    Atoto Gen2 S8 Ultra Plus Meet 2015 Ram

    With some buyer's remore ( :D ) I went ahead and ordered this beast from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZJPG2K6?ref=myi_title_dp Things I haven't figured out yet.... Am I going to have to rewire stereo harness to ignition switch accessory power (e.g. cigarette lighter)? I see some...

    Simple Questions (?) 2015 Ram 1500 BigHorn Wheels & Tires

    I have whatever factory wheels came with 20s on 2015 Ram BigHorn...20x8. I want to go aftermarket wheels and 285/70/17 ko2s...and am confused about what wheel width to order.

    Simple Questions (?) 2015 Ram 1500 BigHorn Wheels & Tires

    Thanks for your reply. I had read where factory 17s were 7" wide, but then for example on tirerack when I look at wheels it describes 17x8.5 as OEM size! Then I see various websites proclaiming that 285/70/17 must have 8 or 9 or 10 inch widths. At which point my head explodes.

    Simple Questions (?) 2015 Ram 1500 BigHorn Wheels & Tires

    I'm confused about OEM wheel rim widths, specifically - are 17s only 7 inches wide? - are 20s 8, 8.5 or 9 inches wide? (I've seen all 3 on various websites) So my recently purchased Ram has stock 20s (noname 275/60/20 tires and 20x8(?) wheels)....and I'm considering dropping down to 17" wheels...

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    Is it me or are the manufacturers of uniball UCAs just printing money? The price delta boggles the mind for a trivial mechanical construction difference.

    Eibach Pro Lift Struts

    The Eibach website lists only two engine options for the 2015 Ram Bighorn: V6 Diesel or V8. What's a poor V6 Flex owner to do?

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    Thanks very much. Very informative post, and it confirmed some thoughts I had about the trouble with relying on anecdotal information from the innerwebs...people love to share opinions.

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    Thanks. Yes, the 4 hour guesstimate I included was based on what I think I would likely be charged by a shop versus how long it would actually take them.

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    Sorry if I'm being slow, but are you saying I should be able to get pre-assembled Bilsteins for less than pre-assembled Ranchos or Rough Country's? I'm not seeing that...

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    Thanks for that. Having watched enough videos now I can say I'm off the spacer train. I think I'll manage my budget restrictions by limiting my first effort to front shocks and coils.

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    I appreciate your sharing and read it with interest. I'm glad you landed on the setup you wanted, and I think trading a little stiffness and mpg loss on well-maintained asphalt for better handling over big bumps and backroads is worth it. I'm still left with a couple fundamental issues...

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    6112 pair on shock surplus is $870. Add 4 hours for labor and you're at $1300. The question about why alternatives are junk given that the central issue is geometry impact remains unanswered.

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    I'm confused by your numbers. Two 5100 HSAs $260 Two Front Coils $300 Labor 6 hours $600 Total $1160 Two Rough Country (or alt supplier) Front Coilover Struts $300 Labor 4 hours $400 Total $700 OverStrut Spacers $100 Labor 3 hours $300 Total $400 With respect to paying more later, that's...

    Round 2 of My Lift Newb Questions - TIA

    Philosophical question... If its ok to add Bilstein adjustables to the front without any other adjustments provided you keep the lift to 1.4 or 2.1" and under....because the lift is so small that you are not introducing geometry concerns....doesn't that also mean that that its ok to install any...
