    Picking up our TT out of state - trip complete - thank you!

    Here is another vote for the equalizer WDH. However my best advice is never go cheap on the WDH. You really do get what you pay for here.

    Your choice in leveling kit, and would you do it again?

    https://www.airliftcompany.com/workshop/determine-correct-lift-spacer/ But you may be right on the edge of not needing to. Best check with air lift.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    Sorry to hear. My experience has been pretty good. I don't know what happened here, but I would probably do the same thing. Good luck with the Bilsteins if you go that way.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    There are struts for multiple lift hights. 2, 3.5, and 6. These are the two I'm talking about. 3.5 inch : Loaded Strut Pair | 3.5 Inch | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2022) 2 inch : 2 Inch Leveling Kit | Loaded Strut | Ram 1500 2WD/4WD (2019-2022)

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    That should not be. Did they accidentally send you the 3.5 inch loaded strut? What sku number did you get?

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    yeah it was 2-3/4 on one side and 2-1/2 on the other if i recall correctly.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    Yeah, I bought a set of 1 in spacers for the back that I ended up returning. The camber gets really out of wack until you do the alignment riding on the outside edge of the tire. I am running about 1/2 inch of rake now that everything is settled in. Here is mine before the alignment.

    What rear lift to use after RC 2” front level install

    I have those struts. I am assuming you have done the alignment. mine was 1 inch higher than the back before the alignment. after the alignment I was dead even. Then after settling in for about 1k miles went back for a followup alignment(1 year alignment warranty) and am now 1/2 inch lower in...

    Airlift 5000 help

    Still seems like there was something wrong with the install or the parts. Anyway, hope you get it all sorted out.

    Airlift 5000 help

    I was going to say this. I believe mine are without the internal bump stops. I have read others on here complaining about the bump stops. You didn't change anything else at the same time, like tires?

    Airlift 5000 help

    That doesn't sound right. They shouldn't really change your ride at low pressure. I keep mine at 5psi and it rides like stock.

    Panoramic Sunroof Question?

    I live in a high hail area and have had my grand cherokee roof with pano replaced 3 times. the first 2 I had to go back for adjustments because of leaking. the last they nailed it first time. I almost did not get it in the ram because of this. Needless to say I have the pano and don't regret...

    Yes, they're independent.

    Sway or Light Front End

    I would second the equalizer hitch. For under $1k, it dialed in easily and towed great.

    Air Lift 5000 Airbags on a Rebel

    one quick note, I do not know if I have the internal bump stops or not. It was installed by the previous owner.

    Air Lift 5000 Airbags on a Rebel

    Man, sorry to hear about your unresolved issues. I have the 5000 and have not bottomed out at all with stock Laramie NON-ORP rear end. At least not that I have ever felt or noticed. And I never even installed my 1 inch spacer after my level like I was going to. I wonder if there is more...

    What is the estimated longevity of the Pentastar V6?

    2014 Jeep GC just rolled 110k miles. At 70k had both heads replaced due to the sticky valve issues from a few years ago and the cracked oil filter mount/cooler replaced. After that it has been trouble free since. I want and hope for another 100k

    best value 1.5-2" lift?

    Slightly firmer than stock. Better damping and control than OEM strut. OEM feels soft compared to these. Even the wife thinks it's an improvement. This is my first truck and only level kit so I have nothing to compare, but I am happy over the OEM for sure. I think I got slightly more than 2...

    best value 1.5-2" lift?

    like you said, best value is not the cheapest. if you are not going more than 2 inches, then do a strut lift not a top strut spacer(puck). If you want to match that in the rear then a spacer and matching longer shocks. I did 2 inch Rough Country Loaded N3 struts and have a 1 inch rear space I...

    2021 1500 UCA ball joint...wtf?

    Yes, but I stayed away from the uca because I didn't have replacement. ended up using a 3 jaw puller with only 2 jaws attached so they would be at an offset. There was very little room under the stud but we finally got it. It was a huge pain in the ***. If I touch this again I will be...
