    Install help - Air Lift 1000

    I wish I would have known - I have a set of spacers in the garage I'm not using as I put in Eibach springs

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Eibach 1” springs and rear shocks. Have the front adjustable struts too but haven’t installed them yet.

    Play in Lower Control Arm Ball Joints

    No way to remove a ball joint from an aluminum a-arm. The bore would be damaged and the new balljoint would never fit right.

    Install help - Air Lift 1000

    No avoiding removing the springs to get the spacer out. If you remove your shocks and disconnect the sway bar to let one end of the axle droop you may be able to remove the springs and spacers. Sometimes you have to force the axle down with a jack. You will have to jack up the truck and put...

    Install help - Air Lift 1000

    You definitely have some type of spacer in there. Excuse the picture as the tire was in the way, but it appears the top of my coils spring is sitting higher in the perch. The hole in the top is just barely larger than the fitting on top of the bag.

    What's hanging from your mirror?

    A cross I received at the completion of a two year lay ministry course. It's a good reminder to be cool when I get cut off in traffic.:oops:

    Trailer Brake Light Issue

    Co-worker with a 2018 HD had a similar problem - it turned out the 7-way had an internal problem with one of the pins being bent and not connecting. The back of the receptacle had to be removed to find this.

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    Just ordered front and rear shocks from Eibach. I will use them with the factory (non-ORG) springs up front, but Eibach 1' springs in the rear. I'm not a fan of the level look and I don't want it pointing to the sky every time I load up the bed. The Quad cab is not listed as an application so...

    DIY brakes

    I think the OP was referring to the caliper adapter bolts. They are listed in the posted torque chart as needing replacement

    Cross country car towing with a leveling kit

    If you like the level stance when empty I would suggest adding air bags instead of spacers in the rear. It will make the truck more stable when towing if you increase the air pressure in the bags and won't affect the level stance when empty if you lower the pressure in the bags. You should...

    Do you carry a floor jack?

    I know they do have brackets to hang them vertical - used in race car trailers - so there must be a way to do it correctly. It should be okay if you have it right side up.

    Do you carry a floor jack?

    FYI - if the rod end of the hydraulic cylinder in the jack is facing down you will get air in it that will need to be bled. Movers screwed up my jacks coming down from Canada because the had them stuck in vertical to take less space. I thought they were shot, but bleeding the air and topping...

    Front Leveling?

    Thanks - it looks too crude to be part of the factory strut, but I don't have a picture of a stock one

    Front Leveling?

    Purchased this truck used so I don't know its history. Does this look like there is a spacer on the strut?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    And who says black trucks don't photograph well???

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    For payload, maybe, but I have the 3.21:1 gears so it's not perfect for towing - especially with the 33" tires that came on it.:ROFLMAO:

    So you want to tow a camper! Discussion thread.

    I got that with the VIN, but I just checked the door sticker and it says the same. I have to laugh at the passenger capacity...I don't think you can fit three adults in the back of a Quad cab!

    Power Folding Tow vs Manual Mirrors

    That's a useful image Konrad! - at first glance it looks like you can see more in the regular mirror, but in the tow mirror you can see farther behind the trailer
