2014 RAM 1500 11" lift with 38's

[cbell]

I have just purchased a 2014 RAM 1500 4x4 Big Horn Crew Cab. I have a 6" RC lift, bilstein 5100s set 2.8, 3" body lift with gap guards that I am installing now. I also have 20x12 MOTO METAL MO962s on the way wrapped in Kumho 38x15.5x20s.

I have plans to add front and rear IRON BULL bumpers in the next month with "D" rings and WARN winch, Smitty Built M1 mesh grill, soft tonneua cover, CREED light bar with SoCal Super Trucks mounts, debating on a 3" dump with auto cut-out but not set on that yet.

Any suggestions or reviews on any of the parts being used or planned for future?

Thanks for info in advance!,
Charles (Newbi)

I prefer to stick with the 1/2 ton. Less weight in mud and in sand here in Oklahoma. Plus that Hemi can also be converted to CNG.

I just sold my '13 1500 on 38s because it popped both upper ball joints out of the control arms. You probably want to get Zone upper arms but since they're longer and you have Bilsteins at 2.8 you most likely won't be able to get the camber in spec. Mine were at 2.1 and the positive camber couldn't be adjusted any further negative and was half a degree or so out.

I got to looking at the upper control arms and found that Fabtech also makes a set with the 1" uniball. What's the thoughts on ZONE vs. Fabtech?

I spoke with the tech at ZONE today and he told me the upper control arm is not any longer but the joint is angld different to allow a more "neutral position on the joint". Thanks again for the heads up.
