Re: Fender Flares
So fighting the dealership with my rambox covers as well. Did you end up pulling them and sticking them yourself? About to tell them to replace the whole f()*&king bed. You can pull them off yourself, but doing so without damaging the paint by bending the plastic is not easy, which is why the deale...

Re: Wagonless
Ever since I corrected my computer for 35’s mine shows averaging 16mpg for a round trip to work and back which is about 180 miles. About 1/3 of it is close to sea level, which helps, and with no traffic it can creep closer to 18mpg. I set the cruise control at the speed limit, 65, don’t need any tic...

Re: White lettering on tires
All racing products area short lived fad. Its racing “Short lived” is relative, your King shocks are a racing product. One could also say automobiles are a short lived fad in the scope of humanity’s time on Earth, but that’s deep and I’m sober. Oh, and the only thing that compliments a tall red tru...

Believe he was referring to Grabbers. BFG’s latest race tires are Red, White, and Blue lettering and they look amazing.

Re: White lettering on tires
Wait until your next balance/rotation and have them flipped. In the meantime you could try tire black. It’s not tire shine, it’s a gel with some kind of black stain in it that makes your tires look new, not like glazed donuts. Works great for those of us who live on dirt roads. It may black out your...

Re: Fender Flares
Finally got around to installing the flares after spending half a day removing the leftover tape on the truck. It was completely separated from the flares, but stuck pretty well to the body. Thank 3M for their eraser wheel, that thing is awesome. Anyways, here is the finished product. I'm usually no...

Re: 40-Inch Tire Discussion (Or anything bigger than 37's)
Has anyone ever tried Axletech Portals? Big money, but 5” of ground clearance is huge and you could probably run 40’s with those alone on factory geometry. Truss and hydro would be wise, though.

Re: 40-Inch Tire Discussion (Or anything bigger than 37's)
Quite a few Trophy Truck teams tried 42” race tires, went back to 39’s after a couple races, just sayin’... Accelerated wear and added mass like adeluca mentioned, even multi-million dollar teams came to the conclusion that bigger isn’t always better.

Re: Hardwired Lockers with OEM Knob
I took a look at that Evo disco a while back, it’s not exactly in a convenient spot to fumble with. A lot of cacti around here, I’m not fond of crawling under my truck while out exploring. If somebody could figure out how to wire that disconnect with an electric motor to turn the knob that can be ac...

Re: Update
They would be infinitely better, even still plastic and tape, if they latched on the outer ends as well. The rubber seal pushing up on a long piece of soft plastic held down in the center is what causes them to warp, which causes the tape to pull off. I just try to not look at it anymore, even adjus...

Re: Suspension question...again
I follow you, I was saying the 0.5” fronts are opposite of the rears. Rears are taller coils but shorter once installed, fronts are shorter coils but taller once installed. Although we’re not talking much difference either way, most people don’t care about a quarter of an inch... Though I did know a...

Re: Thuren 3.0 KING on 2018 Powerwagon!
But I did order with the additional 2-inches rear suspension travel. Whats that? Meaning the shocks have more travel than "normal" Kings? Or are the springs different too? Longer shock body for more travel. Keep in mind that Mikekey is an inch higher in the rear so the extended travel is a little m...

Re: Suspension question...again
I took measurements of the RTT and squat when we did that and what happened in the rear there. It's so close. Honestly, they are softer but you're talking about a few quarters difference in the squat between both. Yes, 1-inch spacer, the attached however is without it. These are the first measureme...

Re: Suspension question...again
Is this with Thuren rear coils as well? I’m on 0.5” Thuren fronts and stock rears but feel it has a little too much rake. However, every 1.5” truck I see seems a little nose-high for my taste, especially with the weight of anything in the bed. So I’m considering Thuren rears just because I run arou...

Re: 2015-track bar frame side bolt size?
It's funny when I read all the threads here where people want to replace this and that. Coming from the components in my prior 97 2500, everything in this 2015 PW is super huge and far more well thought out. Spring perch angles, not so much, but nothing is perfect. No doubt the upgrades have their ...

Re: Fender Flares
Yes, tape of some kind is a must under a standard flare. I understand why Ram chooses to use tape, but it doesn’t work well on their unpainted flares, not for long anyway. Go to a local dealership and look at any truck with black flares on and I bet you will find at least one starting to come off. M...

Re: Fender Flares
Here is my take on flares.... they are basically for looks only. If you like the look of them, great. But dont kid yourself, putting on wider flares will not make the side of your truck stay clean or no longer get rock chips... they just dont work like that. Been there done that. They will help wit...

Order placed! My current factory damper pushes slightly to the right, not dangerously so but definitely noticeable. I just want to get rid of the small steering jerks as well as the "oh crap" moments when I hit a big bump off road. Guess I'll have to wait and see. Have you installed your damper yet...
