    Do people calibrate their speedometers right after getting bigger tires or have people just not calibrated right away?

    Wow looking at the sig in the OP the truck is a 3.6L, and the OP hasn't posted what gears. Don't know about the V6's behavior in our trucks. What gear ratio do they have stock, 3.21 or 3.55? 37's will suck with this configuration and calibrating the speedometer won't fix the sluggishness. Will...

    Which upper Control arm?

    I had to look into the Core front ucas. All that money for moog style BJs and now the complexity of adjusting the length of the UCAs throw.? Btw BDS UCA's were falling down trucks what last year? If your lift is 4" and uses the spindles that restore geometry and reuses control arms then your...

    Back leveling blocks for 2" n3 leveling strut on the front

    You can add 1-1.5" rear coil springs or spacers. 35's shouldn't need any trimming if your front UCA's can add caster as the wheels can move slightly forward if your caster can be set to 5*. I ran 37x12.5x17 under the same premises with about 2.5"-2.75" front lift. I had to clearance the inner...

    2014 RAM 1500 Express Crew Cab

    Yep i see the lean in your pics. How much lift do you have in the truck ? I also had a lean like that but the beauty of the CO's is that you can fine tune your height with them. On my 500lbs springs every 5 full turns on the adjusters equals 1" lift so every one full turn is about 0.2" lift...

    Rear and shimmy, when you let off throttle, or when you tap off of Cruise control??? 165,000 miles did anybody else change their rear control links?

    You'll have to take the control arms out and inspect. More likely they'll be shot. Early warnings and easy to tell for example when you lift off the gas or stomp on the gas and the truck wants to go towards the side of the road for no reason. These are the POS Mevocrap ones, say no to Made in...

    2017 Ram 1500. Front Right CV Shaft Leaking

    I'm sorry to put this way but you will be replacing aftermarket OE like axelshafts at every oil change. Moog, Cardone, Advanced auto, Napa, Detroit Auto, it doesn't matter. All Made in China POS. I have 132k miles in my stockers and still going good with no issues. Bad thing about the stockers...

    Rear Springs for Lift and Tow

    She'll drive a bit on the firm side with the Fox 2.0's all around but should be a good firm (sportier ride) Icon 1.5" coils should put you at 1" with the 200lbs of extra weight in the back easy peasy and they pair good with the Fox 2.0 shocks. Not sure where you read the Icon springs/ shocks...
