    Finished Build: 2021 RAM 1500 ORP Suspension, Tires & Wheels

    Did you have your wheels/tires on the stock suspension at any time?

    Lift for rear Bilstein 5100s question

    Why are you trading it?

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    they are SL 4 ply tires. The truck came with Wildpeak SL’s stock, could they be that much different? Not that I’m doubting you!

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    I’m still not 100% happy with the way the thing is driving. It has to be the wheels or tires. You don’t think +1 offset wheels would make the truck feel kinda unstable do you? It’s almost like my body gets wobbled back and forth when I hit certain pieces of pavement. The steering wheel is...

    I meant built to serve edition lol - What offset are your wheels?

    There we go lol. That’s how I had it. Did you lift is that why you need the adjustable trackbar? I have a factory lift (built to serve edition) but I assume I still go with the oem replacement? Did the track bar make any difference?

    Wait you might have done it different than me. In THAT photo, right to left is it, bolt, washer, Hellwig, core, spacer, washer nut? I had it like this (see photo). That's how he does it in the install video:

    I initially put the spacers in but it was weird because it caused my end links to lean in a bit like: \ / - if I didn't use spacers they were parallel. Definitely more firm with the spacers. I torqued the top bolt and the bottom bolt to 65, is that what you did?

    Will do! Thanks for all the advice everyone.

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    Core says 65 so maybe they were just too tight? I took advantage of their Black Friday sales (today) and got the next step up end link with Johnny joint and a trackbar with Johnny joints. 1.) I love the way the blue end links look so I want to have them! Stupid I know. 2.) Since I was...

    Not to get off topic but I had a terrible experience with Brink. I ordered a set of wheels from them in the summer and when they arrived the paint job on them was horrendous and one of them had a bent lip. They offered me 15% off and said I had to buy another set since I waited 3 days to take...

    So here’s what’s weird. I swapped the the end links and the ride is noticeably better. The stock end links have a joint on them. The Core’s only have poly bushings on each end. So I lost articulation I guess going over rough roads (MI has some of the worst). I put my PSI up to 40 and that...

    Makes sense thanks! I’m going to play with pressure today and put the stock end links on and see if that helps at all.

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    I’ve never had aftermarket wheels on any car I’ve owned, so obviously I have no experience with offset. I figure these guys with the -44 offset giant tires sticking out don’t complain then +1 should be fine. I’m starting to worry I made a mistake.
  15. Detroitmikeb

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    Thanks for the tips! I’ll try more PSI today. I still have to try original links too. I really think it might be the links. I don’t have the oem wheels/tires :(

    Anyone wanna help me with this mystery?

    OK I will try to make this detailed but short. My truck has 5,000 miles on it. No issues at all. 20’ wheels 275/55/20 tires. Suspension wise it was all stock and I added a hellwig sway bar and ran it on the middle setting for a while but didn’t drive much. I saw some people use CORE 4X4 end...

    What's your favorite low-cost Amazon upgrade?

    Don’t you guys have a coin holder built into the slider on the truck?

    Those of you who replaced the front bushings, what torque specs did you use when bolting them back on?

    BWoody Sway Bar Links with Hellwig Swaybar

    Stupid question about the hellwig. How do I know if it’s centered? I loosed all the bolts, hellwig and core and put the spacers back in… one of the core end links was closer to the end of the hellwig than the other and I had to really jam the spacer in. Do you just adjust and eyeball it?
