Hello RAM fans, I have an issue with my rear suspension. Yes I used the search function and didn't get anywhere. I am familiar with the rear end "death wobble" and I don't think this is it.
I am running the Belltech 965SP drop kit (for 4x4 with the Street Performance shocks, other threads on the forum say that the Street Performance shocks aren't that great) with a Hellwig sway bar and AirLift 1000 helper bags. Also running 22" x 10" SRT10 reps with 305/40R22 Toyo Proxes.
I installed the suspension and my tire setup in summer of 2019 and after going through a bunch of issues with my tires not balancing it seemed like the rear bounce issue was corrected. (The original tire issue was at fault of the company I bought my wheel and tire package. They will remain nameless, however I will never buy from them again and never recommend them. PM if you are interested in knowing who they are. Turns out that the company sent me a bad set of tires. Wheels were not the problem.)
After the tire issue was fixed in late 2019 the rear suspension seemed to be smooth. The front alignment of my truck was also done right after I installed the suspension. Even though the front end was "aligned" I was getting some cupping on the inside of the tires. After a wheel rotation and a second alignment in spring 2020 my front tires/wheels still have some caster, or slight lean in towards the engine. My rears show a little bit of cupping since they were on the front and I am pretty sure that I have some cupping on my fronts now too. My wheels and tires were balanced again this past fall (around Sept-Oct) 2020 which seemed to help for a short time, maybe it was just my perception...
Fast forward to now, I am progressively getting a light flutter/bounce that seems to be getting a little bit worse over time. It seems like it is worse when the truck is cold and things aren't warmed up yet, and feels worse on different roads. It is actually getting pretty annoying because I know it should not ride like this. My wife's 2020 Durango R/T is smooth as hell.
Today I am going to double check my AirLift helper bag air pressures. I usually run between 10-15psi for normal driving. My tire pressure I set at 38psi. I am at the point of spending a bunch of money to fix the bounce or rip everything out and go back to stock or a bilsetin front level with a new wheel and tire set up. It is getting annoying. I absolutely love my truck, love my exhaust, get lots of turned heads, but I am considering selling the truck and getting into something totally different.
Any help will be appreciated!!!
