I’ve been chasing a squeak that shows up in the front end for a while now and just assumed it was my sway bar and links. But I know for sure the bottoms of my front coils don’t have the isolator rubber on them… Wondering now if maybe that’s where the noise is coming from 🤷‍♂️

Thats basically every midsize to be honest…especially after sitting in a full size. I cant got back to a midsize after owning this ram without feeling claustrophobic.

Got ya. I have the oem length rear 5100s and haven’t had any issues. But i dont do anything aside from drive on the highway and towing my trailer

The billstein front struts reuse the oem front springs. The lift is determined by what clip you put it on. I originally had it set to OEM height and ended up going to the third clip for 1in of front lift.

I was looking at the newer gmc canyon before landing on the ram. They full of features and have an okay tow rating for a midsize.

I had the same blue sumos. They didn’t touch while driving unless you hit a bump and then it felt like my tailbone was going to shatter because of how stiff they were. I still have the set of blue sumos that used to be in my Jeep in the truck just in case… But with the new cargo max springs even...

I have the 351-893xhd variable rate springs in and love them

Ive been running my E rated at 38 w/o any issue..first ive ever read or heard that they “need” to be run at a higher psi. Any reason behind this? Or is it just a “the way i was told to” sort of thing.

@1791 Ive been chasing the clunk an squeaks since installing my 5100s as well…when messing with the front i ugga duuga’d the upper strut nits and snapped a stud 🤦‍♂️ afyer replacing the upper mount ive just stopped fuggin with it all and have come to terms with the clubk happening when its wet...

The sites are being stupid…tour stock tire size in an LT tire will absolutely fit without issue. FWIW I just put on Bridgestone Dueler AT ascent tires and im pretty impressed with them.

I did the same 🤞

I tried the sumos made for the ram and sent them back the day aftet the install. Those things could loosen a kidney stone with daily driving. Funny enough they were magic on my gladiator and are still good on my camper 🤷‍♂️

They feel great with daily driving. I regularly have an open top traditional style cup of coffee on my way into work and have no problem drinking from that cup while I drive. They are a little stiffer than the OEM springs, but they really should have come with these progressive rate spring stock...

Its slightly stiffer, but it didn’t make it bad or rough. The truck is smooth as butter with daily driving. I regularly have a regular “open top” cup of coffee when i leave for work and can drink it while I drive w/o worrying about spilling it. I truly believe any ram with a tow package should...

Ty! There is a notch on the upper isolator where the top of the spring sits. Its hard to see in the pics, i saw in a video that it was facing towards the rear of the truck, so thats where I stuck mine. Curious if yours are the same. This is a screen shot from a video where the fellas is pointing...

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.

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

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...

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.

As far as upgrades to handling and towing. Hellwig rear sway bar Billstein 5100 shocks Cargomaxx 351-893 HD or XHD progressive rear springs Timber Grove air bag suspension upgrade E rated “10 ply” tires A HIGH QUALITY wdh is worth the $$ Id avoid the hefty bump stop upgrades. I read they...
