What did you do to your Ram today???

[kdoublep]

So as I was installing my Ditch lights, my wife and kids pull up in the driveway with this. The shelter is literally a mile away so we are supposedly "fostering" him for two weeks....Rigghhhttt.

Any guess on the breed? Shelter said Border Collie mix. I see lots of Lab but he does have white spots on his chest and hes pretty chill for a puppy. My black lab was not this chill at 12 weeks.

Just give him some time to settle in and he will become a hellion soon enough. They all do eventually until they get past their terrible teen phase.

Hey, did the same thing @1BADRAMLIMITED! Also replaced the end links, and now I no longer have the annoying knocking sound!

That’s my next purchase!

I was about to ask what brand lights did you go with; then I saw it in your signature.

I do need to ask, though, where did you find your sharks with frickin’ laser beams? My local dealer only stocks ill tempered sea bass, and it’s just not the same.

update... the Hellwig AND the one on the Rebel are both a "fat" 7/8" of an inch. So, it isn't actually any bigger... so the advantages will only be that the Hellwig is solid vs. the stock being hollow, as well as the adjustability of the Hellwig.


i haven't heard that one before. I would think that when you take a cylinder and make it a flat plane it would get weaker... Especially in the case of a tortion bar with the twisting. BUT, i'm also not a blacksmith hahaha so to actually know, or try that are beyond me. hahaha. If you do do it (hahaha "do-do" ) I'd be interested to know how it works out... and if it doesn't i'll give you my old stock bar if you pay shipping hahahaha.

That’s what I thought. The adjustment is the biggest factor. Solid vs hollow isn’t that big of a reason to buy one.

Finally pulled the trigger on the Diablo Sport tuner. I did send HemiFever an email but have yet to hear back. So ordered the module and will start with the out-of-the-box tunes to see what happens. Just want a little more juice for camper pull, especially in the mts. We shall see!

Are you doing a ECM swap or are you mailing then your ECM to Florida? Make sure to pay for shipping insurance.

The method used for creating the sway bar definitely makes a difference. Even using the "stock" hole in the Hellwig makes a noticeable improvement in body roll. Crushing the stock bar and drilling for extra adjustment holes only reduces the integrity of the factory sway bay. Does it work, and make a difference, sure. If you want to be cheap go for it.

There’s no way the OEM hollow tube sway bar has the same resistance to torque as the Hellwig solid sway bar. If you believe that you’re crazy.

Looks just like our dog Nova. She’s a staffordshire terrier/lab mix. We did a DNA test.

Nothing to the Ram, it stayed in garage, took my D100 to car show and brought home a 3rd place plaque.

have no clue what u are referring to when you say crush and drill it?

Some people have flattened the end of the stock sway bar more, and drilled extra holes to mimic the extra holes in the hellwig

I’m not a physicist…… and my biggest reason for saying what I said is because I do not tow nor am I throwing the truck through corners and turns or racing my big A$$ truck.

Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

I just added the Hellwig rear sway bar. Thanks to everyone who recommended it (and the links to the AAFES store). I used the Hellwig heavy duty end-links. I set the end-links to the middle hole in the sway bar. I've just driven about 20 minutes...and am amazed at the difference. What a...

I intend on installing one however soon I can get one, but I wanted to go ahead and install my 3.5” Front and 2.5” rear lift now. Does anyone know if I can get away with putting the stock sway bar/links back with the 2.5” of lift in the rear for a little while until I can get the hellwig...

Right now he's fitting in very well. We're just so busy and I don't want to be fooled by the Summer. My wife is a school teacher at my kids' school. So the Summer will be perfect for adding the new family member but school comes fast. Most of the time we're gone 11 or 12 hrs a day with our jobs. Not sure how that's going to work out for him. We'll see what the good Lord says.

Same reason I don't have a pet I am gone too long. I might be able to bring a dogo to work with me but... I work in very dirty environments outside so they have to stay in the cab or suffer in the heat and cold. Once on the sight the trucks move around a lot so that could get result in a run over.

I would love to have a dog hell even a cat but my LL is deathly allergic to cats. So no pets for me.

If you search the internet long enough, you’ll always find something to support your theory.

Yep, you got me. I'm just a f***ing idiot trying to make you look stupid on the internet.
