Get that thing done man! You've had it for how long now?

Put them on your list anyway... a programmer will be coming soon. Have faith.

Ok so I did it... I ordered my Bilsteins, a spring compressor, and some sweet looking Mopar fender protectors so when I'm working in the bay I don't scratch anything.

sweet. Can't wait for pics. What is the benefit to the bilsteins over say a 2" hellbent steel leveling kit?

LB3711 · Aug 3, 2011

I would assume that its adjustible

Link so you can read for yourself. Most of it makes sense, some of it is marketing I'm sure.

Also, I will probably only do 1.5" or 1.75" level as I want to keep a small amount of rake.

That's great besides the fact that I can't use them on a 2WD. :shooter:

i like it leveled I cant wait to get mine done. when I can find someone to help me LOL

i wish there was a programmer for the 11's I'd put 35's on my mod list LOL

i thought dodges had a speed sensor in the rear for the speedometer therefore making up for different tire sizes, gears, etc.

LB3711 · Aug 4, 2011

I don't know. I'd like to keep the speedo correct on this on. The tires on my car made me 4 mph off.

durango4819 · Aug 4, 2011

i have far bigger than stock tires on mine and my speedo is correct. When i had my Dakota i added 4.56's and a different tire size and it was still 100% correct. i cant imagine a newer truck having less technology than an 01.

joetama · Aug 4, 2011

I think the sensor is on the axle, which means a tire size change makes the spedo off but a gear change doesn't. Why? The speed reading is taken at axle speed, so the gear change is before the sensor so the sensor reads it. But, the tires are post sensor so a bigger tire has more distance per rotation, there for when the shaft is spinning at stock tire 55 MPH the tire would actually be moving the vehicle at 55+ MPH.

yep, if you change your tire OD your speedo is off. i don't know of any vehicle that auto corrects for this. i believe most vehicles use a magnetic sensor for the speedometer reading.

Ramtech needs to clarify this lol

joetama · Aug 5, 2011

All I know for sure is I'm bummed my Bilsteins didn't come in today.
