    Need Help Mysterious Clunk

    My 2015 Ram Crew Cab 4x4, an oddball with 6'4" bed, has started making a clunking sound when I go over bumps, even when barely moving. It happens when driving straight. I can't say I have noticed it happening or not when turning. Oddly, I don't seem to hear it as much on taller bumps. It...

    Replacing 20x8 rims with 17x9

    My 2015 1500 Big Horn came with 20x8 "chrome clad" rims. I plan to get a 4" lift and 35x12.50 tire and also want more side-wall. So, I plan to get 17x9 rims. Will I run into any problems going down in rim size like that? Also, I am having trouble finding rims I like. I like sturdy looking...

    4th Gen Front Tow Hooks

    What are good, heavy duty front tow hooks for my 2015 Ram 1500 Big Horn? I see what I believe are OEM ones that are like $210 per hook. They don't look very heavy duty. But, maybe they are. I see after-market ones for much cheaper that look the same. What do yall have? And, did you cut out...

    2500 Lifting

    I have a 2015 Ram 1500 that I am about to lift. I planned to do 4" Zone lift (3" rear) and put Bilstein 5100s on the front to lift it enough to get it close to level. That seems like a recommended lift by many on this forum. Zone seems to have a good reputation here. Buuuut. The local...

    Understanding Gear Ratio

    My 2015 Ram 1500 has 3.92 gear ratio (window sticker). It came with 275/60/R10 tires, which are effectively 33" tall. I want to lift the truck and put on larger tires. I looked at 'effective gear ratio' charts and the calculator on tiresize.com. Looks like my effective ratios would be: 35"...

    Wheel Load Capacity

    I think I have everything picked out to lift my 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 - except wheels. Is there a load capacity I should not go below? The wheels I'm looking at say 2200 lbs. Another wheel says 3500 lbs despite being a tad lighter. 2200 lbs just seems low. But, most of the wheels I see are 2200...

    I have a 2015 1500 4x4 crew cab with 6'4" bed (longer wheel base) and 5.7L, 3.92 gears. My back tires are worn out. So, it is finally time to do a lift and get new rims. I originally wanted a 6" Zone lift with 37x12.50 tires. But, then I saw a chart showing how that affects the gear ratio...

    Black Rhino Warlord Color

    I have a 2015 Ram 1500 in Granite Crystal Metallic. I am looking for new rims and like the look of the Black Rhino Warlord rims. I am wondering what the 'matte gunmetal' finish looks like in-person. There isn't a dealer anywhere near here. Can anyone speak to how close these rims are in...

    Garage Height

    I have a 2015 Ram 1500 and am thinking of getting a 6" lift and 37s. I am also getting estimates on building a garage. I dont know whether to get the door 8' or 9' tall. My current (full and too short) garage has a door slightly taller than 8' and my truck with 275/60/R20 tires seems to have...

    Are my 2015 Big Horn Rims 20x8 or 20x9?

    The window sticker (downloaded online) says: 20-Inch x 8.0-Inch Aluminum Chrome Clad Wheels But, when I measure them with a tape measure, they seem to be 9 inches wide. Also, All posts I read seem to indicate Ram trucks come with 20x9 rims.
