Inez 4/6 install advise..

[Lil John]

Hi all,

I'm sure I have read every thread on the Inez kit and then some but I'm gonna ask anyways just for peace of mind. I ordered the full kit plus the adjustable panh bar from Moes.. I'm hoping to install over the holiday break. Any words of wisdom? Advise? Things to make note of?

I own a 2015 regular cab 4x4 sport. Pretty much stock other than lighting upgrades ( thank you hid kit pros..). Window tint and flowmaster cat back.

The current plan and things I'm trying to be knowledgeable on are the 3/8" to 1/2" cut off on the inner tie rod. 2 coils cut off the rear for a level stance. Front upper control arm out 1/2" to meet alignment specs. Centering the rear end with the pan hard bar. Blue lock tight on the panhard lock nut.othet than that it should be straight forward on and off of parts type install. I picked up a few cans of black paint for the undercarriage to do the axel and frame after cutting the brackets and bumpstops. Plasma cutter is coming with the friend helping install. I have a lift and tools for days..am I missing anything?

I'm lost on what wheels I want. so the current plan is to run 285/55/20 on the stock sport wheels. But I have the ability to do a set of 24" Iroc wheels if I want. My tire guys ordered them for another customer who backed out and he's offering me a really good price ($900 with tires). I really didn't want to go bigger than 22" but I'll look at them when they do the alignment.

Am I missing anything? Words of wisdom from those who have done this install? Anything you would look out for while in the thick of it?

Thanks in advance for any input and thanks for the massive amount of info already available!!

As far as the rims go, I think bigger rims with less tire look great with vehicles lowered that much. What colour is your truck? I just googled some images of rams with iroc wheels and I think they are a good style, but would look even better in all black.
Definitely drive the truck with stock rims for a bit after you lower it so if it gets any sort of vibration or shimmy you will know it’s the suspension that needs to be looked at or adjusted and not the tires/wheels out of balance.
Can you please post a before pic?

Whats the tire size on the 24s?

I'm at a 5/7 with a 30.98" OD and my inner plastic fenders are tore up to basically nothing.

Just make sure the tires aren't too big on those 24s

You will have to stay around 30-30.5" tall on the tires. Any more and they will rub at least on dips in the road

I'm not excited about the 24s.. there just a really cheap option. I have been running 24s on my previous truck for the past 4 yrs and really wanted to go to 22s and pick up a little rubber. I'll post before and after pics. The truck is bright white.

Any advise on the actual kit and Install or do I Petty much have it covered ?

Be well set-up to lift the rear of the truck in the air a long ways,the brackets are a bit of a ***** to install unless the diff is hanging fairly low.I've put a few sets of relocation brackets on,and personally they are easier to do if you pull the housing out from under the truck.You can do the cutting with the diff still under the truck,but it's not as easy ,as just dropping the housing out completely. Buy lots of beer,lol

I second that. I pulled the rear end completely out. Much easier to get r done.

How did you deal with the brake lines?

How did you deal with the brake lines?

Pull the calipers and hang them with a coat hanger

I had planned to install everything over the holiday. Only to find Inez sent the wrong lower control arms. Both Moe's where I purchased the kit and Inez were quick to ship out the correct ones. Ill update this post in a couple weeks when I get the new arms.

Fingers crossed... This weekend is successful and my next post is completion photos..

 

[Lil John]

All done. Alignment made spec and only had a couple of hiccups on the way.. Now to get the 500#s of old suspension out of the back and take some real photos...

Still waiting on my wheels. OEM SRT 10s to come back from powder coating. No rub on the stockers. That surprised me.
