What did you do TO your RAM today?

[PGHChris81]

Do they make some sort of bracket/adaptor?

 

[G Mcpherson]

I wouldn't use one. Talk to Don at thuren or someone at CJC.

They are not long enough for the Coil Travel.

The Thuren coil springs I put on are only 1.00". After I put the tires back on and took the truck off the jacks, there was only about a 3/4" to 7/8" difference from the stock ride height. I plan on swapping out the shocks down the road but I think the Bilstiens will do fine. I like a little front end rake in a truck and just wanted to soften the ride up front and provide a little more clearance.

You ought to pull off those rotor retainer clips while your at it.

Installed this guy last night....took it for a 20-25 mile round trip drive to dinner last night....no leaks and unloaded the 69 never got above 140...I have another wheeling trip coming up with just the one rig this time so I'll be pulling around 9500 lbs....I'll post the temps when I get back from that trip....

3500 mile trip...temps stayed below 160 majority the time....was moving quickly on this trip...on the interstate was at 75-77 and in the mountains with all the climbing never broke 170...there were several 11-12k ft mountain passes we pulled...very happy with that thermal bypass.....

Also installed the driver side AMP Bedstep II. Not real happy with the way it lines up. Have to tweak it to get it level somehow.

Any more pics, and or specs of the rims/tires? How far out past the rear fender do the stick? Looks amazing!

Sorry for the late response. Just got back home from an emergency trip out of state. The wheels are Ultra Scorpion 17" x 6.5". I used Ford steel inner wheels from a 2017 F350 because they are also 6.5" wide and fit perfectly. I mounted TOYO Open Country AT3's in 255/80-17. I will post some pics when I get a chance.

Looks amazing, man. I’ve got 255 85 17s on the way. Will finally get those Night Edition wheels on.

Edit: If you get a chance post some pics on the Reg Cab thread in Members Trucks. I’d love to see them. I need a Nerf Bar solution. My fat ass has to work to get up in this thing.

More like, WHAT SOMEONE DID TO MY RAM! Well, I had a 2 day class in Houston. The wife came with me for a little vaca from the kids. We flew in and got a rental. The only thing they had at time was a mini van or a Ram 1500. Of course, I picked the Ram! Well, Thursday I got out of class early. Our flight was at 6:00pm. We decided to stop at Pappasito’s in Humble, TX to eat lunch. And then we came out to this!! Mind you we were in there less then 1 hour and it’s noon! They nabbed my backpack. It had my passport, Mariner’s credentials, a tablet, Air Pods, and of course my wife’s keys (we drove her car to airport). Well, no Passport means I can’t go to work, this Tuesday. Which means I won’t be paid! I work overseas in South America on 28 day rotation. And, the earliest appointment I can get to get a new one is August 30!!! Chances are they took tablet and AirPods and just chucked my backpack!! Worst part is that I can track location of the AirPods, and I’ve been tracking there location. I didn’t even think about it until after we got back home! Absolutely worst day I’ve had in a long time! On top of all that, flights were delayed for 6 hrs and we didn’t get home until 3:30am!!

Anyway, thanks for all you guys hearing my venting!!!

Some days a person wonders why did I get out of bed. Hope things look up for your family.

What a nightmare trip. are the police willing to do anything with your tracking information?

I doubt it. The officer that came to file original report has passed the info off to detectives but I honestly don’t see them pursuing it, with it being such low value items. The passport is the most valuable to me, because I can’t go to work. And now, can’t get a new one until Aug. 30. I’ll miss more than a week of work!

are you close to a hub that does same day?
they changed the appointment method from online to phone because people were selling appointments. so you have to call. you may be able to get one closer in date. it will take a bit of work on the phone, it is possible however.

Finally got some pictures:
The gap between the tires is with 45 psi and no load. The nerf bars are for a 2021 Ram 1500 classic regular cab short bed. The step works great for the front of the bed.

I also got my Linex spray in bedliner done Friday and my retractable tonneau and auxiliary fuel tank installed yesterday:

Had the Parts laying around since April: had some work issues and now that I’ve got it sorted out i finally got the Carli 2.5 installed with some 37’ Mickey Thompson’s: Nightmare with the shop doing the install.. I’m going to post a thread about it.. but here is the positive: it looks sick!!

Yeah, I’m central to Atlanta, Hot Springs AR, and New Orleans (it’s about an hour longer). All of them can have it within a day. I checked all of them for Appts. Only Hot Springs had appts. They said I can keep calling and if a sooner Appt opens up I can get it. I hate they had to close off online appts because of low life’s!!

How is the gap between the rears? Or did you use spacers? Looks awesome!
