What did you do to your Ram today???

I am about to start installing RC 2" leveling struts. Taking double safety measures with solid wood stand on the size I will be working on as a backup.20191214_090356.jpg20191214_085934.jpg
First side took 3 hours, mainly 2 hours to get UCA ball joint to separate. After that all was easy. Working on the second side and it took 3 hammer blows to separate ball joint. Looks like RC struts about the same length as OEM and they just use stiffer coils.

Truck is still on stands but I had to raise it up to get tire back on with new struts.

Can you add stuff like this to a 3500 with springs and air ride suspension soon to prevent popping airbags with heavy loads?

Oh boy, do I have a problem! So installed RC 2" leveling strut kit and it raised my front by 3", w.f??? So now my front 1" higher than rear. Drove around to let it settle. Still the same :( Any ideas? Do they send me a wrong part in the box? Box labeled correctly but instruction inside was for 2009- 2019 model years...

Man that sucks, perhaps the kit they sent was for the DS and not the DT? Have you checked the part # from their site vs what they sent you?

I did not, website only shows SKU#, and part number only shown on the actual strut. I did 100 % ordered for DT correct SKU#, as DS has different #.

I feel for you man but I would be contacting them about it before writing here. Best of luck to you.

Got ceramic coating with Tacsystem Power Plus (3 year). I’m very happy with the results. I needed paint correction and glass treatment (from water spots). Glass coating included. Love it!

where did you get the running lights on top of the grill?



Some Chinese knock off from eBay for the Toyota Tacoma.. surprisingly it fits like a glove! I put 3m double tape to hold it in place. you can also hold it from the sides with a zip tie.


something like this
