    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    Aftermarket isn't as big for the ram as others. Most guys with the rams are leveled with big rims and that's the market. There's a few of us on some other forums running pretty decent builds, but we don't have the support like other. Things like sliders and bumpers are almost non existent. You...

    RAM 1500 - Limited Diesel

    Dethloff Mfg has a few items and working on more. Fabtech has a dirtlogic coilover kit available. There's plenty of aftermarket comin forth in the 1500 market. I'm running a 16 ecodiesel. Love this truck all around. Sent from my P00I using Tapatalk

    I agree with all of the above. Shop around and you can surely find one that will fit the bill for you. Not sure how things are in Michigan, but used low mileage Rams are a dime a dozen out here. If you think a stock truck rides nice just wait until you add in a quality suspension. Sent from my...

    Avoid the air. There's an entire Facebook page dedicated to the air suspension failures. Especially in cold climates. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    For sure. It's absolutely an appearance package, plus a few skids and bilstein 4600 shocks on some lucky models. Guess it all comes down to how you want the truck optioned out interior wise. There's only 1 trans, the 8spd, 3 gear sets 3.21, 3.55, 3.92, 2 suspensions, air or coil, and then all...

    Yep. Majority come with 5 link rear with coils and coilover front. Air suspension was the upgraded option for higher trim levels. I don't believe there's a "max tow" or higher payload option. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    Unless they have the optioned air ride, which is usually in the higher trims, they all come with coils front and rear. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    FWIW I have the same travel as a gen 1 raptor. Not trying to turn it into a pissing match but gen 1 specs were cutting edge when it came out, but by no means is it hard to obtain mid travel levels. I'm strapped at 12" rear and sit about 10" front travel. Aside from a rear locker and all the...

    So you have the 4th gen model. I saw your other post that you won't buy new. Don't blame you there. You can surely find one for a good deal than. Low mile, leased trade ins are all over. Especially with the new body style out. I had all intentions of rolling myself into a used Rebel until this...

    What year rebel have you been in. The new ones have 18s, the 4th gens have 17s. I should have asked. Edited- 2019 is a weird year, it started the 5th gen and ended the 4th, but both are available. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

    So I've been following along quietly but I can chime in on the rebels. I give you kudos for hanging on to the ecoboost like you did. I tossed mine 6 months into ownership. Now granted I have a 4th gen 2016 ram, non rebel, but I am on ramforum daily and personally have seen and wheeled with...

    Ram 1500. I got into my 2016 from my 2013 3.5 EB. I don't miss muxh about my ford except the power and locker. I have the Ecodiesel so I cant comment on mpg as I'm mid to high 20s on a regular basis. Rides better than any vehicle I've ever owned. Rear coils don't like big payloads stock, but a...

    NEW RIG: 2012 F-150 FX4

    I couldn't get out of my f150 and back into a mopar fast enough. Great looking truck, but a pile of dog ********. Had most of the issues you have touched on in your thread, all in a span of like 6 months. Enough was enough. Polish that thing up, make it look good and dump it off at a dealer. Only...
