The day I drove my truck home from the dealer, I noticed a need for a better suspension set up. I live where roads do nothing but snake through the mountains, many switch back and a lot of hard 90 degree turns.

The sideways roll the truck had was ridiculous going through these turns. I even went over a couple dips in the road and the truck bottomed out! I also noticed wheel hop as I drove back home on the interstate. I was pretty disappointed after paying what I did for the truck. You'd think as heavy as these trucks are and to have the pay load capacity they do, the suspension would be built to match it.

So, after talking with Richard @ GDP, I decided to get a set of his ladder bars. He was great in working with me to make sure they would fit my truck and that I got what I wanted. Richard is able to have the bars powder coated several different colors but, I wanted a OEM match. He did what he could to do that and got them real close but, powder coats usually comes in plain colors and the OEM Inferno red wasn't one.

Anyway, I received the bars and my first thought was they were very impressive and very well built! The color was still a bit off though so, I sent them out again for another powder coating. I sent them to PROFESSIONAL CRYOGENIC METALLURGY & COATINGS, LLC
who I can't say enough good about. They're a family run operation in Atlsnta and their customer service was second to none. As I mentioned, matching a OEM color with powder coating is very hard to do ( inferno red anyway ). To make sure they were working on the correct color.... they went as far as going to the local Dodge dealership with their color palette to compare it to a inferno red vehicle. They were able to get the match then contact their PPG rep to have the color made. I would recommend this company to anyone as they're top notch.

Now to installed them. There's nothing to it. Both front and back are bolted directly to the axle and the frame. Because of the shape of the bars that wrap the axle, all that needs to be done is hook the bar over the rear axle to hold it in place. Then lift the front of the bar up to the frame and using the supplied u-bolts, bolt it on. Once you make sure the alignment is right, you didn't install over any lines ( brake line on the axle and/or fuel lines on the frame ) tighten all the bolt to speced torque and you're good to go.

Wheel hop is now completely eliminated, tire spin is gone ( unless I really romp on it ) and then they'll only spin for about 5 to 10ft if that. They made a world of difference in corner and handling in general. My 10Klbs truck now handles like a sports car!
