    Headlight condensation 10 minutes after brand new install

    I did not buy aftermarket lights, I broke my OEM lights open and rebuilt them. After putting it all together, I ran through a car wash. Only one of my lights fogged up. Turned out, I forgot to put one of the dust caps back on. I put the cap on, and no problems since. Sent from my...

    Zone 4" lift with bilsteins?

    I see two rings exposed on mine, and I’m at 1.4” setting. I see one ring exposed on yours, so that should be the 0.7” setting. That first ring would be 0” factory height. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    As someone else mentioned... the spring seat may be on upside down. That would raise it a little. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zone 4" lift with bilsteins?

    My shop was a little perplexed about the bilstein lift as well. That’s exactly why I set them myself. I just know our setups sound really similar and I’m dead level with Bils at 1.4”. Most people are with a 4/3 lift. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Zone 4" lift with bilsteins?

    Did you set the Bils yourself? I got a 4/3 BDS lift with Bilsteins at 1.4” I’m dead level in all four corners. I didn’t trust the shop to set my Bilsteins correctly, so I set them myself and told the shop not to touch them. They were an authorized BDS installer, so I did trust them with...

    Getting flashed after my 4" lift

    I had no idea where to aim my lights. So, I used my Dodge Journey as a guide. I set my Ram lights to the same height at 25 feet out, then went for a drive. LOL.... I could barely see past the front of the hood. I came back and raised them up and just winged it. Took another drive. Met...

    Getting flashed after my 4" lift

    This worked for my 2015 1500. There are two holes with arrows, mine was in the other hole than what this video shows. Shine a flashlight down in the holes and you'll see the adjuster.
