Lifted 2wds

[ramin44s]

anyone running these 06-08 Ram 1500 Upper Arms for Lifted Trucks going to order them wondering if i should order them red or just black either one should look good

 

[Oefootball_70]

Going for more lift? And I would do red. It would look sick and draw people's eyes to them at shows and such.

I agree with Ryne, go for the eye catching color!

ya i may go up allitle more ive heard these are great uppers and my factory balljoints need to be replaced sometime soon anyways so figured i will just do these, im just afraid i dont have enough red to pull it off, i do have red shock boots and stuff so maybe it will be fine, im going to possibly paint my wheel calipers red also

 

[TexasRammer]

Id say go red. If your getting something that nice, might as well show it off!

 

[ramin44s]

That's what im leaning towards with red calipers just don't want it to look out of place

 

[Oefootball_70]

Do you have rockstars? Paint the star red and calipers red and UCAs red. That would look nice.

That's a really easy lift to do with basic tools, should not have any issues call some local off-road shopsit

Some have seen my truck and thread already but I thought I'd be a part of this thread since there are so few of us lifted 2wd guys around.

The truck is an 05 with 2wd Rough Country 6" suspension lift, Moto Metal 20x10 951's with Nitto Terra Grapplers 305/55/20's, yes they are 33's.
So far everything has been flawless, this has been a great combination.

Looks great will be running this exact setup soon!

Hows the ride quality?

I can honestly say it isn't much different or even better than stock. I run 20's so that can take away from ride quality some but is someone can improve on that by running 18's. Personally I love the 20's.

The one thing that took me by surprise is how much turning radius I lost, not sure if it because of the -18 offset wheels or the lift itself, prob the combination of the two. You really have to think ahead while making turns like going through drive-thru at McD's or parking spaces or any tight turns. I always back in parking spaces now because it's so much easier.

 

[Oefootball_70]

Yeah, that's a good point. Deff loss of turning radius. I can't do a U-turn unless it's a three lane road. Two is not enough.

Same here, 2 and a half lanes might do it. I can not take a 90* right into a lane or driveway from the right lane without going way wide. That really took me by surprise.

weedahoe showed me were you can grind a small knotch where the spindle contacts the lower control arm.... front and back of the spindle.... He did his and it turns like stock.
All it takes is a grinding wheel and about an hr. I plan to do it once I get a grinder lol

It aint easy.... bein' Easy

 

[Oefootball_70]

[swamp_life hemi 05]

It aint easy.... bein' Easy
