    Rear .75" or 1" poly spacer, does it exist?

    Howdy folks. Another post reminded me that I'd like to lift my rear end (post Bilstein 2.1" up front lift) about .75" or 1" but I'm having a heck of a time finding a poly spacer. TCG used to carry a 1" poly for the rear but no longer. I see a handful of steel ones and figured I'd reach out to...

    Replacing hubs and CV axles, any no brainers while torn apart?

    Howdy folks, the front driver's side wheel bearing is going out. The truck has 109k miles, all factory original up front with the exception of the Bilstein 5100s I installed. Got a pair of Timken wheel hub assemblies on the way and grabbed a pair of CV half-shafts for $65 a side. No issues...

    Base 6-speaker system HU upgrade clarifications

    Howdy, I've got the base 6-speaker system with only the phone oriented buttons on my steering wheel. I also have the backup camera. I've been trying to compile notes on what adapters and such I'll need to retain the camera and the steering wheel phone functions and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed...

    Re clear-coating bumper cover. Help & advice needed.

    Howdy folks, I'm in the process of correcting the paint and laying down a coat of CQuartz 3.0 on my recently purchased 2014 1500 and so far the results have been great. The front bumper cover though is pretty bad. There were no previous accidents reported on the carfax but while claying the...

    How many coats of clear does factory use on 4th generation?

    Hey folks, going through correction on my 14' 1500 and wondering how many coats of clear the factory uses. I don't have a fancy thickness gauge and I can't seem to pull up anything definitive via search. I don't want to get too aggressive if they skimp or in general the coats are soft. Anyone...

    Paint correction on DD, breaking it up

    Howdy, so I've had the truck for a few weeks now and had the chance to do a few things but I've been anxious to start working on the paint. Service intervals were religiously kept, there is only minor surface rust on the underside, zero on body and in general the truck was in great shape. She's...

    5100s installed @ 2.1 w/ stock rear height

    Installed the 5100 series all the way around with the front set @ 2.1. I thought I'd need to grab a .75" spacer from TGC but I'm left with exactly 1/4" of rake so I think I'll leave it for now. At the same time I installed PowerStops's Z36 (truck & tow) slotted/drilled rotor and pad kit all the...

    5.7 plug change through wheel well

    Changed the plugs after realized that while the previous was religious about fluids and service intervals, they missed the 100k w/ the plug change (currently have 107k on it). Being a 14, I got the mopar iridiums and the gearwrench swivel socket that came highly recommended by other members...

    Creaking sound inside when turning or wiggling in seat

    Howdy folks, I recently purchased a used 14 CC and love everything about it but there is this creaking sound that I can't track down. The odd thing is I can trigger it a few different ways. 1. If I rock hard side to side on the seat it happens. 2. If (while shut off) I turn the wheel back and...

    New here, from the Poconos.

    Hey folks. First time Ram owner and couldn't be happier with the 14' CC 5.7 4x4 we found. Right at 107k miles but the previous owner was pretty religious with fluid changes and service intervals. Only light surface rust on bits and pieces but zero on the body. So far it appears that the only...
