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
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.

Sucks this is happening
I wouldn’t say the dealer is necessarily full of crap. Other eTorque members/owners have been sent home to drive it as is until an ET component arrives, but it seems at least the other owners were told the truck is a ticking time bomb.
FWIW
Here is a screenshot from an install video showing the orientation of the upper isolator. His notch is pointed towards the rear of the vehicle..where i have mine pointed inward.
If this is the same across all rams w/o the ORP than i have mine orientated wrong 🤦♂️
NO idea of that matters...
Nope. Stock as heck. I have the the 5100s set to the 3rd notch which is about 7/8th inches of lift. As far as I know they dont need replaced until 2in or so.
I also recommend 351-891HD or 351-893HD. Ive run both.
Both made the ride a LITTLE (intentionally emphasized) stiffer, but really not at all. The truck rides like a dream unloaded with all three sets ive run so far. I routinely drink coffee from a regular open top mug while driving, and the...
I’ve both traveled a long distance for a purchase and used the deal from a long distance Dealership to get the deal at my local dealership in the past
The downside is definitely that your local dealer could be reactive if you looked at them first and then ultimately come to them later with a...
I’ll putting in some new cargo Max springs yesterday I noticed on the inside of my driver side upper perch that it looked like my spring was contacting the perch at some point. I’ve been chasing an intermittent clunk, and I’m wondering if that may have been it…
The install went fine and I put...
351-893HD (top) vs 351-893XHD
Installed the xhd set today, ended up also putting my front 5100s to the 3rd notch (+1in) to offset the rake from all the height gained with the new springs.
My current stats are:
F- 37 7/8”
R- 40 1/2”
The xhd drive exactly the same as the hd springs did, which...
Im not sure if they are just stiffer all the way or if they will be the same spring rate as your OEM but just taller to allow for more squat. I’m not sure about the return policy, but I would take a look at it and make sure that if you put the springs on and decide you don’t like them you can...
Id go direct with firestone corporate, all cracks start out as “superficial”…sounds like a BS answer to me. Are they planning to just wait until they blow to accept the defect?
In the meantime you could probably get some cheap takeoffs from facebook marketplace and throw em on for your piece of...
The 351-893Hd springs raised my stock height 3/4”.
The 351-893XHD would raise a stock rear about 1”. Which would be the stock height of a rebel. The chart below says the 351-893XHD will raise a stock rear by 2” but another member has them and his measurements gave him 1” over stock height.
The bed being pulled away from the cab is an optical illusion due to the soft bed cover and how it sits. I got caught by the optical illusion myself when I first put the cover on and did measurements to verify there is no frame flex at all.
The springs that I have raised the rear end a little...
That’s pretty much what I pull numbers wise..youll be aware of it and the heavy tongue will definitely sag the rear a bit more than you may want w/o any modifications. I pulled my TT twice with just a wdh and stock springs and even though it wasn’t bad, i wanted to make the truck handle the load...
Have you had the code read yet? It may have nothing to do with any of the components youve already looked at. Heck, it may honestly just be an original battery that is throwing gremlins as it dies a slow death.
