What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

Just picked up the Ram.

Ended up not only installing Fox shocks all the way around, Maxtrac front springs (completing the 7” lift), and oil change, but also upgrading all 4 brakes (Rotors and pads).

Now…. Top Romen for a while

The Ram, and the Land Yacht

a little difference in height between the two,

Next up on the wish list…….

1, Air lift for rear when towing

2. Onboard air for above,

3. I’m thinking Red Core 4x4 arms.

I think the Fox IFP shocks generally need the body up towards the frame and shaft down to the axle, i would probably flip them over. But I've found conflicting info so I can't quote any Fox docs on this.

hmmm, had not run into that as well. Any supporting documentation on that?

Just as many one way as the other, maybe @ram1500rsm can chime in with a source

Only drove home about 2 miles, so can’t give an honest evaluation.

I do like the stance with the extra few inches made.

I had no complaints with the others (KYB) front, Max Trac standards for rears, but seeing as how I had to change out the front shocks due to the taller springs….. I decided to just do all 4 together.

The stance you have works well with the mini fender flares. I love the Mopar stripes too. Check the orientation of your rear shocks though, looks like "FOX" is upside down...

Traded my 19 Express for a brand new off the lot 21 Warlock. Got to keep a bunch of things from my old truck also and got great deal as it's my 4th purchase at that dealership.

Added gloss black door handle and tailgate handle covers, added red vinyl inserts on grill and tailgate RAM emblems, installed new rear brake pads and red Dorman caliper covers on my blackout 2017 express.

Until you mentioned it, I hadn’t even thought to look. Fox is closed today, so I’ll have a call into them Monday morning and see what they recommend for my application.

I too could not find anything definitively one way or the other.

Either way, thank you for pointing that possibly

Some shocks can be mounted either way, in this case body size down and I believe those Fox With IFPs fall in this category. When in doubt contact the manufacturer. They look better body side up in our application. . Do you know if they came with offset spacers for the top mounts ? If you look on videos I think every single rear shock install for the RAM 1500 has the rear shocks with body up. Icon 2.0 instructions call for body Up. King and Fox 2.5 instructions call for body up. Don't know about the instructions for the Fox 2.0 but should be up for the RAM application. Contact Maxtrac they should have specific instructions for their lift.
