New to me 2018 Power Wagon. Spend my money!

[thkbaron]

yeah I'm going to google some pics tonight and form my opinion. One less thing to clean. Any ideas on a 1 inch lift for the front? I don't want the full 2 inches.

 

[thkbaron]

I don't really have any desire in going 2 inches, but will this kit from BDS work on my truck? BDS assured me they did not have a kit that will work. The price seems pretty good but then after I upgraded to the 2.0 shocks it doubles. Are the nx2 serie s shocks garbage?

Thuren is the most popular. So you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Check out some other builds and see what works and what was a waste of money. https://www.ramforum.com/search/15518561/?q=Power+wagon+Build+thread&o=relevance

Looked around a bit. I'm going to give Thuren a call next week. I want to see where my truck sits after the tires. It's damn close getting into the garage right now. I did however order two Deezee tailgate assists today. One for me and one for my dad.

Here is a 1.5” spacer kit. Thats what I have had on my power wagon. No issues.

And it’s not nose high?

 

[olyelr]

no, its still about 3/4-1” higher in the rear.

The ‘19s are slightly taller up front, so you might want to go with a 1” spacer if you want a small amount of rake still.

I have a 19?so I’m good

 

[Trailmaker]

I have an 18.

I have a 19?so I’m good

So do you have an 18 or 19?
If you have a 19 then I would not touch it. As the height is perfect. If you have the 18, then the spacer work well.

This stupid phone. Fat fingered it. I have an 18. I was looking at the 1.5 inch lift coils from Thuren. Seems to me that's the way to go if I plan on lifting it at all. Any idea on the longevity of the 4600 shocks that come on these trucks?

 

[thkbaron]

Got my tires on today. Way better than the 295s

Looks good. Still waiting to see how the stock tires handle the MN winters. I do hate that they are 33". Will probably go 35's next. Still need it to fit in the garage..

 

[thkbaron]

Well I have a 7 foot door and it barely squeezes in with this setup

 

[thkbaron]

Also you’ll have no issues with the duratracs. Tons of people run them up north here. But yeah. 33 inch tires. What a joke.

If flat tires are no issue than you are correct. The duratrash that come on these trucks are not nearly strong enough.

nope.

 

[thkbaron]

Got the tailgate assists installed on my and my dads trucks. I’m happy to say my truck is bigger than his. Haha. And he has the 2 inch front level! And I also have a pinion seal leak. Might do it myself.

Got the exhaust swapped out today. Nice and throaty. Barely audible on the highway.
