    How well will my truck tow?

    im not speaking hypothetical, numbers are numbers. whats hypothetical were your previous posts about panic situations and people dying. i too am speaking from experince. i never mentioned the correlation between tongue weight and trailer weight because thats not what the OP was asking and i...

    How well will my truck tow?

    payload and tow rating are two separate things. at no point did i mention payload. the OP's question was regarding how much he could tow.

    How well will my truck tow?

    i think youre missing the point of what i was saying. im fully aware of all the components involved with towing. my point was simply if the tow rating of the truck is rated at 9750 and the trailer is 9700 then by the numbers, youre not exceeding capacity. when the engineers designed our trucks...

    How well will my truck tow?

    ^if in fact OP's truck has a tow rating of 9750 (according to the chart posted previously) and youre comparing numbers, technically no, its not too much weight. as dramatic as your post is, i dont disagree with you though. the facts are this. by his questions, jljbtm does not understand the...

    How well will my truck tow?

    please dont take offense to this but by your posts and questions, it sounds like towing and trailers are somewhat new to you. 9700lbs is A LOT of weight for our 1500's. properly set up (weight distribution hitch, air bags, good brake controller) equipped with an experienced driver, the truck...

    Dream build

    high flow cats wont pass a sniffer or visual. i feel like you might be pissing in the wind trying accomplish both. its one or the other. if being smog legal is more important, i'd throw a blower on it and call it a day. SMOG check points are popping up all over where i live.

    recommendation for rear shocks?

    what drop do you have? did your new shocks help gain back some stability you lose when lowering a Ram? my truck suffers from that terrible "wallowing" feeling you get when you lower these trucks, especially when i through some weight in the bed like my dirt bike. im not trying to eliminate the...

    recommendation for rear shocks?

    i know buying anything OTHER than QA1's is a "band aid" fix. i dont drive the truck very much, it spends its time sitting and looking pretty so i cant justify the coin for QA1's at the moment.

    recommendation for rear shocks?

    Good morning all, I've thought about upgrading the shocks on my truck. Its a 2015 Ram RT with a Mcgaughy's 2/4 Deluxe kit. Ive decided on Bilstein 4600's for the front, even though i HATE that theyre yellow, but cant decide really find anything worth buying for the rear. I've read a lot of...

    Detroit drop?

    i really like the fact that he used factory wheels. ive always thought the wheel looks much better without the cladding. then you add color matching? sweet combo.

    mcgaughys lowering kit issues?

    most of the "slammed" rams that you see on social media are built strictly for looks. most are back yard builds that dont perform correctly built by inexperienced individuals that have wallets that exceed their knowledge. you can lower these truck farther than whats available to us in the...

    mcgaughys lowering kit issues?

    so ive had the airlift 1000's on my other single cam ram and they worked out great. i regularly towed 8000+lbs. definitely worth the money, plus they make bags specifically for lowering springs. i feel like with all the piecing together that youre doing, you might as well just buy and all new...

    mcgaughys lowering kit issues?

    definitely sounds like your springs are cut to make a 3/5 drop. ive been on the fence about cutting my springs to lower mine even more but after reading about your situation, im against it now. have you had any results with any remedies? (bags, sway bars)

    mcgaughys lowering kit issues?

    currently, im sitting at 35.5 inches in the back and im 35 inches up front. maybe your springs have been cut??? i have 10k miles on my kit and i have dirt bikes (500lbs) in the bed of my truck every weekend so my springs have been "worked." sorry youre having a hard time with your kit, its...
