Been a busy week for my 5th Gen!

Last Saturday, had the RC 2” lift (spacers) put on and also got new Falken Wildpeak A/T w3 tires LT295/60-20.

All went well, even if slightly longer than expected.

Leaving, I noticed a rattle from front passenger side- sounded puke a lose shock. So pulled back around. 45 minutes later, they had pulled everything and re-torqued everything and sound was gone.

The MOPAR fold-out step arrived Thursday, so I was able to install that myself.

Also installed Infinity reference 3.5” dash speakers with the Crutchfield-included wiring adapters.

And also arriving via FedEx was the RC speedometer Calibrator. So I Fitbit updated and did the ECM update.

Over the last couple of days, started hearing a rattle from front driver’s side. So this AM, I went back to the shop. 45 minutes later, I have truck back and front end is completely quiet like before the level. cd1675c791c4693c549ed53843027943.jpgd68a411d91bc779b7c6642c6fc3fe28f.jpg7b3ac7f2c611fc305bbf2248701bed08.jpg

did you get the rough country pre load spacer 2” lift?

we have swapped 7 of those kits to Bilsteins in the last few months on the 5th gens. My shop is a specialty suspension shop so people come to us after having issues elsewhere. I worked with the first customer to try to quiet the squeaks and I was unsuccessful it kept coming back. Bilstein is the cheapest alternative and all problems have gone away. @Nick@GotExhaust can set you up with a set if your problem persists

Very nice start with your mods. I do agree with above that the spacers are not good for these trucks. If you start having some issues just swap them out.

Let me know if we can help with anything. We offer just about everything with special pricing for forum members. Bed covers, exhaust, intakes, steps, catch cans, oils, etc.....
