    Why not just use blocks for leveling front end?

    Ride quality mainly. On the Rams you'd place a spacer on top of the spring. This kills the ride in my opinion as well as changes the angle of the ball joint on the UCA to an unfavorable one. Bilsteins that many use (myself included) don't change that angle as much and I think it increases the...

    Fog light lens cracked

    My Dad and I were just talking about this today. We each have one cracked on our 16 and 17 Big Horns. I never thought anout going aftermarket with pods. Interested. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    HELP!! Caliper bolt gone!?!?

    Nearby AutoZone or O'Reilly? They should have them. I know they have the guide pins. I broke one on mine a few weeks ago and they had them in stock. Only cost a few bucks. It's sure they'd have the mounting bolts as well. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    2017 4x4 RAM with Bilsteins question

    In my opinion, better than stock. Mine rode like a Cadillac with the crappy Goodyears and now it rides the same with my Nittos which are a much rougher tire. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    2017 4x4 RAM with Bilsteins question

    Bingo. That right there makes me wish I went 1.5" even more. Just enough rake to look good but less than the factory overkill. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    2017 4x4 RAM with Bilsteins question

    Daystar 1" spacer. Mounts to top of spring. Took some work getting it in. Theres a male cone that comes down off the frame that is supposed to go into the female opening of the spacer. Then the spacer goes down and around on the spring kind of like a lid. But the opening for the frame mount was...

    2017 4x4 RAM with Bilsteins question

    2.1 will most likely get you pretty level. Each truck is slightly different. I went 2.8 and 1" in rear and I'm slightly nose high. I'll go 1.5" in rear when I replace my rear shocks. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Hell Cat Ram 8/17?

    Deep pockets for sure. Just built one. $84k. And that didn't even include the "launch edition" package that was another $12k. Granted its loaded. Tons of tech goodies. And I will have one. It'll just be in 8 years and be used. Lol. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Hell Cat Ram 8/17?

    I've already made plans to get one. In 8 years. Lol. Deal I had to make with the better half. Keep mine for 10. Put too much time and money in to it not to. But man I can't wait to see it tomorrow. I think noon EST is stream. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Apple Car Play - What's the big deal?

    Nav is the only thing I can see a use of it for. Factory navigation sucks especially on back WV roads. I have a mag vent mount for my phonw for when I use nav but it would be nice to actually have it on the screen. Other than that, yes. Bluetooth works fine. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    Android Auto dongle

    If youl are talking about this one.. https://phoenixautomotiveinc.com/products/plug-play-carplay-apple-android-auto-carlife-module-for-android-head-units-usb-port The answer is no. Thst dongle looks to be for an android radio, which the factory Uconnect units are not. Sent from my SM-N975U...

    doing self install bilstein. question regarding spring compressor PICTURE ADDED! Yikes?

    No kidding. Literally spent an hour getting the first one off. Tried everything. Wrench. Vise grips. Air gun. Finally said screw it and drilled it. Destroyed it in the process but figured it out. Other side we had done in 5 min. Lesson learned. And that was with me spraying rust blaster on...

    doing self install bilstein. question regarding spring compressor PICTURE ADDED! Yikes?

    I used one like that to do mine from Amazon. Much cheaper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004FELIT4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_66UcFb7SKX955 Had no problems with it. Just used a good wratchet and took my time going back and forth keeping the compression even. My biggest issue was getting the top nut...

    My Bilstien setup

    1.5" will do you about right. I have 1" Daystar spacer (go on top of spring) and I'm slightly nose high. Will stock shocks work with 1.5" or will extended shocks be needed? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk

    How to get rid of cigarette smoke smell

    Mine had a slight smell, but not overbearing. Biggest issue for me was the ashes and film that would come through vents and coat the trim around them. I immediately vacuumed everything (car lots never get under/behind seats well) and replaced the cabin air filter. As in once a month (I put 20k...
