Daystar 1” front leveling kit
Don’t use pucks. Bilsteins, eibach, or fox are the way to go -
Fog Lights
If your truck is gas, you can put a light bar in between the tow hooks. Diesel trucks the inter cooler is in the way I think I’ve heard (not familiar with diesels myself). Otherwise get a good set of headlights, A-pillar mounted pod lights, or look for a used takeoff bumper with fog light holes... -
2018 Ram 1500 Express 2WD RCSB adding rear sway bar
Hellwig has 2 kits, 1 includes adjustable end links and the other has no end links. I’d get the Hellwig end links over the stock ones any day, way beefier and you won’t need to buy new ones when you lower it. The “floaty” thing sounds like you might need new rear control arms, super common.- mrack

2018 Ram 1500 Express 2WD RCSB adding rear sway bar
Get the Hellwig kit, it comes with everything you need. Or if you do go with the stock sway bar, I still have the stock brackets and hardware from when I swapped mine out, I can ship them to you for cheap- mrack

Sanity Check - Wheel price
Great find! I’ve been looking for the better part of 2 years now and have still yet to find a set of rebel stocks for under $1000 local to me. It’s frustrating lol -
sounds like a squeaky belt
Being a 2014 replacing the serpentine belt is a logical place to start. Even if it doesn’t fix it, your probably about due for a new one anyways.- mrack

Turning turn signal mirrors into Running Lights
Boost auto sells kits to do what your wanting. Expensive but they’ll do what your wanting, it can’t be done with just Alfaobd, at least not that I’ve ever heard of.- mrack

5.7 timing, is this normal?
Correct gasket on the correct side, just completely backwards.- mrack

5.7 timing, is this normal?
I don’t think it’s a head gasket or bolt thing, even the cheapest china gaskets should seal and last at least a little while. My guess is some debris is stuck in there, or like mentioned I somehow got the gasket backwards or on the wrong side. Just a thought, do any of the manifold bolts go...- mrack

5.7 timing, is this normal?
Got it all back together, was filling it with coolant and it started pouring water off the drivers side manifold lol. Somehow the head gasket didn’t seal at all there, at least that’s the only thing I can think of, hard to see that area. There are no coolant hoses or anything in the area...- mrack

Question on Bilstein shocks
If your truck stays mostly on pavement you’ll probably be happier with the 4600s, I’ve never had them but I hear they are softer then 5100s. Pretty sure your assumption on the circlips is correct, pretty sure I’ve read the same thing elsewhere but can’t find it now. The 6112s and 5100s have a...- mrack

Question on Bilstein shocks
Yes. You can set them as high as 2.1” without needed to upgrade upper control arms. Or if you want to keep it stock, the second lowest snap ring on the 5100s (0.7”) is what you’ll want- mrack

Warlock Lift Explanation - Read this before lifting/leveling your Warlock's
You need angle correcting upper control arms to run bilsteins at the highest setting. Generally 2.1” and under is the limit for stock arms. If you were to install the stock arms they wouldn’t last long and would probably ride poorly, the ball joint will be constantly maxing out. Kind of...
