    Oddball question ahead

    I have the Metra double din kit in my 2018 currently. It is a very well made piece, however, I hate it because it has a raised ridge around the opening in the factory bezel that makes it hard to use the controls on my Pioneer stereo. I’m looking at the PAC Audio BKCDK656 as a potential...

    2016 Rebel take-offs-UPDATED

    Wish you were in Florida, been looking for a set of these. Free bump for the weekend.

    Bilstein replacement options

    The clicking noise could be an indicator of improper installation, if I remember correctly. You might be able to get new strut top mounts and put them back together with the Bilsteins you have and be good.

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    If they’re the same between a Rebel with air suspension and your regular 4x4, I would think there’s enough built-in “slack” to allow them to work as designed with the 6112s without the need to lengthen them. Again, just thinking out loud.

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    I wonder if the Rams with the air suspension use the same front links as the traditional strut does?

    Hodges 2016 Bilstein Build

    Just thinking out loud here...so don’t stone me to death. Lol I can see an actual mechanical need for extending the rear sway bar links since the rear end is essentially moved down with the Bilstein lift springs. However, the front sway links I’m not so sure about. The front sway bar is bolted...

    Falken wildpeak a/t

    I have a set of 35” first generation Wildpeak ATs on my other truck and I’m not impressed. Just my opinion.

    Bilstein 6112 Backorder?

    Yeah, they are taking orders from vendors again on them, from what I was told. Mine are supposed to be here sometime in the next week or so.

    Bilsteins and zone UCAs

    Did they put the UCAs on the wrong sides?

    Zone uca ball joints

    For what it’s worth, I had the Zone UCAs on my previous GMC 4x4 and I seem to remember the ball joint and castle nut/cotter pin location being the same.

    Best tires for wear

    My father and I have consistently gotten 50-60k+ miles out of Nitto Terra Grapplers. They ride good, pull decent, and are usually reasonably priced. Just my opinion. Good luck with your selection.

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    6112s are still on indefinite backorder. They’re having similar problems to what Eibach is having, from what I’ve been told. I’ve been trying to chase down a set for a while now. This past weekend they went “in-stock” on websites everywhere due to a glitch in the supply stream, is what Bilstein...

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    If you bounce around to a couple of different vendors’ websites, you can supposedly assemble the entire kit, piece by piece. It costs slightly more than buying the complete kit but might be an option if you don’t want to wait. I’d also suggest talking to Nick@gotexhaust as well. He’s been very...

    What’s going on with the Bilstein B8 6112?

    I just searched “Bilstein backorders” and it’s not just these particular ones for Ram trucks. They seem to be letting everything run out. That, plus the across the board price increases mentioned makes me wonder, as well.

    Interesting reading on the Bilstein product shortages: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1580817
