Bilsteins are on!!!

[Bertulis43]

Tires and bilstein 5100's were put on today along with alignment. It's dark out now to take pictures. The bils are set at 2.1, felt great to drive. No issues on the way home and on the highway. Felt a little slower lol. I will take better pictures tomorrow in the day light. But here are some teaser shots even though you all know what they look like @ 2.1

Looks good but good lord those wheels are curbed to hell! Unless it was the tire shop then bring that back and ask for new wheels.

I see what your talking about. There not curbed. It's soap from putting the tires on

No I didn't do the uca's. The bils are at 2.1 and no one said they needed to be done

Watch those uca's like a hawk, the bilsteins will start pushing up on the balljoints and they can pop out. 2014-2015 rams are bad for.
this and most people have installed new mevotech uca's to prevent early ball joint failure, in ky area i cannot find a shop that will do my truck without replacement due to safety factor

Not trying to steal the thunder from your thread, but should I replace my UCA's when I install my 6" suspension + Bil's this Spring on my 2012??

Where can I look to keep a hawk eye on them so I can see if I have to replace them. I'm new to this stuff

I've been running my rancho quick lift (2" level) for about 20k miles now and my upper ball joints are fine on my 2014. It'***** or miss and seems to be more prevalent with guys that run the Bilstens at 2.8"

See attachment

This is the ball joint he is talking about. Look at it from the top, it should be flush with the top of the upper control arm.

 

[Bertulis43]

I'll keep an eye on it. I'll check it later n see how it is. Thanks guys. More pics to come


Also my tire pressure light is on. Picked it up last night n it was fine. Started it this morning 21 dg n 3 tires showed 30 they were all at 35. What should they be ran at

It's not the bottom side you need to check on it's the top side of the top ball joint. You should be able to hang a finger nail all the way around it and that's it. The added angle stress to the top joint is making it pop out and usually the inside will be lifted out of the control arm.
