    Worn out springs causing rear to sit lower than front? Help

    Hey guys, recently had my 2012 ram 1500 lifted. There's been a couple of issues, the mechanic couldn't use the shocks that rough country sent me because they would simply fall out when the truck was lifted for some reason, he kept mine in their which didn't seem to cause any problems. However...

    Factory Coil Springs Versus After Market

    I purchased a 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel a month ago. Shame on me, but I didn't pay attention to payload thinking I should only be worried about towing capacity numbers. Fast forward a month and I've learned my vehicle has 2155 lbs of payload, which really sucks since I bought it to haul a 5th wheel...
