Hello ! Newbie here. I was a mechanic in earlier life. US Navy (jet engine mech) Certified automotive tech, the joined the P.D. and enjoyed a 31.5 year career, contributing to the safety and security of my Bucks County, PA community. Over the years I built a few nice 4x4's, highlighted by a classic Bronco (1975 V-8 3 speed, soft top), 73 F-250 camper special, 2002 Excursion, 2006 F250 Diesel, 2012 F150 5.0 V8, 2015 Suburban, 2017 RAM 1500 crew cab Big Horn 6-4'' Hemi, and NOW a 2022 RAM 1500 4x4 Laramie crew, hemi, 6-4" bed, Pano roof, frost beige/mountain leather interior. This one being the nicest equipped truck I've ever owned, I'm almost afraid to modify it. BUT I plan to do a lift/level kit and get 35" rubber.
If anyone has done this - hit me up, I need some input. Looking forward to enjoying the RAM brotherhood.

Welcome Doc. I was a state constable here in the Pittsburgh area for a few years. Step-son is a detective here (cpl), grandfather was a police officer and brother-in-law is a soon to be retired police officer.

Only visited our fine ships. After completing A school and OJT I got assigned to the P-3 Navy, then got the chance to fly as Aircrewman so was land based anti-Sub and maritime patrol entire time. Hundreds of hours 'over water'.

Hello I’m new here and I’m an Army vet, MP. I have a question or 2. I have a 2015 Ram 1500 BigHorn Crew Cab 5.7 Hemi 4X4. No mods yet. I’m looking to level and raise my truck 3 inches and replace the shocks, struts and brakes. I’m looking for suggestions other than R.C. If you can help I’d appreciate it.

Fox shocks are the best ones the dealers install them on factory new trucks to sell on the lots. Look into them

Thank you for a quick response. Is there any specific ones to look at? Or just look at Fox overall?
