    2" level, 35x12.50 tires rub

    Can you take before and after measurements? I think you're going to run into an issue where the bilstein's spring perch doesn't fit the fox shocks on the Mopar kit. During the install, you have to remove the spring perch from the shock you are replacing, and put it on the fox shock - my rough...

    Alpine 9+1 system "Subwoofer" findings, polarity, and options

    I wish I would have measured the "potential" depth of the box (with a spacer) to see if the Pioneer could drop in. They can be had for like $75, so it might be worth it to try and see. Do you think the third channel would need a dummy load on it?

    Alpine 9+1 system "Subwoofer" findings, polarity, and options

    So I put the CDTs in the front doors this afternoon (in-phase) and it sounds really good now that everything is in-phase.

    Alpine 9+1 system "Subwoofer" findings, polarity, and options

    Pulled the factory sub box last night after checking the polarity and found it to be out-of-phase* like the rest of the speakers** (see the other posts on this "phenomenon") - The really weird thing is that the sub terminals themselves were wired backwards (black wires were positive); I'm...

    Off Road 1” Lift

    That's because you have the Protection Group.

    Rough Country Leveling Kit

    I can attest that my 285/55R22 (almost a "35x11.5R22" for comparison) Terra Grappler G2s that I finally put on ride great, they are not harsh at all. Are they a "little stiffer" that the 20" Bridgestones, yeah, but I mean a little. The truck still rides fantastic. And funny thing is the PSI is...

    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    Yes - 1" factory + 2" Daystar = 3" over "normal" height, so UCAs are highly recommended.

    Readylift 3.5" kit on Offroad Package

    Yes, most likely because they don't have new UCAs in their kit - their 2" spacer plus the 1" factory lift really requires new UCAs.

    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    Just wanted to add some additional info here. 1) the factory top-hats have no angle to them, you could orient them any way you wanted as they wouldn't produce the cant. 2) The spring isolator is indexed, so if you were not careful and the isolators were not installed correctly, they could cause...

    Readylift 3.5" kit on Offroad Package

    Summit racing. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/dys-kc09139bk This is the kit on Daystar's website: http://www.daystarweb.com/productdetail.php?productID=1690 You'll see a lot of misinformation about the kit - It's not a 2.5" kit, though many advertisers and even Daystar has is listed that...

    Readylift 3.5" kit on Offroad Package

    ^^^ This. That's exactly what I just did this last weekend. The Daystar kit is quality, quiet, and an easy install. Left me with about 3/4" rake since I was only at about 1.75" rake to begin with.

    THEY FIT 35X12.50X20 NITTO TERRA GRAPLER G2

    Still waiting for pics. I installed 285/55R20 Terra Grappler G2s (34.3"x11.6" tires) on +15mm offset with a 2" front lift and I have very minor rubbing.

    2" Mopar Lift

    I've only ever seen 1/4" spacer, and 2" spacer and up- though the Readylift top-hat seems to be more like 1.5"-1.75" lift. You can't add less than something like a readylift because the stock top-hat studs are too long - and you can't really trim them down because you want a few threads above...

    2" Mopar Lift

    The mopar is 2" front and 2" back, so generally another 2" would be needed to get a true level (if you had a 2" rake to begin with). But 2" on top of 2" is too much lift in the front. I wouldn't start with the Mopar lift if leveling was your end goal - unless you just didn't put the rear spacer...

    Finished her up - Flame Red Laramie Sport lifted, wheels/tires, debadged...come on in

    That's the factory soft tri-fold. Works well.

    Finished her up - Flame Red Laramie Sport lifted, wheels/tires, debadged...come on in

    Yep, passenger side, last bolt to torque. Stupid mistake, was in an awkward position and brought all my weight down on my pinky. Crack.

    Finished her up - Flame Red Laramie Sport lifted, wheels/tires, debadged...come on in

    Finished her up today. Only war wound, and it was a big one, was a crushed/broken pinky finger (slipped a torque wrench with all my weight and my pinky took the impact...spent the evening last night in the emergency room). Daystar 2"/1" mild lift, KMC 22" Wheels with 285/55R22 Terra Grappler...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Well, here's what I did yesterday - finished putting in my 2/1 daystar lift and slapping on the wheels and tires (see below), and on the VERY LAST bolt (lower shock, truck as on the ground) while trying to torque it down in an awkward position, I unfortunately slipped my pinky under the wrench...

    2" Mopar Lift

    Is your truck riding like it did when you first got it, or is it still not right? Have you went to a dealership and drove another one to make sure? I ask because I’m wondering if all the stuff you had done wasn’t done correctly and still hasn’t been done correctly.

    2" Mopar Lift or 2.5" Level

    Measure your rake first if you go with a level kit to determine how much front lift you want. Make sure you measure both sides on an extremely level surface. If you only want a little bit of lift and don’t go off road, the cost difference between a front level and the mopar lift kit is huge...
