    Are you guys typically doing this every oil change? Or every few?

    Just a little lift?

    A lot of guys go with the Bilstein 5100 adjustable strut to lift the front end a little.

    New shorty headers on the market, I think.

    Anyone get any leaks with these? I've had them on a year or so with Remflex gaskets and I'm starting to get a tickticktick noise when I accelerate and an exhaust smell. I won't have a chance to check it out for a couple of days to see what's going on with it.

    Anybody experience significant rake with Superlift?

    Isn’t the silver thing under the strut spacer a preload spacer? If so that shouldn’t be there with the Bilsteins. They should use the adjustable clip on the Bilsteins to raise height instead of the preload spacer + strut spacer combo.

    Anybody experience significant rake with Superlift?

    If they’re set to zero then something is definitely wrong with the setup.

    Anybody experience significant rake with Superlift?

    Did you get the kit with the Bilstein struts in front? If so did they max them out?

    Ram 1500 Rear driveshaft U Joints

    I plan on replacing both of the U Joints on the rear driveshaft of my 2010 1500 4wd. I searched the forum but don't see many threads on U Joints for 4th gen 1500s. Any recommendations on brand or part number that I should get?

    Lower control arm bushing

    I appreciate the info, everything I saw before said the only way to get those was used. I checked them out and they are about $200 shipped so a little steep for what I need them for. I might consider it and see if I can re-sell the struts without the coil seat.

    Lower control arm bushing

    So I decided to go ahead and replace the LCAs. The problem I'm running into now is I have to reuse the spring seat from the stock strut to install my Bilstein 5100s. Well I didn't realize it before I started but the struts that were on the truck when I bought it (Speedy Strut) have a coil seat...

    Lower control arm bushing

    Unfortunately still not able to get it in. I'm going to buy a different brand of bushings to rule out an issue with the part and if that doesn't work I might just replace the whole control arm so I don't have to fight with it anymore.

    Lower control arm bushing

    Thanks guys. I found that advice last night after posting so they’ve been in the freezer overnight. I’ll give it a go later today and see how it goes.

    Lower control arm bushing

    What’s the trick to getting a new bushing in there? I was able to press out the old bushing and sleeve from the strut mount but the new bushing/sleeve doesn’t want to go in there at all. It’s almost like they’re too big but I know they are the correct bushing kit.

    Going from 4” to 6” Superlift

    Bumping this to see if anyone has converted their lift kit or has info on what spring options there are.

    Going from 4” to 6” Superlift

    I picked up my 2010 Ram 4wd a couple of years back and it has the 4” Superlift kit on it. I want to go to a 6” lift.I have Bilstein 5100s already installed on the rear and have them ordered but not installed on the front. I believe I also need taller springs for the back. Is there anything...

    Help identifying longer front sway bar links

    I want to say I traced a part number on the knuckle back to a supermaxx 4” lift when I first got the truck. They probably use something similar.

    Help identifying longer front sway bar links

    False alarm it was a spacer. Sprayed with liquid wrench and gave it some time and got it off. Thanks for the help.

    Help identifying longer front sway bar links

    I bought a used 2010 ram 1500 4wd around a year or two ago. The front sway links/bushings were shot so I ordered some Moog replacement links k80894. Went to install them today and they are about 4 inches shorter than the ones that I took off. They almost look like there is some sort of spacer...

    Wheel bearing? CV Axle? Something else?

    2010 Ram 1500 4wd. Need some help diagnosing this issue. I’m getting some clunking noises when turning and going over bumps. Sometimes I can feel it in the steering wheel. It’s definitely from the front drivers side. I jacked it up today and didn’t find much play in the tie rods or anywhere...

    Flowmaster FlowFX muffler 72288 vs 72198

    Yeah I’m leaning the 18” because of that but I was also wondering what the tone difference would be.
