No stock arms. They do fine set at 2.1 at some point if they do wear out I will pop in the zone UCA's for some beef.

Looks good! It would look better without them stinkin badges. [emoji1303]
I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

What's the best way to take them off and remove the adhesive?

I used a heat gun and a plastic spluger to take it off. I also used my fingers to roll off any adhesive that the spluger didn’t get. A little rubbing compound to take care of any ghosting.

Just did mine last week was easy. Fishing line to take badges off then use Turtle sticker and glue removal spray to take off the leftover adhesive with a microfiber towel.

Did you take them all off or just some?

Too bad the rams head logo on the tailgate isn’t easy to get rid of. Since I have a black truck I took the chrome one off, cleaned it up, and installed a gloss black one. It almost blends in and isn’t very noticeable.

Finally finished this last night. Started with the rears on Sunday afternoon. Didn't get to the fronts until yesterday afternoon. Got my fronts set at 2.8.
Went from stock height measurements of 35.75 (front) and 38.25 (rear) to 38.75 (front) and 39.25 (rear). Definitely need the step rails now to get in.

@golfinds no rubbing at all. Even full lock left. I think these tires may be a tad shorter for 35s

Those of you that have done this yourselves, did you just use a spring compressor from AutoZone or something?
I put 5100s on my Equator (Frontier) at max 2” setting. We tried a rental compressor but it just wouldn’t hold the spring which had to go to almost full compression to get the strut out.
Ended up taking the assembly to a shop with the install diagram and had to pay $75.
Are these Ram springs softer and easier to compress? Is there a better tool to rent? Capable of doing it all except that part.

I have the same express...I may have to copy your setup. I’m just trying to decide why some people are going 295 65 and why others go 35....that’s what I’m trying to decide.

A 295/65-20 is a 35. The main difference, is most “35’s” are 12.5” wide, where as the 295 is about an inch skinner.
Nitto sells a 35x11.5/20 (which is basically a 295/65-20 lol).
