What did you do to your Ram today???

[ocwill1]

re-installed powder coated tow hooks. Prismatic powders Illusion Light Blue with Clear Vision clear coat and it looks very similar to B5 Blue, trying to match the e-torque in the hood badge.

Correct. But this is quicker and easier, just have to jack up the truck and lube the threads to dial in the ride height.

i mean if you don't have access or ability to take the shock off then yeap it's easier but you run the chance of messing it up even with lubricant.

but if you have the ability to take the shock off then it's always better to take it off and do it with spring compressor so you have zero chance of ruining the threads. seen customers ruining their shocks because they tried to do it with spring tension on the preload adjustor using the adjustment tool lol

I have the Eibach adjustable coilovers, which are advertised as adjustable on the vehicle with a spanner.

They are steel bodies not aluminum.

Would you think there is risk adjusting those without a compressor (eg is the risk only to aluminum threads in your opinion)?

I lowered them a bit prior to install and it seemed easy.

I was thinking I should be ok lowering them further on the truck if needed, but wouldn’t expect to be able to heighten them without spring compressors, despite there being videos on Eibachs website showing heightening looking easy enough.

Thanks man! I’m definitely getting that adjuster knob haha the high speed adjuster feels like it’s welded in place

Is this knob needed to adjust the high speed to max because it gets harder to turn after a certain amount of clicks? I am getting my BDS 6 in with the Fox 2.5 Performance elite with DSC installed on the 18th and wanted to grab this tool if needed.

And the actual billet preload adjuster tool. The little adapter is a pita to use. It’s worth the $50

But I washed the mud and salt off just for the forum

You need to start date-stamping these pics before some jealous person comes around and starts accusing you of re-posting stuff.

Dude the high speed adjustment knob feels like it’s welded shut I seriously can’t turn it even one click lmao so I’d say this knob would be beneficial for sure

I considered asking for a current newspaper to be held in the picture - for that exact reason

Well, poop! If I ever washed my truck again, I was going to get a bunch of different pix... different angles... different time of day... in the garage... outside... ,but you're on to me.

Back to drooling over Boogie's pix... going camping next month. Nothing like that, but if the kids decide not to go we'll take the RTT. I can try out my cool novelty Christmas gift...

The Orange Gas Lantern from Fire-Maple is Small and Convenient, and the lightweight 140g does not take up much space in your bag, but it can make excellent campfire ambiance

Ferraiolo, you have set the bar far too high. Now perfection is the only thing we will accept.

Well I’m a few days late, but Santa dropped these off after a couple custom touches to match my truck’s theme, I’ll be throwing them on. I helped install a set of 2.5” Kings last month and they handle everything pretty great - although maybe a little stiff for me. These Fox coilovers for the BDS 6” lift run a 2” longer coil with a lighter rate than the Kings and feature Dual Speed Adjusters instead of a single mid speed adjuster on the Kings. Plus I’ve heard Fox’s baseline tuning is a bit more plush than King’s for these trucks. So hopefully that means I’ll love these shocks! I’m still going to call around to professional shock tuning shops to see if they’d recommend any revalving or swapping coils to get maximum ride quality and performance before I install them. I wanted these for so long I rather pay a tiny bit extra to ensure I get my moneys worth. Buy once cry once hahaView attachment 173713

I’ve never heard of some one removing and Installing and repeating to get the ride hight adjusted correctly. That’s a bit silly.

I’ve owned several different brands of coil overs. Simply taking the weight off the vehicle and the proper tool is all you need.

Unless it’s a cheap coil over like the rc ones or the fox 2.0

You have the Eibach coilovers? If so were they the same overall length as the OEM strut? I'm worried about extra travel when in full droop stressing the upper ball joint

 

[ferraiolo1]

No, this is the first vehicle I’ve had in a long time without them.

When I installed the lowering kit there weren’t any lowering coil overs on the market yet.
