    Installed level kit and bigger tires now some issues

    I'll do the leaf springs myself but I had the level kit on the front, new struts, new control arm with ball joint and tires/rims installed by a local shop.

    Installed level kit and bigger tires now some issues

    Not sure why my post got moved, should be under lifted where I originally had it. ANYWAY, what do you think is the best rear suspension option for lifting the back end up? Blocks, new leaf springs, air bags, or air shocks. I want the best option to help with towing and also level it out. Thanks!

    Installed level kit and bigger tires now some issues

    What about air shocks to raise up the back end? I need new rear stocks anyway and this would help lift them and also help when I'm towing to keep the back from squatting. I know people say air shocks ride stiff but I've had several vehicles with them and always seemed to ride normal. We put them...

    Installed level kit and bigger tires now some issues

    So I put a 2.5" leveling kit on the front when I added the 35" tires and 20" rims. There are apparently different tire pressure sensors because I keep getting the light to come on and flash 3 times every time I'm driving then it stays on. I thought these were self learning and would go off? I...

    Leveling Kit for 35s Question

    Yeah thanks, super super pumped about getting them installed. It's totally going to change the look of the truck. I'll post pics when I get them put on.

    Leveling Kit for 35s Question

    So I found these tires and rims, 35" on 20" rims with only 3000 miles on Facebook marketplace for $1500 that were on a Dodge Ram. Pretty happy with how they look and going to get them on my truck next week. I'm going to buy a 2.5" leveling kit for the front. My question is, do I need to do...

    Wheel still pulling after 2 alginments and tires

    Gotcha, yeah I'll probably go with the good ones. I went cheap on the rotors and pads a couple years back on ebay and regretted it. The pads are cheap and squeak even after lubing up the back of them. Might change out the pads if I'm getting new calipers. Do I need to bleed them after doing this?

    Wheel still pulling after 2 alginments and tires

    Wow, that's interesting that you mentioned that because it does seem worse in the morning when it's been cold. Really doesn't seem as bad once I've been driving it but it's still there for sure. I was amazed after 2 alignments and new tires that the issue was still there. It truly sounds like it...

    Wheel still pulling after 2 alginments and tires

    Yeah, at this point I'm ready for a new shop because Firestone did it both times. I only paid the first time, the 2nd time they took care of it. 3rd time is the charm?

    Wheel still pulling after 2 alginments and tires

    My 2008 Ram has had some steering issues ever since replacing the lower control arms, ball joints and front right CV shaft. I got an alignment right after that but it was still off. So the shop I took it too told me it was the front tires, which they were worn bad from the messed up suspension...

    06-08 1500 4x4 Bilstein Install (no pics, just story and info)

    I actually just need the bolts since I'm replacing the control arms. Looks like a trip to the dodge dealer

    2007 4x4 front lower control arm bolts

    Where'd you order them from? Rock auto has one bolt and bushing but I need 2 bolts and already have the bushing. Please post the link.

    06-08 1500 4x4 Bilstein Install (no pics, just story and info)

    Hey where'd you get the replacement bolts for the lower control arms? I called RockAuto and they said they don't have the replacement bolts. I found someone on ebay selling single bolts for $34 each saying Dodge is the only provider of these bolts. I find that hard to believe. If you can point...

    06-08 1500 4x4 Bilstein Install (no pics, just story and info)

    Man thanks for providing links with all the parts, that's going to help me out a ton. So I went to a local ship today to have them actually check out what's going on up front. I told them I knew the front struts were bad cause they were leaking. Anyway, they checked it out and had a whole list...

    06-08 1500 4x4 Bilstein Install (no pics, just story and info)

    Wow, that really sounds like a pain! I want to do this myself but this is my daily driver and don't want to start and then not get it finished and be screwed. Also, I don't trust a shop around here to do it. Especially cause they'd probably want to replace the control arms and all just to make...

    Need advice on coil over shock for 2008 Ram

    Did you get it done thus past weekend? How'd it go, any pics?

    Need advice on coil over shock for 2008 Ram

    Right on, I hope that works out for you. I was thinking of doing the same thing with the pb, dousing the shit out of it for several days. Take some pics if you think of it. Let me know for sure how it goes, good luck

    Need advice on coil over shock for 2008 Ram

    Also, if I do have to actually replace the lower control arms, which one is it? I looked on ebay and there are 2 different photos of lower control arms for my '08 ram. Mine's a 4x4 if that makes a difference.

    Need advice on coil over shock for 2008 Ram

    Cool, so you can just do the strut itself and not the spring? How much does a spring compressor cost? Yes, I'm sure they have never been changed, I can tell they are the originals. I'll order up the control arm bushings too. Thanks for all the great info.

    Need advice on coil over shock for 2008 Ram

    I have a '08 ram 1500 5.7 4x4 Laramie I just bought and the front end is horrible over bumps. When I looked underneath the front end at the coil over shock/strut, there was oil coming out. So this tells me the shocks/struts are blown. I know everyone talks about how good Bilsteins are but I need...

    Steering noise and slight shaking when braking?

    Yes I'm sure it probably is the rotor on the front. I'll have to take a look here at some point soon. The tires are brand new so I know it's nothing with those. The steering noise is just a slight grinding noise when you turn the wheel back and forth when I'm backing up or going at slow speeds...

    Bilstein 5100

    Let us know how it rides after you put them in. I just got an '08 ram this past week and it rides really rough up front so I'm having the same issue as you. I was thinking of getting the Bilsteins since I've heard lots of good things about them. Anythings got to be better than how it rides now.

    Steering noise and slight shaking when braking?

    I have an '08 ram hemi that I bought not even a week ago. A couple issues I've noticed are steering wheel noise like a slight grinding when I turn or crank it. It's really concerning me. Also, when slowing down and pressing on the brakes fairly hard it pulses or shakes a little bit. The guy I...
