What did you do TO your RAM today?

I’m curious to hear what you think of them once you drive with them for a bit.
Yes, I’ll report back my thoughts. Initially I don’t notice much chance at 5psi, which is what I was hoping. At 30psi unloaded it’s higher in the rear and I can definitely feel it is stiffer. The real test will be loaded
 
Added an Airlift 5000 Ultimate Kit to my 2500. I decided to go with manual fill at least for now. Ram was kind enough to leave me a couple convenient openings for the fill valves
I put a set of the 5000's on my 1500 about 4 years ago and they have absolutely made towing and hauling a much better experience. I initially had them both plumbed to the same air fitting, but recently changed it up so they each have their own. Not sure what's better. Seems like when both were together, when one would get pressure, it would push the air to the unloaded side and it would exaggerate the roll a little, but I did it because I figured if one of the bags let go, they'd both equally deflate. By giving each it's own schrader, it had definitely reduced the roll, but now I worry if one bag lets loose (especially if towing or loaded), it's going to cause a sudden drop on one side of the axle that might cause some dangerous instability. I'm probably overthinking it...
 
Here's what I did to my Ram yesterday. :)

Got rid of it out of fear of failing lifters and cam. She had 0 issues, but every time I drive it I have paranoid ears always listening.

Bought new 2500HD ZR2 Duramax truck. And HOLY **** im blown away at how much better of a driver it is than the Ram DRW. Definitely lost out on some capability, but wow does this truck drive nice.

And the old girl. Very much loved, but time to move on. Was a 2021 and only had 33k miles.

You shall be shunned until changing your mind! I too left the fold for 1 1/2 years, you’ll be back, you can’t survive without us.
 
Swapped out my stock sway bar for a Hellwig Big Wig. The bar and links are both much beefier.
The sway bar has three settings and I had planned to start on the middle setting, but this things pretty stout and it’s super easy to go up a setting later if I want. I took it for a spin on a twisty road and I want to say I can feel a difference, could be just looking for it though. The real test will be loaded up.
Changed air and fuel filters too since it’s that time of year.
