    Hellwig 7794 rear sway bar install question

    I have the 7793 on my big horn. Cant say I noticed it angles up or down…as far as I remember it sat flat in the box so it shouldn’t matter as far as up or down. I used the oem brackets on my 7709, but ended up using the supplied brackets to on my 7793 and haven’t had an issue. I did retain and...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Still had a gnarly clunk even after replacing the front driver side, sway bar, and link. So I got underneath and pulled the 1/2 inch rear spacers I had previously installed. 90% of the sound is gone.… It was 100% gone until I went through a car wash to get the undercarriage good and wet…and the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed core 4x4 2in rear sway bar end links. Also replaced my messed up drivers side from sway bar end link. Ive had the clunk for a while and was trying to ignore it. Didnt last. While i was under there though i did find out the newer end link i got uses a 19mm nut on the bottom instead of...

    Warning Light Meaning

    From what I can gather by flipping through the owners manual, it looks like the truck is having a hard time determining the trailer length so it isn’t going to be able to help you with any “merge assist” which seems to be integrated into your Blindspot monitoring system.

    What are you towing?

    Love it! I really think 32-33ft is a nearly perfect length for a family.

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    Honestly, I blame being a Jeep Owner. I always feel the need to do something to the vehicles that I own. Thankfully, these springs are relatively cheap in the long run and once I get this dialed in for towing, I’ll go back to working on my beater car.

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    Like I said..i cant leave well enough alone. Went out today to mess with the WDH since now the ball is more that 1” over the top of the trailer coupler…and equalizer wants the top of the ball level or up to 1” over the top of the coupler. It got dark so I had to stop but now that I raised the...

    Front Sway bar links

    🤷‍♂️ glad your experience is different. Theres just a glut of threads about them failing..both the older version and newer…where owners are chasing a clunk and it leads them to the sway bar ends. Im also aware the forum doesn’t necessarily represent the totality of ram owners, more just a small...

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    The 5100s have the ability to be set to anything from stock height up to 2.4in if memory serves. There is a ring system under the bottom plate of the shock that allows you to adjust it. You are also able to take them off and change it, like i recently did, if you want more or less front lift...

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    The 891s would go loose at full drop on a lift, but my shop never reported them coming out. The shop has said the 893s stay in place. And I can verify that as I had to tape my upper spring isolater in when i installed both the 893hds. When i just swapped them out the tape was in the exact same...

    Front Sway bar links

    Seems to me the consensus is that the OEM ones are trash. My drivers side is shot after 23k miles… Some have used the suspension max ones with success. I have a set but haven’t put them on yet.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    RockAuto came through and got the part to me this afternoon. Interesting enough there is a small plate…spacer…whatever it is…that i had to pop off the old one and onto the new. Took my time and worked it off. Then secured it onto the new top plate. Got it all reassembled and the test drive...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Fortunately we have a beater after the fiasco of the truck being in the body shop for a prolonged time last year, and its motorcycle season finally. But im just as annoyed that the bolt is able to be removed from the upper strut mount plate…but apparently they don’t exist separate from the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Im using the billstein 5100s for the lift. The 3rd notch is just under 1” of added height. Double benefit it gains that height by preloading the springs which tightened up the front end a bit. Truck feels amazing now

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    When i installed cargomaxx 351-893xhd springs last week i needed to lift the front some to compensate so it didnt look like an old derby car with 6ft of rake. Added 1in to the front and im happy with the look and drive, just hoping it does slightly better than the hd springs I had in. While...
