What did you do to your Ram today???

[R.A.M]

I feel ya! I have to be going downhill on the highway to get up over 13 mpg.

Agreed lol. I get 12.5 on a good day. That's with keeping an eye, let up on the gas so it can engage the eco. $150 every 2 days to fill up my tank...**** my life.

Ouch I lucky to spend $150 a month.

Yeah, I wouldn't hit the knuckle/spindle with anything
This is really all you need if you have a harbor freight near by

Replaced the OE UCAs with Mopar UCAs. Was leery of banging the aluminum knuckle, tried a couple times, wouldn't budge. Used the HF tool, but had to modify it to fit as shown. Widen the jaw and shaved a section of the lower arm.

Washed it. Getting a post – lift alignment tomorrow morning with some kind of fancy new hunter laser alignment system that my dad bought recently.

I noticed you posted that your Dad got a new Hunter laser alignment system. Several months ago I went to our local Firestone Complete Auto Care store to have my new
2021 Ram 1500 Big Horn Crew Cab 4X4 aligned. They have the Hunter alignment system and after waiting an hour they came back and told me they didn't have the specs
for my truck. I just made another appointment, they said they still didn't have the specs. I told them to use the specs for the 2019, which they said they had. The 2019 truck is supposed to be the same, 5th Generation.
Am I correct to have it aligned with those specs ?

2019 is fine, there’s no difference. They just need to update their software.

So I just noticed this when installing the readylift strut extension. The factory bolts stick up past the spacer plate. Anyone else see this with these.

So not sure if I post this here since it's not technically on yet, but trying to get new uca's on and I am having a huge hard time trying to get the, :Strike the ball joint boss with a dead blow
hammer to dislodge the taper part done. It's really in there good, I've been banging on it with 4lbs hammer on side and on the bolt and nut portion trying to pop it up, neither is working. I think next solution might be getting these u shaped prong things I saw someone using on YouTube unless anybody has and idea's.

Your problem is you are using a dead blow hammer. Use a mini-sledge, or I've even gotten them to pop with just a regular claw hammer. But you need the solid metal in metal impact. A dead blow weakens the hit too much

I didn’t even catch that, lol. I wonder if he actually meant dead blow. Either way, it seems like everybody’s freaking out about hurting the spindle for some reason, like a 4 pound hammer is going to put more force on the spindle than a hard hit from a big pothole or offroading.

Yep, there have been a few reported that way. You'll have to trim the bolts.

I haven't posted on this thread in a while. I have been wasting my time and money on my Town Car the past few months. Automobiles are an addiction of sorts

Anyway, since winter will be here before you know it, I got my lazy butt out of the recliner and installed my Rokblock mudflaps that have been sitting in the garage for months. The hardware was missing but I scrounged some up from the garage and got it done. Only modification was the front needed a little heat gun molding to make sure they cleared the tires. 35s don't leave a lot of wiggle room.

Installed the Ramcharger (wireless charger) in the truck. It will go great with my AAWireless (wireless Android Auto) device. No more plugging in the phone.

Did you or anyone else have to put the right side shock on the left side and the same with the left to the right to make them fit back in after the Spacer was put on top? It doesn't line up otherwise it looks like

Left and right side are the same. Just trim a quarter inch of the stock studs on the upper strut mount and rotate it 180° like the instructions say.

No one was freaking out about hitting the spindle, its simply not needed and the wrong way to free a ball joint but by all means, beat yours like it stole something

Well I ordered the rear half of the 2/4 kit from maxtrac had the front struts decided to just do the rear!
And got some nitro 420v 305/40/22 tires, as far as rims go it’s between the factory reps hellcats, and 2 others.

Yeah, I'm thinking that's why it was sitting weird in there, from the bolt hitting the top and not going flush against it. Not looking forward to cutting the stock bolts on a brand new truck.

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the replicas in 22 on mine....in gloss black of course.

It’s no biggie, each strut mount is between $30 and $40 depending on whether you have a wholesale account or not.

Finally washed my 2019 Sport with newly installed level and new rubber (Revo 3 lt285/65-20’on stock rims). Mileage may have taken a hit , but looks and seems to ride nicer than the stock 20” rubber
