    Wheel offset options?

    ‘06 1500 mega cab. It uses the 2500 chassis since it’s the megacab. I have roughly 4.5” front lift and 4” rear lift and I’m running 37x12.50’s on the factory 17” wheels. I’m running a 1/2” spacer up front right now to avoid rubbing the side of my upper link bar. My main concern is rubbing the...

    Who has a megacab with a body lift?

    How many lift blocks? How wide are the blocks? I'm looking at some individual blocks because I can't find anything under a 3" BL and that's not what I'm after. Just trying to see if the blocks I found will work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Difficulty finding choices of megacab body lifts

    Is it just me or what? I can't seem to find many bodylifts that work with the megacab and when I do find one, it's only 3". I've found 1.5" and 2" but they only seem to be for smaller cabs. Any options under 3" that are recommended? Preferably with bumper brackets and everything...

    Calling all megacab 4wd's with 37's..

    I'm about to have 37x12.50's installed soon on my stock wheels. I seem to recall the sidewall on the inside, being pretty close some some suspension/steering part on atleast one side. For those of you with stock 17's and 37x12.50's, did you have to run any wheel spacers to keep from rubbing up...

    Shock length & brake hoses

    First question, for a 5" lift, what shocks/length would be recommended? Not looking for real high end, just something equivalent to oem that's long enough and good brand. Second question, what brand would you recommend for extended/braided stainless brake hoses? I only have experience with...

    Lift coils

    Are there any 2" coils available for '06 1500 megacabs? I did some quick research but couldn't find anything. Would springs from a cummins equipped Ram offer any lift since mine is a gas engine? (Assuming the diesel is heavier and would have different springs) Alternatively, what about 4"...

    Increase towing on my '06 megacab?

    I've been reading and I've came to the conclusion that I can haul roughly 1,800lb in the bed (plenty) But my towing is rated at 7,200lb. I've determined that I've got a transmission and power steering coolers. What is there that I can do to be able to pull more without hurting performance when...

    Difficulty finding fender for megacab??

    I've been looking on eBay at new fenders and I found one that says it fits my year truck except megacab. Why won't it fit? I'm ready to buy but once again, it being a megacab I'm getting the shaft.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A/c + heat issue

    Truck is a 2006. The a/c works, but the vents barely blow. It feels like the floor vent is blowing a little, even though I have it turned to the dash vents. Also when I turn the temperature selector to heat, it doesn't change. What's the deal here? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire fitment on stock 4wd

    I currently have the stock tire size on,but want to go a little bigger before I lift it. Anyone running 285/75/17 a/t's without any rubbing? I'd like to be able to play around off-road some so concerned about any possible rubbing when the suspension is tweaked more than pavement driving. Also...
