    Extended Travel CV Axles

    Maybe I did take the time to look at that thread and what info is there that tells me everything? That thread is a guy with a 4 inch RC lift and a dropped diff and then post about a Jeep. while we are having similar issues with the popping, I am only leveled with Bilsteins and wondering if...

    Extended Travel CV Axles

    I have seen people say that but I am not trying to spend too much money honestly. My truck is a 2011 with 180K, and rusting so not really worth a ton. Just need something affordable to get by and not pop every time I back up/turn or wear my tires out quickly. Are the heavy duty Cardones a better...

    Extended Travel CV Axles

    Good Afternoon, Have a 2011 Ram 1500 leveled with Bilstein's. Have heard extended travel CVs mentioned before when leveling and should have already looked into putting those on as I have chewed through a couple sets of CV Axles. Have also heard people mention heavy duty axles. Looking to...

    What aftermarket U-Joints did you all go with?

    Thank you, don't mind spending a little more for a better quality one and as mentioned above, looking like I want to go with the non-greaseable since if I am being honest with myself, I probably won't ever grease them.

    What aftermarket U-Joints did you all go with?

    Yea, I have used a lot of Moog parts as well and never had an issue. I guess more so than brand, my main question would be do I spring for the heavy duty ones on Rockauto since they are basically the same price. Assuming the heavy duty one will be slightly more durbable, does it perform better...

    What aftermarket U-Joints did you all go with?

    I am replacing both front and rear which appears to be the same part # for both. Nothing specific, just a DD that doesn't do much towing or off-roading. Yea, I was looking at the Spicer since I hear good things about Dana when it comes to drivetrain and differential stuff. May go with that, a...

    What aftermarket U-Joints did you all go with?

    Hello everyone, Looking to replace my U-Joints on a 2011 Ram 1500. Curious what everyone here ended up using. Looking on Rockauto and they have a lot of options. Seems like the Moog 331 is the common one and I will probably go with that. My question would be, do people prefer the Moog or Dana...

    Front U joint replacement 2015 ram 4x4

    Jumping on this thread instead of making my own. Looking to replace my U-Joints on a 2011 Ram 1500. Curious what you ended up going with OP? Looking on Rockauto and they have a lot of options. I see the Moog 331 that is listed above and will probably go with that. My question would be, do...

    Poll best TRUCK tire?

    Looking at getting new tires and was looking at the Cooper Discover AT3 XLT. I see them mentioned as tires made for towing and a lot of guys with 2500's put them on there. Are they pretty heavy? Should they be avoided with a 1500 that isn't going to tow that much? Was also looking at the AT3 4s...

    Mevotech vs Moog UCA? Coil spring question as well.

    @DILLIGAF did you buy new bolts for your control arms or did they come with them? I think I have one that is seized and was looking into buying all new bolts.

    Mevotech vs Moog UCA? Coil spring question as well.

    Appreciate that, I may check in with him, I did look at the eibach and know Zones are the best but it also adds $800-$1000 which could be used towards wheels and tires. Maybe if I wasn't replacing all my other suspension parts. Also, if I am being honest, not sure my truck deserves it lol.

    Mevotech vs Moog UCA? Coil spring question as well.

    Hello Everyone, I know these are talked about all the time but wanted to make my own thread to compare two specific UCA's. I have a 2011 Ram 1500 with 137K on it and am planning on replacing a majority of the suspension parts including adding Bilsteins to level. I am looking at using mostly...

    Suspension question: Control arm and camber bolt question?

    Hello everyone. Have a quick question; Not that long ago, I took my truck into the shop to have Bilstein 5100's installed on my 2011 1500 and they told me they weren't able to do it because the bolts on my my lower control arm was seized(Truck is from a good amount of snow so I'm not...

    2011 Ram 1500 broken storage handles under rear seats.

    Hello everyone, Both of the handles on the rear storage compartments have broke. The big compartment is shut and I can't get it open, the smaller one is open and won't latch shut but I am able to just put the seat down to close it. Looks like the latches are about $50 a piece which is pretty...
