Peattie's Ram Runner Build

[FlyinHaYn]

The only down side to the Wide front fenders is that there is no kit for the inner wells. I have a diesel and its a PITA because my turbo and intake is exposed on one side, as well as the wire harnesses on the other.
You may want to consider aluminum bending or some type of mat to mold in, that's what i'm in the process of doing.

Yeah I'm looking into that. My dad has a raptor so I go on the raptor forums every now and then to get ideas for my truck. Im trying to talk to a few companies to see if they can make a set for me

Hey man, it'll be a good choice to go with a pure performance kit. Not just cause i work there, but i've just hit 15,000 miles on my kit and haven't had a single problem. Except I can't stop anywhere without people talking to me about my truck LOL. I've got tons of pictures so let me know if you have any questions or just want to check it out. It's for sure the biggest bang for your buck on the market right now. Also all of
Our kits have the option to upgrade parts. So if you want to start out with the X factor kit or triple threat you can work your way up to a chase series as money becomes availible. Looks like its gonna be a nice build though and pretty similar to mine!

Your truck looks deadly. What did you do for wheel wells?

 

[Shaunm59]

A few things to suggest here. 1. Ive seen the pure performance stuff, not impressed with the quality and craftsmanship. 2. Save your money and do it once. Don't dump all your money into the front end because you'll end up with an ok front end and a rear end that bucks worse than a damn bronco. You need to have a balanced truck, suspension wise. 3. Being an owner of an actual ram runner, and seeing and driving other wana be's, its just not comparable to any other system out for the truck. 4. In case you don't believe mwhat I'm saying, I promise, I'm not trying to mislead anyone. Only trying to help, because at the end of the day, its all about showing up the dumb raptor guys. And I build $250,000 raptors for a living. I have a little bit of knowledge about off road trucks.

I'm interpreting what your saying is don't bother building a ram runner unless your going to do a prerunner bed cage? Or is there a kit out there you can suggest as may be wrong but I believe mopar no longer makes the ram runner kit.

Im in the process of building a ramrunner using the pure performance kit w/ a bed cage. King 8" travel shocks in the front and king 16" coil overs in the rear. Pure performance kit is less invasive then the Kore kit as less welding and no need to cut the CV shafts in half.

Can you keep us updated with your build? are you doing it in stages or all at once

All at once and will be revealed when its done with a full build log.

 

[HemiPower36]

A promising build tread..... With absolutely no build. As soon as I read the "I am a full time student" line I knew......there is no prerunner build here hahaha.

Because I had to replace the transmission... The money saved for the build was needed to be put towards that.

 

[Crescent1101]

That sucks having a 2012 and already having to replace the tanny! Good luck on the build. One day I would like a truck build like this but I live in Florida so not a lot of desert.

 

[sbuko213]

Hey I'm looking to do pretty much the exact build that you started out wanting to do. How much travel does the Triple Threat System actually provide?

 

[sbuko213]

Hey how much difference in the amount of travel is it between the X-Factor and Triple Threat?

 

[Peattie]

There is no travel difference from the two kits. The only difference is the parts that come with it. Remote reservoir coils vs a standard style coil. x factor is just meant to be a basic, entry level kit. you can always swap out for better coil or dual shock setup.

Without a front sway bar its supposed to be 16"

Gotcha, so a sway bar unlocking mechanism of sort will be necessary too

I was planning on keeping mine off. little bit of body roll never hurt anybody.

Yea this is my daily so I'd like them on there for commuting. I'll probably put the airbags on the rear too. That should affect the kit I don't think though since I'm pretty sure the site recommends it

It recommends air bags if you're towing. usually long travel has a soft spring rate to soak up bumps, thus creating more of a sag with towing.

Call pure, I don't know if they have sway bar mounts on the control arms
