-4wd-740521 Their specs...

    Mopar 2" lift, with OPR front spring and 500lbs weight in back of truck

    Did you do the Mopar kit already ? I beleive it comes with 2" rear spacers correct ? Did you do a before an after measurement with the extra 500lbs ? You can do Icons 1.5 springs and keep your 2" spacers, or you can do Clayton 2.5 springs and remove the 2" spacers See here for Clayton springs...

    Bilstein install help

    Look at the 5100 thread around. How many people have done the same job already before you ?. How many are damaging the upper mounts ? I'll show them the instructions, if they still say they can't is either because they may have damaged the nut or the nut was damaged from the factory. either way...

    UCA’s after lift install..

    Your factory UCA's should be ok with 5100's. 5100's are stock lenght struts meaning even if you went all the way to their max lift, the strut shaft wouldn't open longer than what the stock strut will... However that doesn't mean your caster/camber specs will remain stock. As you lift you lose...

    Vibration after Bilstein 5100 leveling??

    It should be a balance issue in that case.. Talk to the shop who did the wheel/tire install and let them know what's happening. What did you change, wheels? Tires? or both?

    BDS 2" coilover leveling kit

    It's priced lower than a King setup cause the rear shocks are Fox 2.0 instead of Fox 2.5, so that right there is $1000 less. Seems a very nice approach though for those who don't need/want the brackets that go with a 6" lift but want a basic turn key option /performance entry package. Ask BDS...

    Vibration after Bilstein 5100 leveling??

    You have to get the truck to the alignment rack after doing anything of the sorts you did in the front. As for the vibration remove the wheels spacers and give that a try. I would think you should have no issues running 275/70/18 without the spacers. Why do you have spacers with that size ? Are...

    TufTruck Coils?

    4th gen Coils will fit so that won't be the problem. Icons 1.5" are 4th gen coils and fit like a glove in the 5th gen. But you wont get 1.5" rear lift if you already had ORP/ORG springs. Icon claims you should see 1/2" more than ORP because they claim their spring rate is a little higher...

    How to level with Mopar lift?

    Remove the 2” rear spacer and install a 1” instead. Trucks should have a little rake unless you think you’ll never a load in the bed :)

    Bilsteins and tires

    That's 300lbs tongue? That's almost a full inch down on stock springs. Put the airbag 1000 kit as suggested in the back and keep them pumped at 5psi when not loaded . They should keep the butt up where is at right now with your boat hitched up to the back of the truck at about 30-35psi.

    Bilstein 5100

    Philip, can you post your ground to fender measurements before and after? Interested on the rear ones more with the Icon springs. You can remove the rear 1/2 spacer (where did you get that one?) and do a 1.5 rear spacer.

    Front wheel alignment or 4 wheel alignment?
