    2020 RAM SRT headers swap

    I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has used the Mopar genuine performance manifolds to replace the stock 5.7 manifolds. I have a little over 60,000 miles and my passenger side has cracked (not surprised). I have the lifetime warranty, but the dealer says the parts are...

    Tire pressure for Rebel with 37s

    I agree on the chalk test. I have 35-12.50-18's. Even though they are rated for I believe 65 PSI, I read on Nitto's web site a couple of years ago where someone asked about pressures for a half ton truck. I believe they recommended 32-35 unless loaded heavy. I run about 35. They seem to be...

    Fabtech 4 inch lift!

    I see where CST has a 3.5 inch spindle lift that allows you to run 18 inch wheels. That would be 4.5 with the ORP. I think that would be about perfect. I have 18x9, -12 Methods with 35/12.50 Ridge Grapplers. I love the wheel and tire combo.

    NEW TIRE SPEEDO CALIBRATION?

    I ordered the RC speedometer calibrator. It was shipped quickly and I had it in a couple of days. It was pretty easy to use. However, I had to tell the computer I have 33 inch tires to get it to read correctly. My tires are Nitto Ridge Grappler 35-12.50-18’s that are actually 34.75 inches. I...

    Where to order wheel/tire packages?

    Custom Offsets has a good reputation. I have also purchased through Tirebuyer.com , Mr. Wheel Deal, and 4wheel parts. I have purchased a LOT of tires and wheel packages. I think you will be good with any of them. I usually find what I want and then check these places to see who offers the best...

    NEW TIRE SPEEDO CALIBRATION?

    I went to 35 12.50 18 from the stock 18 inch off road group tires. I was off 8 about percent When I was going 70 my speedometer read between 64 and 65. If you have a smart phone, download a free speedometer app like digihud. Use that to check your speed against your speedometer. I just...

    Offset advice needed

    I have 18x9 (-12) wheels and think they are about perfect. I would go to Custom Offsets web site where you will find photos of trucks with various size and offset wheels. You will probably find one with a setup like the one you want. You might also do a search here for that wheel size and offset...

    18x9 -12 305/65r18 fitment

    18 x9 -12 with 35 12.50’s fit with 2 inch Motofab on Off Road Group. I would think you should have no problem.

    TFL Towing MPG Comparison

    Hey Zinger, as I was reading your post above, you said we should be focused on $/mile. In just reading quickly, what I read was $mile as in smiles per gallon. I know; corny, but I think the Ram definitely provides that. TFL did give it the golden hitch award and it did very well up the Ike...

    Impressed-First Time Towing

    Today was the first time I have towed with my new Bighorn .ORG with 3:92’s and Hemi without etorque. My youngest son purchased a 1977 Jeep Wagoneer from a guy in Springfield, Missouri. I live about an hour north of St. Louis, so I pulled my 18 foot long car hauler to my son’s house just outside...

    DIY Paint Protection Film

    I purchased a small roll of 3M protectant from Amazon to try it myself. I did the areas behind the wheels so far. I watched a video on installing 3M pro. The video was helpful. I found the hardest part getting the film cut to the correct size. I don’t like the idea of cutting the excess off...

    Swapping Big Horn/Laramie grill for Rebel?

    You might stop by the dealer and look at a Rebel side by side with a Bighorn, Laramie, or limited. I think they are more alike than you might think. Just looking at images on the Internet, it looks to me like athe top of the bumpers are shaped the same as are the fenders between the bumper and...

    Any options out for rock rails/sliders yet?

    Come on up to Illinois. I will fire up the Miller and we will bend some tube with the JD2. We can fix you up with whatever you can dream up. It is fun cutting, shaping, and burning steel.

    Any options out for rock rails/sliders yet?

    There are some more universal rock slider sets that work well. I used some similar to these on a Jeep truck I built a few years ago. They do require some fab work, but the hardest part is done. There are others like this available...

    Very nice. How does it drive with the 37's?

    True or False: 2” Leveling Kit, w/ ORP?

    As others have said, with the ORP, make sure to use new UCA’s with the 2-2.5 spacer. When you purchase the spacer kit, the spacer will not measure the same as the advertised lift. For example, the 2.5 inch lift measures just under 2 inches. It does provide the advertised lift. If you have any...

    New Recall Coming: Power Steering

    I called my service department to make an appointment for this recall as well as the brake pedal. They scheduled me for late next week. A few minutes later they’ve called back and said they have no parts to perform the needed repairs and they would call me when they receive parts from Chrysler...

    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    The studs are not equally spaced. They can only go one way with the shock rotated 180 degrees.

    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    I would think that additional side load would be hard on the shock piston and seals.

    Strut wear after Motofab 2.5" level on ORP.

    Yea. I wonder what a call to Motofab might do. You would think this so nothing new to them. Makes you wonder if they could make the spacer with a slight angle if that might correct things.
