Thuren 2.5 King front and rear shocks
- For 2500
- Shocks have about 5000 paved road miles on. them. About 2 months of use. They are essentially brand new. NO off road use.
- Shafts and seals are in perfect condition. They were covered with boots the entire time I had them on the truck...
I think I got a pretty good deal. Ordered on 4.19.21 showed up 6.15.21. I also had a $1500 mailer on top of the discount the dealer provided. I sold my 18' with 80k on the odometer for $1000 less than I paid 2 years ago.
The topper also stays pretty cool in the heat. Even on 95 degree days it is usually comfortable in the topper with the windows open for breeze. I think the inside of the topper needs to have the carpet liner to stay cool though. I leave a bowl of water back there if it is above 90 just to...
My dogs ride in the back with a topper. No crates. They are plenty content and even stay warm on long road trips when temps are below 0. I have a full bed rug back there which helps keep it warmer. No dogs ever ride in the cab of my truck. Dogs are the main reason I have a topper.
I...
I can save you the rental. It doesn't tow near as well as any of your HD trucks. Even if they are 20years old. All the guys that say their 1500 is a great tow rig have never towed with a 3/4 ton truck. As someone who doesn't like the amount of time and mess and frozen fingers that comes...
PPF is expensive. Pretty sure just the bumper will run you about $400. In my experience the bumper gets 90% of the damage. Grill should be fine. My plan is to linex bumpers and rockers if I keep this truck more than 2yrs
Sub in a crew is under the passenger side back seat. In a mega...
After owning 10 Rams in the past 10years and just putting in an order for another one today:
4.10 Axle - If you tow, run at altitude, or get bigger tires this is a must. I have never not done all of the above, but I am pretty sure a 3.73 will get you a little better highway fuel economy...
I should add, I think most guys that are towing campers with 1/2 ton trucks would greatly benefit from a 2500. While our 3/4ton trucks are derated, I think the payload/tow wars in the 1/2 ton segment are dangerous. Way too many guys out there towing 7500lb campers behind half tons with p...
The only reason 2500's exist is to artificially de-rate the gvwr to 10k. Anything with a GVWR over 10k operating in a commercial environment is subject to DOT regs. This includes sole proprietor contractors towing little tool trailers and skid steers and such. Obviously enforcement various...
