What did you do to your Ram today???

[Redz72]

Installed Bilstein B12 rear 1.5” coils and 5100 Shocks to balance out my truck. Prior measurements equated to 1/4” difference from ground to center wheel well height. And occasionally my truck would look squatted depending on parking surface or load. The new rear suspension brings the rake to 3/4” which sits much better IMO. The ride has improved as well vs the 1” Motofab spacers, stock springs and stock shocks. Smooth sailing over the usual railroad tracks on daily drives.

Also installed MetalCloak Jeep JT extended bump stops. As well as Core 4x4 Panhard/Track bar.

More stance pictures to follow when the weather improves in the Great NE.

Forgive me for a noob question but what’s the significance of a aftermarket pan hard bar?

I installed the rear set of Bullring tie-down retractable hooks today. I used my friend’s Dremel, a box cutter, needle-nose pliers, and a rasp. It didn’t take long to install, and hopefully I’ll get a lot of use out of them.

I’ve got the same ones front and back of the box. I use them a lot!

You installed your sway bar upside down.

I don’t know what series red chose, but stiffer bushings or heim type joints would help reduce sway when towing.

Sure does look like it in that picture in my previous post, doesn’t it? But there is no load on the suspension as it’s up on the lift in that picture.

Once the truck was lowered off the lift the sway bar is parallel under load.

It’s ensures the axle’s lateral location so it doesn’t shift side to side. It’s just beefier and heavier duty than the hollow stocker. Plus i figured I’d add a little color under the truck. Got it for a steal of a price too so didn’t have much to justify.

There is a heim joint on this bad boy.

Yes just the rear brakes. I plan on installing a sub in the future. It has extra camera inputs so I installed a front camera which works good. Overall I'm happy with it but I do have a few minor gripes:
The screen is hard to see from the side with sunglasses on, didn't have that issue with the factory screen.
The backup camera glitches sometimes.
When I switch to the climate controls they only stay on screen a short time then revert back to the main screen. I would rather have it let me switch it manually.

Cool, yeah I jus installed 2-8" subs and got custom ported box built for my truck. Jus got a custom line out converter/anc bypass harness since I'm using the factory 8.4 radio gets pretty low and loud gonna definitely have to sound deading my doors little of back floor back cab and most definitely my roof. That linkswell XL 15.6" looks so bad *** and thinking ima get my back brakes serviced then purchase one an install it so I won't have to worry about putting stock back in for 5 yrs or so since I don't put to many miles on my truck a yr. I like that it has front rear sub rca outputs on it an seems to have alot more sound function settings on it as well besides jus looking awesome. I got my power beefed up before I installed my sytem to make sure I didn't have a problem with my system making my lights dem and dropping my voltage so I installed a mechman 370 alt along with changed my underhood battery to an XS power D series 4900 and have another Xs titan 8 lithium ram parallel with it so I have enough juice for now lol until in a few yrs when my son is in high school I plan on pulling my back seats out and putting 3 brutal sounds big brute 15s back there and let them wham.

Yeah, that looks better. My Laramie sway bar pointed down.

Ajt design key fob cover. Military green. Matches pretty good to the tank BTS.
The torx tool included is very bad so had to buy a set to get it done.

Thats pretty cool. I like the look of it.

 

[JJRamTX]

Installed the Smoked Lens Switchback Towing Mirror Marker/Blinker lights to replace the white lens ones that didn't match the Night Edition blacked out look.

Thats pretty cool. I like the look of it.

i wonder what went through their minds being loaded in a cap with no windows lol

I think sheep go through their lives constantly waiting for "the other shoe to drop" !
I did leave the front pass-through window on the smart cap open and hoped for the best they'd have enough air ! ( The cap isn't super air tight anyway, especially around the tailgate )

Ram Trucks hooked it up with a care package!
Wasn’t planned, but it actually arrived on my birthday which made it all just slightly more special lol.

So how many trucks does one need to buy to get that care package?

I got a large RAM stainless steel travel mug in 2013 but nothing since.

Lol. It must be several. I've bought 3 Rams (2 new) in the past 3 years. I can't even get my login to work with Ram....

This is my first Ram purchase! I honestly think it is just due to the social media presence on my Instagram account. They contacted me through IG to get my shipping address. I haven't done anything unique or above and beyond to make myself stand apart from a loyalty standpoint.
