Finally bit the bullet

[Thatdude596]

Can't decide to install the bilstein 5100 and a 1.5 spacer in back.

 

[R.L.K.]

If you do you'll likely have ball joint issues , unless you change to a beefier UCA

 

[Thatdude596]

Why would they give me ballpoint issues, not upgrading uca. Curious was never heard this.

I think he might be referring to the angle because your truck will be sitting a good 10+" higher then stock.

Anyone know anyone that has ran my setup plus the bilstein 5100s

Nice truck! That thing is a monster.
Ive been running bilsteins maxed but with a rcx 6", not sure about the procomp. I got just about 47,000 miles and no issues or shaking in 4x4. Mine is a 2012.

Hoping someone had some knowledge on running the 5100s with the 6" pro comp. Body lift doesn't affect anything with suspension and angles

Thank.you for the compliment

Called pro comp to ask about a steering stabilizer and was told nothing for 1500 ram. Are there any out there that will work for my application.

My bad man I misspoke ! I didn't read the last two words of you post (in back) I responded thinking you ment bils and 1.5" spacers up front ! I apologize ...

I'll say this if your front lift has spacers up front already you may have CV angle issues with bils up front as well . I think I've seen on here that not only can you put beefier UCAs on for the ball joint stress issue but also high angle axles too . Not positive on how the axles work ...

 

[Thatdude596]

Ok question would 2.1 on the bilsteins make any difference in height to the eye

 

[Thatdude596]

Afraid going 2.8 with existing lift and tires will be more of a hassle than worth. So if I go 2.1 whst size rear spacer 1 or 1.5

Here's a pic I took yesterday while running some errands

 

[draken]

the more i see it the higher i want to go on mine now! Looks good brah.

 

[Thatdude596]

Everyone says it's huge but to me it's still to small! I know exactly what you're saying.

 

[R.L.K.]

Wow ! I want 9 -11 inches now ...Damn did I just say that out loud ?? ?

 

[Thatdude596]

Ok I miss my 5.00 ultimate car washes already. Grrrrrr

 

[R.L.K.]

Well when you have 11 " you just can't have everything you want ... dude596 I really like your truck , one of my favorites for sure !
Question , does your suspension lift have spacers above or below the coils up front ?

 

[Thatdude596]

No idea! I will look tomorrow and get some pics for ya..

Needs some paint matched fender flares asap

 

[CMil527]

Truck looks great!!

Truck looks great!

I keep reminding myself I don't need to add 6" suspension or then I have to change tires again, lol.
