    Coil Spring isolator replacement with Falcon suspension installation

    I’m neurotic about rust on the undercarriage of any of my vehicles. So before you go trouncing around in the snow or salty roads, I would get underneath of the truck and spray any rust you can find with a rust converter. And then go back to the next day and hit it with Black Spray paint.

    Coil Spring isolator replacement with Falcon suspension installation

    Yea, with that mileage id replace them. If you don’t mind… Could you take a picture of your rear spring upper isolators in their current stock position? I didn’t do this before replacing mine and I’ve always been a little curious what the actual OEM orientation is lol

    Coil Spring isolator replacement with Falcon suspension installation

    Moparpartsonline is where I get most of my parts, otherwise rockauto. As far as isolators it depends on how many miles you have IMO. If you’re less than 20,000 miles then I would just reuse the stock isolators. But if you’re over, it couldn’t hurt to replace them since the cost is really minimal...

    Firestone Destination M/T2 Tires? 295/70/18 experience?

    Fwiw Firestone is running a 15% off the cost of tires and their install right now. Put me in the position to pull the trigger on some new Bridgestone Dueler AT ascents in E rating. They’re a meaty looking tires but quiet on the road so far.

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    You have to take them back off and reset it. I originally had my 5100s set to stock ride height and then went up to the third clip. It’s really not a difficult Install as long as you don’t over tighten the top of the strut.🤦‍♂️

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I was wanting E rated tires for the truck and ended up pulling the trigger on a good sale from firestone. 15% new tires and the install. I loved the Bridgestone dueler AT tires I had on my jeep so I went with the new set of those. Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent 275/65/18 They are definitely a...

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    I cant remember what my stock ride height was but the rear sits around 39.5”. It looked silly with a stock front. After raising the front 7/8” with the 5100s it looks far more balanced now. If i remember ill snap a pic tomorrow in the daylight so you can see the stance. I sorta wanted to be let...

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    The 893HD and XHD springs have both both felt great with daily driving. I also felt the oem springs were a little too soft. The dual rate cargomax springs sured up the ride a LOT. But dont have that HD rattle your teeth feel. I regularly have an open top mug of coffee in the morning and can...

    Cargomaxx HD coils

    I currently have 351-893XHD springs in and they’re pretty dang nice, though i have another set I may try at some point…im a glutton for trial and error. The rear sat at 39” with the 893HDs. when first hooking up the camper with a WDH the rear was 1 1/4” to 1 1/2” higher than the front(rake)...

    RC leveling Strut Raised Truck by 3 inches?

    At least there’s a pathway forward for you. If they dont settle soon send em back and get a set of 5100s and do the level that way.

    RC leveling Strut Raised Truck by 3 inches?

    My gut says to let them settle. When i recently used my 5100s to lift the front of the ram i got 1.5” where it was advertised to only give 7/8” . It took probably 2 days for it to settle to the correct height.

    Hellwig 7794 rear sway bar install question

    I have the 7793 on my big horn. Cant say I noticed it angles up or down…as far as I remember it sat flat in the box so it shouldn’t matter as far as up or down. I used the oem brackets on my 7709, but ended up using the supplied brackets to on my 7793 and haven’t had an issue. I did retain and...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Still had a gnarly clunk even after replacing the front driver side, sway bar, and link. So I got underneath and pulled the 1/2 inch rear spacers I had previously installed. 90% of the sound is gone.… It was 100% gone until I went through a car wash to get the undercarriage good and wet…and the...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed core 4x4 2in rear sway bar end links. Also replaced my messed up drivers side from sway bar end link. Ive had the clunk for a while and was trying to ignore it. Didnt last. While i was under there though i did find out the newer end link i got uses a 19mm nut on the bottom instead of...

    Warning Light Meaning

    From what I can gather by flipping through the owners manual, it looks like the truck is having a hard time determining the trailer length so it isn’t going to be able to help you with any “merge assist” which seems to be integrated into your Blindspot monitoring system.

    What are you towing?

    Love it! I really think 32-33ft is a nearly perfect length for a family.
