Bilstein 6112 / Rear ORG / 295/70/18 -DONE

[troymi]

So, my 4th 5th Gen Ram 1500. Weird. I've had projects (minor usually) on all and now I'm on to this one.

I've got the truck in the shop getting following updates:
1. 6112 front assemblies (click #8)
2. Mopar lift UCAs (before you ask, haha)
3. ORG rear springs
4. Hellwig rear sway bar
5. TRX base (black) 18" wheels with Falken AT3W tires 295/70/18

Mopar bed light kit going in also as I had it, and adding OEM power running boards because they're awesome and we miss them.

Just a preview, will be curious how this one lands in the comfort and awesome category. Stay tuned...

Funny timing on the reply. I was just taking some pics after being frustrated for a few days after the install. The tires/wheels were way out of balance and I wanted to get fixed before I posted in case I trashed the setup.

Any way, first Discount Tire shop (sorry DT) didn’t know how to balance truck tires. Now it’s fixed and great. The ride is more firm but definitely not harsh. I found the OE too floaty in front. This firmed it up. The rear springs haven’t made any noticeable ride difference to my pants.

So far so good. Except mileage which is a guess since no Tazer for 2022 yet. Other speedo calibration tools?

EDIT: I didn't know how much I missed the power running boards. And, the Mopar mudflaps stay. No rubbing or catching at all. I heard a click one time in reverse full lock but couldn't find the spot yet.

BTW if anyone wants to see the OE wheels and tires here you go.
