Suggestions for lift and other things on my ram
#11
Then do a leaf spring to get your "flex". However, the "amount" of flex is in question here.
Go to this thread, last 2 videos in the thread to see my buddies green ram. This is the flex I'm referring to, so maybe the "reference" here is different b/t us.

This is why I initially asked the questions earlier. I'm not knocking Rough Country at all. Just looking to provide input on what was being characterized.
Good luck on the build and hope you share it!

Does anybody know a way to get more braking pressure for bigger tires? I've been wondering this awhile, and if i need bigger discs then I should get bigger rims to clear them and do this all about the same time

Thanks for the info on the brake upgrade, and I looked for a couple minutes for long arm lift kits and they were all running over $1200 wich is a little more than I want to spend at one time. I also looked at rough country's 5" lift which is a little over $700 (not so bad) and a long arm kit thats suppose to go with a lift for $900 (I wouldn't mind splitting it up like this) so would that give me the same offroad performance as an expencive up front kit or would I be waiting time and money?

well I'm in albuquerque NM so high desert wheeling, I like crawling on rocks a little so I need some flex and clearance and with that I should be able get through most of the other stuff except sand.... a bit too heavy for that. As far as tires I already have 35s and want a bit bigger and I'm pretty sure the axle can handle it. I dont like body lifts but other than that I like ryans set up, do you have a rough idea about how much that cost?
And mccart are any of those power mods hard to do on the engine in the truck and what are the downfalls? Also can that tuner adjust spedometer for the gears and the tires?

.Your not really losing power because the wheels weigh more as much as the fact that the larger the wheel the higher it changes the vehicles gear ratios... tires are basically a gear to the road and the larger you go the lower you need to go with diff gears to compensate... otherwise its like driving a stick and shifting up too soon... its really hard on the truck and its sluggish.
35" tires and 3.55 gears would really be tough on the tranny and drivetrain and the truck will be very sluggish with bad gas mileage.
