As the title states.

Have a 2009 Ram that the previous owner did a lot of work to. I have done little odds and ends to it. Just received my custom badges from Billet Badges. Will not get em installed for few weeks.....

I am trying to get it somewhat double duty. Show and work truck... Currently have a Coachman bumper pull that weighs in around 6.5k pounds. Added air springs to rear...

Day I brought her home




Custom paint from P.O.




Got a set of 17's and had them powdercoated almost like Rhino lining. Made for a better ride.. Also, I volunteer with the local Skywarn, so i needed wheels that would not be hard to replace if damaged.

And yes, she has won best in class. (once)

I remember that truck too on another forum.

 

[used2bfast]

Yea, I am thinking he did not work her too hard.. Tried to see if he had any pics of the truck " working".. (was going to add picture to the ones I take to shows).. Guess he did not have any...

Kind of hard to keep things in line when using it as a truck... But, its all good..

Hi Used2B....If you haul or tow heavy loads....

Hi Used2B,

Welcome to RF! Enjoy your new (to you) RAM! Really like those wheels!

There are a lot of great people and tons of info here.

Since you mentioned work truck, please take a look at the new Total Load Control™ Air Suspension Systems.

TLC's patented system solves the RAM 1500 coil spring problem – smooth everyday ride that can’t handle heavy loads. TLC adds 5,000+ pounds of lift so your truck will always be level - and TLC improves steering, handling and braking too.

TLC™ is a revolutionary patented air suspension that uses 9" Goodyear air springs - the largest on any full-size truck. TLC’s air springs operate independent of the factory suspension so they don’t interfere with the smooth factory ride. In fact, TLC can give your truck a “sportier” feel.

TLC's air springs have at least 5 times the power of "air springs" inside the coils. TLC levels heavy loads with only 20-30 psi so the air springs remain flexible compared to others that require 80-100 psi.

TLC also has a new model, DGHD-2535, for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks (2002-2012). This unit is super tough with 1/4" steel platforms that will level the heaviest loads, trailers and boats. TLC's 9" air springs have at least 3 times the air volume of systems that use 6” air springs.

All TLC models are easy to install; fit single or dual exhaust and require no modifications. You can order with or without a Viair air compressor and gauge/switch.

Of course, TLC cannot increase GVWR or GCWR so please do NOT EXCEED the manufacturer's recommendations.

Our customers tell us - until you try TLC, you've never experienced the full power of air bags or had Total Load Control.

Shipping for the 1500 unit is free in the continental US, $40 to Canada, and $100 internationally (We ship US Post Office Priority Mail or UPS Ground). Shipping for the DGHD-2535 depends on your location as it’s a heavier unit.

We have a limited-time coupon good for $50 off any TLC purchase until June 15. Please use checkout code: RAM50OFF.

You have that Right.... It will be slow process.

Thanks John, I will look into those. I have Assist bags on it now and am not sure I like the design... Yours looks better than what I purchased.

I need to figure out a vibration before any other mods are done.
