    '14 1500 Black Edition RAM Runner build. Daily Driven

    Just to answer your question for future inquiries, Fiberwerx made the fiberglass for Kore and neither come with fender liners. You have to do custom paneling on the inside, like a race truck. Saw this truck on Race Crafters website beginning of 2018 and inspired me to build mine. He probably...

    How much $$ on gas per month?

    $280-320/month 2012 Ram 1500 Bought a 98 civic coupe in March, $120 month. Little guy almost paid for itself in a year and keeps the miles off the truck, especially rolling in 37’s.

    Before Fiberglass and Custom Bumper 26151733_1461282433993778_3005908423465238528_n by awwdude posted Jun 30, 2018 at 10:01 PM Had to get fiberglass because I was hitting the fender on big dips. Otherwise, the 37's pretty much cleared with no issues. Only had to grind down the pinch seam in...

    So where are all the lifted single cabs!!!!

    I bought the Superchips tuner years ago, the first time I lifted her, primarily for re-gear and bigger tires. Just to see what would happen, I installed the 91 performance tune... and haven't looked back! After 3 years, it's still going strong and helped performance quite a bit considering its...

    So where are all the lifted single cabs!!!!

    37's only hit the front fenders on big dips that would compress the front heavily. Hit the fender lip pretty hard a few times which constituted fiberglass. If I slow down 5-10 mph, wouldn't hit at all. The only trimming I did was grinding a little bit of the pinch seam down at the rear of the...

    Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!

    Took these three today. I made the rack in the back which functions as a material/tubing rack, made to look like a roll bar; has 3 wheel chocks, 4 eyelet bolts for tie downs, and two more hooks at the bottom of the legs.

    '12 Express (RCSB) - McGaughy's 2/4 Deluxe Installed

    UPDATE: I ended up removing the BellTech drop because of handling issues. At higher speeds, the truck would begin to swap back and forth over bumps or dips in the road. Perhaps adding rear swaybar might have helped, but it was not a delightful experience. Took the truck to the dealer and...

    '12 Express (RCSB) - McGaughy's 2/4 Deluxe Installed

    McG cast spindles are significantly heavier than stock! I was actually surprised how light the aluminum spindles were when I removed them.

    lowering it thursday

    Were you able to get your drop on?! I used floor jack and jack stands for my spindle drop. While sketchy feeling under a new truck, they worked fine. With spindles, I had to remove the rotors and calipers, but I would recommend doing the same for springs install. From swapping many springs in...

    '12 Express (RCSB) - McGaughy's 2/4 Deluxe Installed

    Thanks! Truck rides and feels really nice. Pretty similar to stock, but I only had mine stock for a few hundred miles, haha. I do like it being a lot easier to get in and out of, and when loading the bed; dirt bike, bicycles, other equipment, etc. This weekend I had to use my truck for a...

    '12 Express (RCSB) - McGaughy's 2/4 Deluxe Installed

    Last week, I parked next to Dark Gray RCSB Express (stock height, blacked out badges and windows) and it was really nice to compare the height difference side by side. 100% Satisfied I dropped mine and made me want to go even lower! Looks so much better IMO. I should have taken a picture, oh well.
