The guys at Thuren been working on some cool stuff for you 1500 guys which is cool! I've been asking them back when I had my 1500 back in 2009. We'd meet up every year at the dunes for another forum meet up and it was all 2500s. 100's of them. I'd be the only 1500... I am like Don, dude. come on... hahaha

Finally.. haha -

Yes keep us updated and post pictures!

Nothing will come close to these out there for performance.. that is for sure!!!

Do you know if Thuren also do custom length as an option? I really like the look of their tune options, but I have a 4" lift and will need custom length shocks.

I know Filthy Motorsports offer custom length Kings for RAM's, but I don't know much about their tune / valving

Give Don a call or send him an email. He may take a day or so to get back to you as it's a small, busy shop but he will definitely know what you'll need.

Man that is truly a sweet set up, but even their stage one is overkill for me sadly.


F.O.F

Just finished the install. Haven't really done anything yet since I need to get it aligned tomorrow. A few pics.

We need two know about the ride quality

Sent from my Moto G (4) using Tapatalk

Sorry, I forgot to update this one. After a 2nd alignment everything is working perfectly. The ride is softer but firmer if that makes any sense. It handles great on the road and speed bumps barely exist.

I still haven't had a chance to hit the desert. It's been like 115+ so I'm not in any hurry to get out there right now.

At the Stage 3 valving the ride is nice and soft until you lean into a corner or hit a bump. Then everything firms up and keeps you in complete control. The Bilsteins I had previously (will be for sale soon) had similar control qualities but the overall ride was harsher and they were much harsher over speed bumps.

I am very happy with the purchase.

I'd have to borrow a couple of Go Pros to get any good video. I don't plan on doing any major jumps. LOL

This isn't a long travel setup or a race setup. Just a more capable off-road setup that will handle high speeds without rattling your teeth out.

Valid point. My question is dies it cost more or less than the icon lift or comparable price?

Probably about the same once you factor in everything. I already had upgraded rear springs and Zone upper control arms.
