I looked at the daystars myself, was concerned about extending the bolts like the kit does and what that meant to strength. My thought about rotation is that you would be able to orient the strut as it was originally (not 180) which would keep the angle as it was originally stock, because you...

Is an option to remove the assembly and compress the spring and reorient the top strut mount a bit in order for it to be level and/or so that the top-hat spacer is oriented correctly without 180 degree rotation? What is causing the 1" taller ORP Strut assembly to have an angled top strut mount...

That makes more sense, but I still wonder how it (a very flexible rubber) could be producing that amount of down-force on the grit and grime to cause grooves in the metal, but I could be completely wrong. How long has the top-hat been installed? Perhaps you can watch it and see if it gets worse...

Okay, that's what I thought, so my second (maybe) dumb question is how in the world could it rub that paint off and cause grooves? Are you sure it wasn't always there, and is just coincidentally in-line with where that boot is? Could it have been caused during install of the kit?

Wait, is the dust cover plastic or metal? (dumb question from a guy who hasn't received his truck yet or he'd know).

Were you running the pop sound through the aux cable? I read (and watched on youtube) that burning to a CD resulted in better results, so I just did it that way.

Speaker pop - worked well for me - but I did not use an aux cable, I burned the pop signal to CD (there are audio files available for download) and turned the volume way up and was able to get consistent signals past "good".

No. And it's unclear in all these posts if that is even worth trying to figure out - it almost seems like either the wiring is backwards or the speakers are backwards (terminals are reversed) - literally reading many places where these "alpine" speakers are used across FCA vehicles, and how...

Okay, tried a different title. Just looking for the part number on the little white label wrapped around one of the coils on your front strut, behind the tire, easily visible with a little maneuvering (lol) ;)(y)

Was hoping someone can grab their part number off one of their front springs off the little white tab . Compiling a list of ORG part numbers and want to see if the front springs are also different from non-ORG trucks. Thanks!

Sorry for the resurrection, but I just happen to be researching lifting my truck (like crazy), perhaps leveling it, possibly adding the ORG components, etc - and I came across a find today (while researching speaker polarities, lol). My local dealership has installed a few lift kits, and had...

I can confirm this is the case. The 71-050 and 72-6514 appear to have the same connector, but the wires are reversed.

How much lift did the Tuff Country give you in the front?

Actually, looks like the $1000 increase is only for V6 models. Looks like most of the increases for Feb are focused at V6. V6-focused cash and "Truck Month" don't go together...

Great info transfer here, much appreciated. I'll probably look at picking up tuff country's pre-load spacer and a top-hat spacer, and then from there I can judge how much I wan't to bring the rear up. So I've come up with another observation that perhaps can make sense if I ignore basic...

What's a bit confusing to me is that most are using a 2.5" front spacer to level their trucks, but yet the 3.5" RL lift kit which has a 2" rear lift is also seemingly leveling most trucks. What's a bit confusing to me is that most are using a 2.5" front spacer to level their trucks, but yet the...

Thanks for your feedback. I've done both (complete struts as well as spacers) in the past, and had good success with both, but both were always for tire clearance only and mild (1" - 2"). This is the first time I'm really considering lifting all around. I have read accounts of some issues, but...

Alright, totally makes sense - the tradeoff between not having to break the strut down is that the strut is taller and more difficult to maneuver back into position. The guy from American Trucks I talked to made a huge recommendation that you should unscrew the axle nut and you can gain some...

There are some updates live on the Ram site now. Looks like for me (Great Lakes Lease Cash and Bonus Lease Cash) the lease money went up $1000 (to $4000). Will be interested to see the residual and money factors soon.

Ditto.
