    Trx driveline swap on a 2012 ram 1500

    Not sure what OP used, but Advanced Fiberglass Concepts and Fibewerx are the most common for RAM to my knowledge.

    Clayton lower control arms on. Pics.

    I installed mine the opposite direction. The right hand side bracket is open on the back side and it seems like the left hand side bracket has plenty of room.

    What kinda jack are you using in case of a flat?

    Has anyone used the Safe Jack products? I always thought their kits looked interesting. https://safejacks.com/

    roof "caves in" when going through a car wash?

    Same here, 2014 with no sunroof.

    Icon 2.5 front coilovers on the way, how do I set them to 3" lift before installing them on the truck?

    If you end up adjusting the collar, I would squirt some WD40 on the threads to make it easier to turn. You don't need to use a ton, just a small amount on the threads above/below.

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    I ended up going with the Icon's based on ram1500rsm recommendations. I had Zone control arms before and the Icon's feel more planted, but that's just my butt dyno telling me that. No regrets with the Icon's so far except for I wish I would have just gone with them first instead of switching...

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    Just wanted to revisit this and say the Valvoline worked like a charm. I disassembled the frame bushings and wiped all the old grease out and recoated with Valvoline plus I pumped some through the bushings and they are very quiet now.

    Bilstein 8112 on 4th gen ?

    They look offset to one side or the other, would that have any impact to fitment?

    Aftermarket Wheel Lug Nut Torque for 1500

    Curious what torque people are using for their aftermarket wheels/lugs. 130 ft-lbs like stock or something lower?

    KSP UCAs. Budget friendly option?

    I have no experience with these but there's also: Dirt King: https://dirtkingfabrication.com/collections/ram-1500/products/heim-upper-control-arms-dk-541903 Carli: https://carlisuspension.com/product/dodge/ram-1500/components-ram-1500/2009-18-components/ram-1500-upper-control-arm-2009/

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    Oh, I didn't realize you were using the Valvoline for your bushings too. I have some of that for the delta joints. I could have figured that out based on the photo of the grease, haha.

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    I used the super lube, but I picked up some Lucas red n tacky yesterday and I'm going to give that a try. I've also had a hard time getting grease to come out both sides of the bushings.

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    So, greasing the bushing helped for about a week, but the bushings returned to being incredibly noisy. Any thoughts? Should I remove and reinstall and try to grease them better? The noise is definitely from the bushing.

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    Good information, thanks ram1500rsm. I tried to grease them without loosening the bolts at first and the grease wouldn't go through the zerk.

    Alignment after greasing UCA frame bushings?

    I recently greased my frame bolts/bushings (Icon Delta Joint), and to get the grease to flow through the bushing I had to loosen up the bolts. Would loosening these bolts warrant an alignment?

    Just got my TRX.....

    Beautiful truck, I love that color. There's a TRX same color I see most mornings walking the dog on the north side of Richmond, that's not you is it?

    PSA...Use Some Lube! King 2.5 Preload Adjustment

    This makes me feel way better, haha. Nothing like dinging up your brand new set of $1600 coilovers.

    PSA...Use Some Lube! King 2.5 Preload Adjustment

    I'm embarrassed to admit, but I actually broke the T-Handle tool, lol. I had to order another one, but they are worth the cost. Much better than the straight tool that comes with the coilovers. I damaged the preload adjuster a bit (bent the lip of the hole) before I gave up and finally read...

    PSA...Use Some Lube! King 2.5 Preload Adjustment

    Maybe that's the wrong word, but I keep reading them being called that. The height adjustment rings that you rotate around the threaded shock body. The "Preload Nut" in diagram below:

    PSA...Use Some Lube! King 2.5 Preload Adjustment

    Just thought I would post this friendly reminder. I was having an absolute horrible time adjusting the preload on my kings. Truck was on jack stands, so coilovers were not loaded. I couldn't get the preload clamps to budge after a couple turns. Added a small amount of WD-40 to the top and bottom...

    Clayton Rear Panhard

    Oof, that's awesome. Do I buy one and swap it out for the bent version? I wish they had these before I bought mine. Any thoughts if I'll have an issue with the sway and pan hard making contact? This is with Icon 1.5 springs, core 4x4 +2 end links and Hellwig sway:

    Haha, doh I totally missed they were marked. Thanks!

    King shocks backordered/delays due to Covid

    Thanks for the heads up! I purchased the T handle prior to the coilovers so luckily I already have it. What's interesting is mine seem to be reversed based on the curvature of the hoses. The hoses should bend towards the front of the vehicle right? The larger of the two gaps looks like it's on...

    King shocks backordered/delays due to Covid

    Yes and yes, I'm thinking I'm going to add maybe 2-3 turns to them to get the truck a bit more leveled as I have the Icon 1.5 springs in rear. Waiting on the Icon UCA to install them though.
