Hi I’m new to this so thought I give it a shot. I have an 06’ 2500 5.9 24v 4x2 on a 6” lift running on 35’s w/ 24x14 wheels. im getting like a jumping/bucking or like a hard shaking from the rear once I reach 50mph. And it’ll happen under acceleration and deceleration from 50-60 and vice versa...

Hi folks, My truck has a popping sound when turning. I know there are hundreds of threads on this, and trust me, I've read every one. I've been using this forum for years as I've slowly upgraded my second gen, and I have always been able to find an existing thread that answered my question...

I own a 2017 MegaCab / 4X4 / Cummins / with lift...It's a very nice truck, but I'd like to return it to stock for regular towing of various gooseneck/5th wheel trailers. Are 4.5 Gen suspension parts compatible with my year? Most important is returning to OEM Radius arms, and I've found several...

I recently, around the end of February, had a tie rod replaced by Firestone (I keep saying I will never go back there) after one of the bushings was almost completely worn out. I had to get it aligned after they supposedly aligned it because of the truck pulling to one side. Some backstory, the...

Thought I’d write up a quick how-to on the rear shock replacement on these trucks. Pretty easy process but when looking for tips I couldn’t find any. I will do one on the fronts as well. First thing’s first; hit the bolts with penetrant multiple times before doing the job if possible. I had to...

Hey guys, I’m wanting to convert my 97 12 valve to have coilovers up front, I’ll be ordering the upper mount from RI-FAB and using the factory lower shock mount. it currently has a 5 inch lift already and I want to keep the same ride height. Could anyone suggest what size shocks I should do as...

So lately my springs have been hitting that one bracket on the frame, wondering if its just old springs or am i missing something? I would think there would be a stop there but I don’t know.

Picking up a used 2020 Ram 2500 in the next week. Has 58k miles on the Cummings, 8' Box, and all options. Previous owner had it lifted with a Rough Country 5" lift kit, but I need it to be able to tow using the 5th wheel. The 5" lift seems way too high to me, to tow the 5th wheel with...

This is kind of a last ditch effort to find a solution but my father has a 2017 with air bags in the rear and they will no longer inflate. I know it is not the bags causing the problem but i don't know where to start looking. The compressor will kick in for a couple of seconds and then it cuts...

Just installed a Thuren 3" suspension system. Full leafs, front soft ride coils, King 2.5" shocks. Rides like a dream and flexes like nobody's business.

Hey guys, new here, have a 4x4 2500 with the 5.7 in it. Got 211xxx miles. Started noticing a rhythmic clunk from the front end when driving. Only stops when pickup is in 4x4. I have a manual t case if this makes a difference. Any ideas?

Hi everyone. I recently bought a 2002 Dodge ram 2500 4x4 that is running on a 4:10 differential. This causes my rpm's to be a little high on the highway, that being said I figured that instead of swapping out the differentials on it I rather go with a bigger size wheel. I don't want to lift my...

Anybody ever deal with a wobble in your first gen’s? My 93’ W350 has a wobble in the steering that starts right away and gets worse with speed. Most of my front end parts are old and tired; shocks, ball joints, wheel hubs, steering brackets, etc. I could do a full front end rebuild and likely...

Hey everyone! I just got my 3rd gen about a month ago and am really falling in love with it! I'm no mechanic, but I enjoy doing little things to it here and there or tackling a project on my own if I can. Anyway, I'm attaching some pictures of my truck because I wanted to ask if my suspension...

Looking for some input from people currently running this setup, I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I personally like a stancey truck. What leveling kits or lifts are people running that will prevent rubbing for this wheel setup because I know stock ride height rubs hard, I prefer to not...

Hi all, have a 2017 2500 tradesman with a rough country leveling kit in front (yes I know, going to replace it with thuren). My issue is that before I even had the leveling kit installed, I have been having this odd squeak come from the front passenger side of the truck with varying amounts of...

Hey all! So, I’m new to the 2500 after having a 1500 air ride. Honestly, I was blown away by the smooth ride of the 1500… I really thought it was amazing. But, it wouldn’t pull my travel trailer, so I had to step up to the 2500. But, I wasn’t able to find one with air ride. More over, I have the...

I have a 2017 ram 5500. Is there any recommendation for a front suspension setup other than oem/Monroe setup? I have heard bilstein, but I am not sure that works. Any suggestions?

I just bought this truck and crawled around underneath to get a better layout of my new (to me) and first diesel truck to see entirely what the previous owner has upgraded. I noticed that the steering looks to have been upgraded to a newer gen model, but I don't know which one. Also, I noticed...

My truck is a 2003 dodge ram 3500 5.9l diesel CUMMINS 4x4, with 248k km/154k mi. gear steering and solid front axle, quad cab. Laramie i think? its got leather and power everything alpine stereo Im new to the ram world and this truck needs tlc but i cant even figure out which ball joints i...
