Getting Excited!! Two more days and Bilsteins are here

Will be lifting up the ram soon! The time is just not going fast enough!!

Can't wait to install the kit, rear spacer and then add the 315/70/17 tires.

Got these wheels coming for it too.

those are pretty cool looking wheels, would probably look real good in 20's

I wish I could have persuaded NTB to buy me 20's....LOL

But at least I did get them to buy a -6 offset so now I can get the larger rubber on it.

I hope so. I really like the wheels I have on now. I think they look great. I am hoping these new ones look as nice.

Those look real good!

Sweet, what torque specs were you looking for in your other thread?

Just for the suspension. All the parts that have to be removed to install the strut assemlies in the front and the spacer in the rear. We may try something differerent in the rear, and just compress the spring to install the spacer, so we don't have to take of the sway bar and such.

My only hope is that this spacer for the rear actually raised the truck the full 3/4 of an inch because if not......Then I can't set the Bilsteins at the full lift setting, because then the front will sit higher.

Got my fingers crossed on this one. I probably should have just bought the 1.5" one, then I would still have a little rake, but be able to set the fronts to the max.

What kit did you order?

discojables · Nov 8, 2011

I don't mind if the front sits slightly higher.

I bought the 5100's for all four corners of the truck. And also got a 3/4 inch coil spring spacer from Top Gunz Customs.

Well if it happens I will have to deal with it, until I can afford the larger spacer in the rear.

Because after buying 315/70/17 tires, paying for an alignment and the mechanic who is helping me install the kit, I am gonna be strapped!

But I definately want the maximum height from the kit, otherwise what was the point???

discojables · Nov 8, 2011

The point for me is so that the tires don't rub and I hear bilsteins ride great vs a spacer.

Yep exactly. I did not want the spacer either that is why I went with this set up. There is not a Bilstein to raise the rear, othewise I would have had one. And I cannot wait for the ride improvement either, these twin tube factory shocks, suck ass and make my body sway around corners. Can't stand it!

discojables · Nov 8, 2011

Agreed $mithy.

My Bilsteins were delivered today. If I didn't have class until10pm I would be installing them tonight.

quietpeen · Nov 8, 2011

my leveling kit has been sitting in my garage for over a week. I have yet to find time or somebody to help me install it
