    Bullitt5339's Slammed 04 Build Thread

    Since Photobucket decided to change things up and break the interwebz and because I refuse to pay them $400 for photo-sharing, I've abandoned my old build thread and will just pick things up from this point. Background: I bought the truck bone stock in June of 2015. I've done a bunch of work...

    School me on HIDs

    I know absolutely nothing....... The reason I ask is that I recently put tinted headlights on my truck and I drove it for the first time at night tonight and to be honest......... I couldn't see shit. I was driving with my high beams on and still couldn't see anything. I like the way the...

    Manual Seat recline issues

    My truck has fully manual seats, so no electrics to deal with on this one but there is a problem and I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue and if there's an easy fix for it: My driver's seat recline does not hold itself into place. There seems to be a sweet spot where it will keep the...

    Relay spliced into ignition wire?

    I was doing some research in order to hook up a brake controller into my truck and when I popped my head under the dash, there was a relay installed in line with the yellow ignition wire in the steering column and I have known since I bought it that the clutch depress to start was disabled and...

    I'm kind of pissed......

    The wife and I are searching for small RVs that I can tow behind the truck. Being a V6, the tow rating is 3300lbs which is seriously limiting our selection. That's OK, we can get what we need and stay under 3300lbs. I looked at one that would have been absolutely perfect, but it had a dry...

    Anyone with a 3Gen Diesel, need a quick favor.

    I'm planning on using the diesel bumper inserts for trucks without tow hooks on my new bumper and have a thought for a new project going through my head, but need some dimensions. If one of you wouldn't mind measuring the height and width of the opening in the center for me, it would give me...

    Firestone lifetime alignments?

    Has anyone tried this out? I had a friend that recommended this on Facebook and it would really come in handy for me with all of the suspension work that I'm getting ready to do. I was gathering parts to do everything at once so that I only have to pay once for an alignment, which is around...

    Getting the truck wrapped?

    I think I've decided that instead of getting the truck painted, once I finish all the bodymods, I'm just going to have it wrapped. Are there any disadvantages to wrapping a truck instead of paint?

    The Source of my Rough Ride......

    I was playing with the truck a little this morning, trying to figure out exactly what to order so that I could get a little better ride in the rear of the truck. What I found was that at 8" of drop in the rear, my McGaughy's helper bags which are designed for a 6" drop are nearly bottomed out...

    I'm drooling a bit.......

    These are made by a local company about 5 miles from my house. Stock location fuel cell offering more ground clearance for lowered trucks who don't want to relocate the tank to behind the axle. This is perfect for me, since I have the Street Scene hitch on mine and use it to tow quite a bit...

    Painted front step pad?

    I'm going to drop my upper bumper cover off tomorrow for paint and because of the color, the black step pad is going to stick out like a sore thumb. How many have had their step pad painted body color? I'm assuming that the texture doesn't stand out very much once it has been painted and...

    Front End Geometry

    Now that the visual mods are getting wrapped up on the truck, it's time to address a problem that I have with my truck. That problem is the front end geometry with the 5" drop up front. There are some serious geometry problems when lowering a ram this far and absolutely nothing is really right...

    Opinions on new bumper setup?

    I've been going around and around on what I want the front of my truck to look like and I guess I need a push in the right direction so that I can finally order the actual bumper itself. Here's a picture of the front of my truck after shaving and painting the grill body color this weekend...

    Shorter swaybar end links?

    I've been looking around for some shorter endlinks for the front of my truck, but it seems that no one really makes them for our lowered trucks so I started thinking about it. I have a neighbor who builds SFI certified drag cars and is a magician with a welder. I'm wondering if anyone has...

    Worn through wheel well liners

    Well, I knew it was going to happen but I was hoping it would have taken longer than it has but I have worn through the tops of my front wheel well liners from rubbing over huge bumps. Has anyone taken them completely out? I'm just wondering how horrible it would look without them and...

    Interesting question/dilemma for my slammed brethren.

    As most of you know, my truck is sitting at 5/7 drop right now. I'm pretty happy with the amount of drop in the front and I was happy with the rear...... Was...... When I pulled the factory rear bumper and hitch off, the truck raised up quite a bit. I didn't measure it before/after but...

    Street Scene hitch vs. Airbagit vs. ??????

    The time has come for me to purchase a new hitch for my truck. I have a roll pan, which forced me to remove the stock hitch, but I have a lightweight 5x8 utility trailer that I would like to be able to tow again. Through my searches, I have only found 2 options: The Street Scene hitch for...

    Manual Driver Seat on Permanent Recline

    So I got a surprise today after lunch. I was kicked back in the truck with my seat reclined relaxing and then when I had to get back to work, I put the seat back up and went to push in the clutch and the seat flopped back into the reclined position. I played around with it for a little while...

    What size tire for 17" wheels?

    Lowered 5/7, but still riding on the stockers with BFG All-Terrains which really don't compliment the drop. I'm also getting a bit of rubbing over large bumps and would think a lower profile tire would look better and get rid of any rubbing at all. Here's the deal: I am getting 22's as soon...

    Opinions on possible setup?

    Here's my truck as it sits right now. It hasn't been mine for very long and I bought it to be a project, so it needs a bit of love. Besides tinting the windows and putting new wheels on it, the front bumper is a little beat up. The lower valance is missing and the upper bumper is faded and...

    Bullitt's 2004 1500 build

    After a few years away from the truck scene building Mustangs, I had the urge to do another lowered truck. I've been a mini-trucker in the past, dating back to the late 80's, but have wanted to do a full-size build for a few years now. I flirted with the idea of doing a slammed dually, but the...

    Complete Suspension rebuild

    I bought a 2004 Ram 1500 with 121k miles on it last month and decided that I was going to lower it and did my homework and it looked as though I wanted a 5/7 drop, so I began ordering the parts. I had the plan to gather all the parts to do a complete rebuild at one time before I started...
