Strange feeling in the break pedal after lift.

[junior81]

Yea I did, After looking on several dodge forums I came across a guy with same set up as my truck. He's been having these noises from his front suspension and couldn't figure out what it was.went to dealer swap front driveshaft and nothing. He even uninstalled and reinstalled the lift up front just to go over everything and nothing.this guy posted everything he did and gave several updates.Turns out it was the brackets that drop down the front differential. The angle on the pinion was really high. Where the front diff meets the driveshaft. After contacting rough country they sent brackets right away at no charge. I'll post pics of the before and after brackets. Anyways once I installed them everything seems good. Feels and runs well. I also had to trim the skid plate a bit because it hit the front diff. I'll post the link to the thread later this way you guys can read up on it.

According to rough country they say this only affects the 2012 ram 1500 4x4. So anybody with 4" inch lift may want to check with them if it apply's to their lift and year of truck to get replacement brackets. I'll also post pics of the angle on the front diff before and after.

You can see the difference in brackets. The dirty ones are the before.View attachment 11686View attachment 11687

That's bizarre. Those are clearly night and day. I wonder what happened there. Could you measure the first two brackets and PM me the measurements? I'm throwing my 4" on this weekend hopefully.

If your brackets look like the dirty ones in the pic you received the wrong brackets. If you need any more info on in Pm me and I'll send you the info of the RC rep who helped me out. He's pretty much aware of the issues with this kit.
