    Front CV axle bad? Card in spoke sound.

    Passenger side now has the card in the spoke sound when driving or coming to a stop. Even turning. It has an Eibach level lift. Its had a level lift on it for 25k to 30k miles or so. No offroad nor towing. Thinking CV axle? Thoughts?

    Bilstein Shocks

    Will the Bilstein B5100 for the 03-13 Ram 2500 4wd fit my 04 ram 1500 4wd with a 2.5” level kit kit? The pictures show the shocks looks the same style in the picture as the ram 1500 shocks and having a level kit I would assume they would fit. Does anyone know if they would fit or have tried...

    Rattle after suspension work

    Just installed Bilstein 6112s @ 2.8" (came preassembled) along with ReadyLift UCAs in the front, and 5100s with 1.5" Motofab spacers in the rear. I was pretty meticulous about torque specs and tightening everything up with suspension under full weight. I got a professional alignment done day...

    Front suspension lower

    I have a 2013 1500 with 60,000kms. After installing Bilstein 5100 and bags in the rear, the front sits slightly lower. What is the best way to fix this and level the truck nicely?

    Bilstein 5100 Rear Shocks and TufTruck Springs

    Looking at upgrading my OEM springs on my 2018 big horn to Tuftrucks but wasn’t sure which ones to get. Right now I have 1” spacers in the rear with bilstein 5100 shocks. Would adding the TufTruck 1223VT springs over extend the rear bilsteins? Everything I read about the bilsteins says they only...

    Zone 6" with Bilstein 5100??

    I'm thinking about which lift kit to get for my 4WD truck and I cant seem to find any bigger than 6". I found a Zone 6" (Sister company to BDS) that you can get with a 5" coil in the back to retain factory rake. I was thinking I could pair that with Bilstein 5100 or 6112 in the front set at...

    Adding to a 6" Lift

    I have a 2010 1500 5.7 4x4 and Im looking to lift it at some point. Could I get bilstein 5100's for the front to level it out for now and then down the road install a 6" lift in conjunction with the bilsteins? Also, any opinions on rough country? Offroading? Longevity/Durability?

    I just had my Bilstein 6112s set at 2.8" along with Zone offroad UCAs installed today. When I went to pick up my truck, the receptionist asked if I wanted my old leaf springs, which threw me off. 1) I was under the belief leaf spring were for rear ends not front ends. 2) I didn't know the...

    Anyone put Fox 2.0 shocks 983-02-020 (diesel) on a gas truck?

    Anyone put Fox 2.0 coil over shocks 983-02-020 (diesel) on a gas truck? I'd assume you get more of a lift since the diesel motor weights more? How was the ride? Thanks
