Need more height at rear
Tuftruck springs are 18 1/4", will measure the ikons when I take them off as well for your database -
Need more height at rear
Not a huge fan of adding in a spacer to compensate for height lost due to weight. I've ordered the Tuftruck HD springs and will report back with my findings. Springs are 3 years old, 60,000km on them. May be fatigue, I don't have measurements from when I initially installed them. I also did... -

2014 RAM 1500 Express Crew Cab
Just wanna commend you on keeping up a great and informative build thread! Also, it's refreshing to see others with the intent to build their 1500 into a capable off-road machine. It's a bit of an uphill battle with this platform, but you certainly get some surprised looks and kudos when you...- Oddity

Need more height at rear
Measuring 38.5" to the center of the fender all around on 35's Mostly it's the hitch as that's the lowest point, but traversing crossditches at an angle has often dug into the corners of the bumpers too. Fox says 25.8" at full extension I've come across some heavy duty coils, thinking it may... -
Need more height at rear
Bit of a dilemma here. I'm running into the constant issue of approach / departure angles on forest service roads (fire roads) with cross ditches dug through them. The ~500lbs of constant load in the back likely isn't helping. Front is easily solvable with a high clearance bumper, but I think... -
Performance based clearance needed
My issue is that the rails and the tail end are constantly eating dirt, as my neck of the woods are tighter jeep trails with hefty cross ditches and rock slides that have trails built through. Not intending to wheel rocks for shits and giggles, only when it's in my way. I was thinking a 6" BDS... -

Worth noting that any "Long Travel" kits will likely require new fenders as well, as the track is usually increased on the front wheels -
Performance based clearance needed
What are the best options out there to get more body clearance out of the truck without sacrificing performance? My truck has been getting into some tight spots, barely clearing rocks on the sideskirts or kissing crossditches with the rear bumper. I know lift kits are the popular option but I've... -
Bilsteins 5100 at 2.8 pics please
Plan is to get the Icon progressive springs (1.5" lift) and Fox 2.0 rear shock, that should even things out with gear in the back. Thanks! That's my old hardtail. Was thinking of getting a decent XC bike but the truck won out.. for now. -

Oddity's [LAND] 1500 Build
Got some new stuff in, nothing too special but I'm running out of storage under the seats.. Picked up a SuperFlow MV50 portable compressor and an OTC 5-ton bottle jack. The bottle jack packs in to a small package, should work well for changing a flat. Will have to either fab up a...- Oddity

thoughts on going from 20 to 17's
I went from 20" stockers with 33" rubber to 17"x8.5" Method NV (0 offset) with 35" tires. No rubbing, no issues with offset. Here's a comparison photo. -
BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2
Just got mine on a couple wees ago. Can't speak from personal experience for longevity, but my initial findings for grip and road noise has been quite positive. Mind you, I have 35"x12.5" tires, so depending on size your experience may differ. After much research and contemplation I decided to... -
'14 Ram Laramie vs '16 Tundra Platinum
I was initially looking at the Tundra when truck shopping. Had all the options picked out, mods lined up, money in hand. 6 Different dealers and the best they would do for me is $1500 off the sticker price, wouldn't budge another $500. I popped in to a Ram dealership where a friend of mine...- Oddity

Rear coil lift?
Looking to lift the rear 1"-1.5", want it to be as performance oriented as possible for the dirt / washboard roads I tend to drive. Was looking at the Icon progressive coils, but wanted to know if there were any other options out there that would lift the truck and upgrade the coils at the same... -
Bilsteins 5100 at 2.8 pics please
2.8" Front, stock height rear. 1/4" nose high, will solve with new rear springs soon. -
Oddity's [LAND] 1500 Build
Alright! Long past due for an update. Been a busy few weeks. Got the itch to start personalizing, had a few cans of plasti-dip around from previous projects. Ram emblems are next, didn't want to chance it with the questionable amount of plastidip. Started getting parts in as well.. Set...- Oddity

Bilstein 5100 @ 2.8" harsh ride
Of course, shortly after posting I had a revelation and ran out to check the truck at midnight. I had not fully threaded the top nut (end of piston, secures top coil hat) down because it was a ***** to get to. Broke out a 3/4" socket, lock pliers, and a #6 hex key, and tightened the nut from... -
Bilstein 5100 @ 2.8" harsh ride
Just installed the suspension yesterday, still on the stock wheels. Noticed that the ride is very stiff, I seem to be noticing every imperfection in the road. More concerning though is the 'clunk' I can feel before and after a speed bump. Has anyone else come across this? Any ideas? I'm going... -
Lug nut depth?
I now the new rams are 14x1.5, but how deep of a lug nut do I need? Can I fit a 1.4" lug, or does it have to be a duplex (2") lug? Looking at these.. Gorilla Automotive Products - Lug Nuts, Wheel Locks, Auto Security, Wheel Accessories -
Oddity's [LAND] 1500 Build
I noticed there aren't a lot of 1500's built for purposeful off-road expedition, with most of that crowd either staying in the mid-size truck / Jeep realm, and some moving up to a 2500 Power Wagon. While there are definitely limitations to the 1500, I feel there is also a lot of potential. I'm...- Oddity
