    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    Been a while since I updated… 5100s all the way around, set at 2.1 on front, blacked out badges, Tracrac, magnum headache rack, PIAA light bars, Tyger bull bar. Putting my Tyger rear bumper on tomorrow.

    Best paint for exhaust tips

    I’m going to be putting on my Tyger Fury off road rear bumper in a few weeks, and while I have the old bumper off, I’d like to black out the exhaust tips. I’m in the process of replacing all of my chrome badges with black, and want to do the exhaust tips, too. I have a lot of plasti-dip, would...

    Bilstein 5100s on Monday

    Awesome. I was also worried about the light getting damaged from the kayaks when I’m transporting those, but the Thule rack is adjustable, and the light is low profile, so I’m not worried anymore.

    Bilstein 5100s on Monday

    Nice picture! I’ve been thinking about putting a lightbar on top of the rack, but wasn’t sure about the fit and if the cab would interfere with the light. Looks like you don’t have any problems, so, I’m ordering a 30” PIAA as soon as I finish typing this.

    Bilstein 5100s on Monday

    On Monday I’m bringing my truck to Line-X and having a spray in bedliner done, along with a Magnum headache rack, and Bilstein 5100s installed, front and rear. I plan on having the front set at 2.1”, because I don’t want to have to replace the UCAs as well. I don’t do much off roading, and the...

    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    I agree, it is a little difficult to navigate. I thought I was posting in the lifted section of the forum, and that that applied to all gen’s. This forum as a whole, is applicable to all generation Ram’s, isn’t it?

    Another Bilstein 5100 question

    Next week I’m bringing my 2018 1500 to Line-X to have a bedliner, headache rack, and Bilstein 5100’s put on. I’m doing both front and rear, but I don’t plan on lifting the rear, so no new coil springs. My question is in your experience and opinion, what is the optimal front setting? I don’t...

    Rocker switch location

    Looks like I’ve got one. As long as there isn’t a fuse panel behind it, this is where I’m going to try and put it. Thanks for the quick reply!

    Rocker switch location

    Hi everyone, I’m going to be installing a 3 gang rocker switch on my 2018 Ram 1500. I’m wondering if anyone else has this or one similar, and where the best place to mount it is. I’m thinking of putting it just left of the steering column. It will be used to operate my flood lights, fog lights...

    Rust proofing new PW

    Got mine done professionally when I bought my truck. The dealer used Valuguard, and so far, so good. It looks like the underneath was powder coated. When they do it to new vehicles, it comes with a lifetime warranty, and an 8 year warranty for used vehicles.
