    Recovering smooth ride after lift?

    I recently lifted my 07 Ram via 6" Rough Country and Bilstein 5100s maxed out. Long story short, I need some suggestions on getting some ride quality back. Open to any and all suggestions. Airbags? Coilovers? Bringing the 5100s down and reducing the block size in the back? Aftermarket...

    Fender liner cleaner?

    Anybody take the time to get their fender liners shining? I plan to do it since mine look like crap. Would some basic armor all get the job done?

    those of you stacking lifts with leveled bilsteins...

    Ive always read not to level your truck "twice" by stacking a leveling kit (lets say an HBS 2.5" level kit) with leveling Bilstein shocks. But when you buy a lift kit and keep the leveling shocks on it as well, isn't it basically the same thing? the lift kit with come with a strut spacer you...

    New wheels/tires. Lift up next?

    I'll be picking these up next weekend off a friend of mine. He's only had this setup about a month but he's going to a 40x15.5x22. I can't fit these with a level so a lift is coming up asap. I'm leaning towards the rough country 6" lift due to the great price and reviews. What do you guys think...

    Rear shocks for 6" lift

    What are you guys running? Are the Bilstein 5100s safe to use with a 6" lift kit? I am currently leveled with 5100s in the front and regular 5100s in the rear. Im planning on an RCX 6" in the next few weeks, plan on keeping the leveled shocks in the front but unsure whether the 5100s in the rear...

    Aux Switch Panel?

    Anybody have one? I hate that my 07 doesn't come with available ports. I need to mount two halo switches, eventually an led bar switch maybe two, train horn switch, and possibly the bass control knob. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    Tinting Windshield- Anyone done it?

    Currently have 5% on my back three windows and 20% on my front two. I plan on getting a 5% brow as well as lightly tinting the windshield. Maybe a 75% or so. Just wondering if anyone has done it and how dark you went. I'm aware it's illegal but I'll take the chance.

    Good lower control arm alternative to dealership?

    I'm having trouble removing my shocks from my lower control arm. Started thinking that rather than just replacing the bushing, I can do to preventative maintenance and do the whole arm. But all the online mopar and chrysler sites want 245+ per lower arm assembly. Wondering if you guys have found...

    Went to get my 5100s and 35" Trail Grapps installed

    But the 4x4 shop couldn't get my lower shock bolts out. PB Blaster, heat, air tools, hammers and nothing. So told them to put the tires back on and I brought the truck home. Pretty bummed. What are my options at this point? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

    Trail Grapplers vs Terra Grapplers

    Looking to buy a set of 295/70/18s of either tire. Price difference between the sets is about 150 bucks. How's the ride with the Trail Grapps? How's the tread life? Are they loud? There's no doubt they look better than Terra Grapps, just not sure which to get. Sent from my DROID RAZR using...
