What did you do to your Ram today???

Finally got around to modifying and installing my IHC rear control arm brackets. I didn’t cut the axle and I only relocated the lowers. Did this solely for traction. Zero issues, no vibrations, pinion angle is perfect and rides amazing.

100000% worth it. The mid range improvement alone is worth it for sure.

Not ready to void my warranty just yet, but I can definitely envision this mod when the time comes. Are you using the factory injectors? I assume the rest of the fuel system is still stock.

I’m using the 6.4 injectors which you need a tune in order to run

Is that the "cut" bracket or the bolt on? Hard to see on the phone. If its the cut bracket did you spec that with CORE 4x4 or...?
 
This weekend - Removed both air dams to get them out of the way for new tow hooks. Then added both factory skid-plates and the bed handle
After dealing with the 30 some fasteners that hold the airdam in place it's not going back on again. For the active airdam I just unscrewed the dam off of the mechanism. The mechanism doesn't show under the bumper and I didn't want to worry about trouble codes.

Before and after:
2.5 Motofab level
35x11.50 Yoko Geolander m/t's

Talked to my buddy at the dealership about correcting the speedo. $200, which is the friends discount. No thanks. Guess I'll be going down the diy software rabbit hole. All in all, rides decent and aren't as loud as most m/t tires I've had before. Still noticeable, but not terrible. Haven't towed anything yet, but excited to see how that works out. Would have gotten more pictures, but promptly had to put a shift in at the ol man's over the weekend. He wanted an ash taken down, and I needed firewood for the garage. Win-win.

Nice load of firewood there. "Cut your own wood and warm yourself twice" :) Can't beat a nice wood stove fire on a winter's day. I don't get much hardwood where I live ( Western Oregon ), some oak and alder ( lots of ash from that ) but mostly it's all doug fir out here.

Yeah I didn't even get a picture of the big pieces ha. Now the work really begins. Oh well, it's a good workout and we have a few nice days left here. It pains me to turn up the thermostat in the house. I don't feel bad at all throwing another log on the fire in the garage. I usually take whatever I can get free (maple, oak, ash, cherry). Some definitely splits better than others though.
