Does Carli make great suspension set-ups?
I'm new to that stuff. How you you rank it one to ten, ten being outstanding?
Thanks.
One of the best on the market. If I wasn’t doing the AEV Prospector XL on my PW, I would have done a Carli Suspension.

M1 Abrams, it’ll go anywhere. Roads? Don’t need no stinkin’ roads.

Well, still technically a Chrysler.

Driving a tank was fun, until like anything else you get used to it, but feeding and maintaining a tank is much less fun. MPG? Nope, GPM.

My recommendation is just to rent one and see how you like it ;)

So ok guys, what would have been your 2nd choice if there was no ram option, what truck would you have right now in your garage ?
My current 4th gen RAM was my 3rd choice, a 5th gen RAM was my second choice, and my first choice was a Ford F-150 Hybrid.

Thanks.

I see the videos on Youtube, but am new to the lifting/leveling stuff.
I usually buy the best or close to it because,..........you get what you pay for.

haha.. I thought that I was the only one who liked the look of the current Chevy Silverados.

Frankly the best truck in the world would, look like current Chevy, have the interior of the Ram, suspension - I would choose Ram, HEMI V8 and built by Toyota. LOL

The only reason why I didn’t get an f150 with the 5.0 is because of oil consumption problems so that’s when I narrowed it down to ram and tundra.

Ugly as hell but functional as hell also


Ignore all the jibber jabber. I am just showing the thing climb the hill with ease. SO goto about 5:10 to maybe 7:00

That Rivian probably had to be taken on a flatbed truck to the nearby charging station after going through that terrain...
As far as 2nd choice, it would be F150 EB for me.

second choice for me would be GMC 2500 HD 4x4 ccsb SLT gas version. it is way below my first choice of ram 2500 laramie mainly because the ram is much nicer and the gmc has a 6 speed tranny.

I sold my ram 1500 and picked up a chevy 3500 as i could not find a decent ram 3500 in my price range. It was a chevy 3500HD LTZ and put 60k miles on it in less then 2 years. It is still in my fleet as my one of my crews drive it around. It's not a ram but it did everything I needed without hesitation. Still like the truck but went back to Ram this year and I missed driving one.

Second choice would be nothing, Generous or Government motors, Ford found on road dead, and the *** boys, Ram has won me over, I'll just repair it as long as parts are available.

A Raptor.

Still want one, but I don't exactly need the performance and enjoy the interior of my 75th.
