    IHC 4/6 lowering install on 2021

    I am installing an IHC (Inez Hot Rods / Suspension) 4/6 lowing kit on my dads new 2021 5th Gen 1500 2WD. Having problems with the strut lining up with the lower control arm. Seams to be too far inboard and to the rear. The strut hits the frame and can't go inboard far enough to line up the...

    4th gen 4x4 2500 lowered

    Try Timbergrove. They have air bag systems that will ride better than stock and adjustable. They have stock, leveled, and lowered brackets. Makes a great quality product and a nice guy. Be sure to do the CRM. Replaces coils instead of overload bags. I have them on my lowered 1500 and they...

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    This is true. I have all the wiring so I installed a 1k ohm resistor in the plug by the hood latch. I ordered a hood latch with the switch now that I have it working. The wiring I got with the kit was a pin to go in one of the blank locations under the PCM with a resistor and a ground lug ...

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    So I figured it out with the correct instructions from John Lance. I bought the key fob overlays and wiring from him on FB. For 2012 and probably older ones set the following: RAM 1500 (DS/DX/DT) > Body Computer > Central Gateway Module MY2006-12Non-PowerNet > Car configuration change >...

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    I'm trying to install remote start on my 2012. I have the key fob overlays with remote button. I already had the wiring to the hood latch so I installed a 1kohm resistor there until I get a new hood latch with a switch. The instructions for 2013+ say to set the following Remote start present-...

    Viking Shock settings with IHR 4/6

    UPDATE: I forgot to come back here and report what I found. The problems I was having was a VERY bouncy ride or really stiff depending on the shock settings. When I first installed my IHR kit I had Monroe Reflex shocks all around. A little soft and not the best handling but it was...

    Double Check Your Inez Brackets

    Those are some scary pictures with the broken ball joint. Hope know one was injured other than the damage to the truck. How many miles did you have on your kit when this happened? I was concerned about this when I had to put SO MUCH torque on the lower ball joints to get them in far enough...

    Lowering effect on fuel economy and stability

    I started with stock and lowered to 4/6. I track my mileage both computer and by hand. I use the same route (70 mile work commute) to compare before and after. I saw 1-1.5 mpg less after the drop.

    Inez 4/6 install advise..

    I would second the Ford sway bar end links. I did it after the drop was installed and it made a difference in the ride quality. I also say check the front fender wells after some miles and big bumps. With the 22's you should be lower diameter and may not have as many problems. Still check as...

    4/6 to 5/7

    I have a 4/6 IHR kit on mine. I too wanted lower than 4 in the front. When I first installed mine I had the stock tires (33" tall) and wasn't ready to replace the tires. IHR suggested I install 1" spring spacers so I didn't rub. Instead I spent a lot of time modifying the inner fenders...

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Yes it would be self equalizing but that's not what you want. the driver side has more weight especially with a full tank. you need different spring rates so separate valves. the lower you go the more obvious it is at the fender gap

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Yes, two Schrader valves for now, one each side. I'm waiting to decide if I go with front bags before I get an air system. Working fine for now. I had the helper bags in the coils before and they changed so much with the temperature keeping them at low pressure was hard. These bags are more...

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Yeah, wanted to do this for a while but the price tag made me wait. Surprised I can't find any reviews other than a 2009 article from Truck Trend on the Ride Tech shock wave for these trucks. Makes me hesitant there is a reason. Now that I have the rear bags I'm closer but not sure about the...

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Just an update. Been talking with Steve at Timbergrove. Great guy and makes quality stuff. I bought a set of rear bags from him. I did the lower mount (he said 5/8" lower than the 6" drop mount) with the 5k bags instead of the 6k bags he has been doing. I went with the smaller bags hopping...

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Thanks, that helps a lot! I think I'm in the same boat. I'm running my rear shocks at 3/7 now so not far off. Sounds like I need to give Timber Grove a call. BTW, what size tires are you running? I'm running 285/50-20's and yours looks much lower. Maybe 265/50 or 22's? Here is mine.

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    Your trucks looks great! Did you have to do anything to have it ride lower or just less air? What are you using for air, Timber Grove auto level? Also what do you have your Viking shocks set to? I have them already. Did you lower your truck with the air bags or did you have it lowered with...

    Timber Grove on a 4/6 or 5/7 drop?

    I know they make rear bags for a 6 in drop but has anyone used them with a 5/7 drop? If so how is the ride unloaded? I have seen many great comments but know one with a lowered truck and no comments on how it rides empty. I have an IHR 4/6 but lowered to about 4.5/7. Not real happy with the...

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    UPDATE: I emailed AlfaODB and they sent me several different fixes with no luck. Still could not change any settings. They then had me try the Windows version. Still no luck so I unplugged my battery for a few hours. Bam! The Windows version now works great! Made the changes I needed. I...

    Anyone Ever Found Wheelskins/hubcaps for this Factory Wheel?

    I have the same one's on my 2012. I have looked a lot for black covers and nothing. A while back I found some chrome ones but they are no longer available. I am planning to sand and paint mine black. My chrome is pitted and scratched so I don't think I can make them worse. I looked at...

    Tonneau Covers and Fuel mileage

    My experience is yes, slightly. I track my mileage regularly and the before and after showed about 0.5 mpg better with the BakFlip hard cover. I put it on for security but it did help a little. Based on other factors (lift, tires, driving style, etc) you may not see a difference. I have a...

    IHR change to rubber bushings?

    Has anyone replaced the polyurethane bushings in the Inez Hotrod front control arm with an OEM style rubber bushing? I'm thinking it may help with the harshness on ruff roads. I have a squeak now and am thinking of disassembling and greasing the bushings. As long as I have it all apart it...
