I bought my front hellwig sway from summitracing. Looks like they are also back ordered now.
I went with front and rear hellwig. No regrets here yet. Still fine running to make everything work right. I'm trying to achieve a stiff ride with hard cornering abilities. Our freeways here are...
Just an update. I installed some rough country 2inch leveling springs. They are thicker and firmed up the front end a lot. I cut 3/4 coils off which put me 1/2 higher than with the stock springs. Hopefully it will settle and give me the true 5in drop. Now I need to play with shock setting and...
My rear seat higher by 1in when loaded with tools. It's a work truck gave myself that extra clearance for those heaving loads.
Yesterday I actually ran over a parking lot curb. Bent my rim pretty bad. Was able to make it to the rim repair shop with 10psi left on rim. I myself want to get...
Here's my 5/6 drop on 22's. I wouldn't dare try 24 on this drop. Just the 22 I'm having issues with inner fender rubs, loss of turning radius and ride quality.
Will that was a total fail. Ad says 2wd and shows a spring that looks like a 2wd front spring. Received a 4x4 front spring. Apparently there is no HD front spring for our rams.....
Second try is going to be rough County 2in front level spring. Apparently it's thicker and more stiff than stock...
So here's the deal. I'm dropped with inez 5/7, viking shocks, hellwig sways front and back.
I'm trying to achieve a firm ride without bottoming out. I tried a few settings with the shocks but nothing is just right.
So I found these 35% stiffer HD springs fronts I'm thinking of trying. Any...
So here the deal. I have a viper alarm on my 2015 ram. I'm carrying around basically 2 fobs for the truck. The goal if possible is to ditch the ram fob and use the viper alarm with an actual key.
Now is it possible? I tried programming the key awhile back but after that It got placed on the...
I spent the last 3 weeks playing with my ihc 5/7 drop. Today removed the bumpstops and the ram bottomed out bad on the freeway. Front crossmember touched asphalt on a big deep on freeway. So those are back on and instead I cut the first ring off. Viking shocks 10/14 setting. I'm not enjoying...
Take a look at the sway bar end link mounts before you install. Mine came with a oversized hole. I would say about 1/4 bigger than the end end link bolt. At first It was knocking and bolt was backing off. Second time I added washers same thing happen. Today I welded the washer to the arm. I hope...
Finally took a pic of the ram. Here is how she sets right now. Still need to install ihc rear lowering kit. She'll drop another 1-2 inch in the rear. Would love to go more but need that extra gap any heavy loads.
I know we all like pics!
I tried this. Was only able to grind about 1/8 before the rim hits my hellwig swaybar.
I've learned to deal with it at this point. I just park far away now or I go around the block to make a u turn instead
I sent Jay a message and he sent me a message right away and said he will be happy to help me choose the best cam for me next week. He won't be back till than.
2015 8spd 2wd running 29in tires
It's a daily truck that does carry a small load of tools. I'm more of a red light kinda fun guy.. Freeway I always take an easy and if I do its a very short run to 100mph than I back off.
Was doing alittle digging and came across this...
Looking at cams now on moes web page. Looks like some 3.92 and a limited slip is next on my list. Need to do some homework. Need to choice best cam that will keep me safe with smog.
Couldn't load the hemifever tcm tune also. Gave me an error than reloads the stock tune. So I'm still running the Diablo tcm can tune also. Reason I haven't followed through yet is ill be installing the headers this weekend.
Kinda disappointed. I was on the freeway way today and another ram 1500 rolled up next to me. So we did a little speed run 65 to 100. And man we were even head to head.
Difference I can say for sure is he was a 2 door lifted 4x4. I'm a 4 door, couple hundred lbs in tools. Also had another...
Finally got my Diablo after usps was stuck in the snow for a week. Got the can tune 93 and preformance tcm tune. Huge wake up. She rips my 315's 1st through 2nd. I actually felt my neck muscles tightening up during acceleration! Can wait to install the shortly and get my custom tune.
I went ahead today and shaved abit off the tab that is causing wheel lock. Wasn't able to do much before my wheel hits my over size sway bar I'm sure with stock sway bar you can shave alittle more. Still cant make a simple u turn with out reversing.
Looks like I might need to dermal my headers abit. There are mig wire stuck around that hasn't melted. Plus I got these little plastic balls stuck inside.
Found a stainless steel one of 100. I'm on it!
I unloaded my tools this morning which doesn't happen often. Truck felt great. Good power. Have my viking shocks set 10/14 and was able to hit some corners nicely. Short lived, truck is loaded up again and ready for work
My tuner didn't show up...
Yes they will physically look at all smog components. I got caught once already. He noticed it was not a oem cat and failed me cause the cat had no carb number for my old f350.
My idea was to just install shorties that were carb legal CA. Set it and forget it. Than came across how bad the ypipe is. So figured I would get a y pipe with high flow cats. I would have to store the stock ypipe to resell the truck or to smog it every 2 years which is a easy swap.
If I went...
