Springs are likely shot. My 2015 is the same way. I jumped a couple tracks, loaded.

THANKS A MILLION - THIS REALLY HELPED!!!!!!!

 

Finally got to reinstall my front coils, love that smooth linear rate.

 

Tricon are those new wheels I'm seeing? Could you post a new side picture of truck. What did you do to center axle?

 

Fuel Mavericks, 18x9 4.5" back spacing. They come with some plastic covers for the hubs, but I like the look without them actually.

 

Thanks! Like the new wheels. Are you still running a Ready Lift relocation bracket for the track bar? I'm about to order my Carli coils and was wondering if the axle was centered with that bracket and Carli 2.5 coils. Also any bumpsteer or negitives?

 

Zero issues, thing handles amazing and the ride is better than I ever hoped for. Still using the RL track bar bracket. Was going to get the Carli bar when they came out but after 6k miles with the bracket I see no reason to. Bracket perfectly centers the front end.

 

Looking to have a shop install a carli leveling kit with just the basic fox 2.0's for now. I have the snow plow springs so i'm sure the carli ones will ride nicely comparatively.

From what I gather, I dont need the extended brake lines? Hold off on the trackbar for now and go with the readylift track bar relocation bracket?

I have some King pin top 2.5's from my 2014 ram, I wonder if they will fit up front

 

I probably wouldve bought the track bar if it was available when i put my lift on, but I'm glad I saved the money. Either one will be fine, just depends on your budget. You dont need brake lines, just the drop brackets for bump and sway. Your Kings might fit, I doubt the shafts are the correct length and the valving is most definitely different, but that should be easy enough to swap out the parts you need if you want to get dirty, they'll definitely be better than the basic 2.0s!

 

 

Here is my 2 cents:
Don't use the King pintops for the Ram, rather sell them to someone with the truck for which they are designed and add the money to your build budget.

You will be saving money running the RL trackbar bracket. You will be saving money by not purchasing the brake lines. Add that to the money you made off selling your Ram pintops and purchase the 2.5 Pintops that are made for your truck. If you still come up a bit a bit short on cash you are better off saving for another 6 months to ensure you have what you really want. You won't regret it after your first test run down a country road. You picked up a really nice truck, now don't go and half *** it on your suspension build.

Buy once cry once.

 

Just out of curiosity, I believe that Carli touts the SS brake lines as firming up the pedal feel, which should negate some of the decrease braking feel of moving to bigger tires. Thoughts: A solution looking for a problem or a nice to have when moving to larger tires?

 

Stainless lines are always a nice upgrade. The feel on my street bikes was amazing in the difference. In the truck, I'm not as sure you'd see as much of a difference. The stopping power when I moved to 35's really wasn't that much of a difference, in fact I couldn't really tell any change, and the reason why I chose to forego them and save the money/time bleeding lines, etc.

Personally, I think they are a nice to have. They aren't that expensive, so if you aren't trying to save a buck I would say go for them. But for return on investment, not sure there's much there. The stock brakes are pretty awesome as is. If I went to 37's I might have thought harder about it.

 

This is actually where my mind was. I am not sure that I would expect our trucks to "feel" much difference between adding 1" in diameter and 15-20 lbs per wheel when they are designed to stop enormous loads. As we start creeping up to 37-38" tires that weight 80-90 lbs, I being to wonder....
