Had dealership install Mopar 2 inch lift on my 2019 ram

Yes but I feel like they should at lest replace springs cause see they been over compressed. Specialist said this mechanics 101. They should of new what they where doing. To top it off the directions have pictures

I also opened a case with mopar just so everything is documented.

Do you guys think if I put 1750 miles on truck and the Springs where compressed an extra 2 inches that I ruined new fox shocks and stock front springs are ruined?

No The parts will be fine. Have them fix their mistake. Dealers are not the smartest bunch at times.

Hahahaha TRUST me, as someone who has been a tech for Audi for 15yrs………….lol mechanics 101 has but all been lost over the years for some. I agree to an extent about the springs. However, without actually personally seeing a picture of how much they were compressed/compromised I’d believe they would be fine. Most spring can take some serious compression and abuse without losing their ability to maintain their designed spring rate and height.



But I could also be completely wrong

The springs are fine. Just have the dealer do all they can to fix their mistake.

Doesn’t it look like spring is deformed. There is so much darn pressure on the spring it looks out of shape

Also there 1800 hard driven miles on them since they where installed wrong

Only way to be 100% is to have them remove the spring and place them next to a new-ish spring. But no, they don’t. They are under A LOT of stress when in the installed position. Springs have a tendency to retain their dexterity, they would almost have to crack/bend to be compromised.

Coil springs last for years. If you were like that for 6+ years then I'd say to swap them out. A few months is nothing. Stupid Mechanics LOL

Oh god.

Pics are worth a thousand words. Simply taking a pic of that and posting it here would have cleared all this up.

Looks like your UCA ball joint is also maxed out.

If truck is jacked up the ball joint will look like that

 

[ferraiolo1]

And if they have the perched flipped giving it 4in of spacer lift maxing out the all joints. Thus the poor ride.

Truck is not jacked up with jack. It is sitting on tires in those pics
