I'm pretty attached to this truck now, not gonna lie. My first new vehicle purchase and had always wanted a single cab all the way back to the 2nd Gens. I may have a little more trouble sourcing parts where I'm at, but I'm sure it'll be manageable. A buddy of mine runs a fairly big Auto U Pick so that helps.So you will surely have your work cut out for you! Though I see enough wrecked rams being parted out on FB market I don't think sourcing all the parts will be impossible.
I'll track down the thread and send you the link to a guy with an ecodiesel that was dealing with the same issues you are from his RC 4". It is interesting since things go from working perfect to ***** with no real reasoning behind it.
Once you try out and see if it is the struts giving you a fight, there's options to explore if it is in fact the issue. I believe ICON, Rough Country and Fox all make 4" extended struts.
Again no reason to overthink it till your back, and I have a feeling it's simply a funky combo somewhere with some witch-craft geometry acting funny. We're here to help, and spend your money while doing it!
I was just looking at some of @JB1 threads. He was running the 6112's at max with the 5" spacer and his travel looked similar to mine. And he didn't complain about any ride issues. I see he's since gone from max to 0 on the struts and swapped out the 5" rear coils for 3", so running a pretty similar setup as me. @JB1 do you have any pics of your current setup, I did some searching but didn't see any.
Before going with the Bils I was heavily considering Fox and Icons. Couldn't justify Icons at the time and I was worried how the Fox would hold up in the salt and corrosion here. Btw I have no problem spending on my own money, let alone this forum twisting my arm lol.
