The ride is actually a little stiffer with the 285s because they r a heavy duty tire and there is less flex in the sidewall, but its not too bad. It rides like a truck. I did get an alignment after the that crank but the shop said that I didn't even need one.

 

Increasing the height of the front of the truck by adjusting the torsion bar keys with the key bolt. A form of leveling without having to buy anything. But as with any leveling kit, you can't go too high or you'll be sacrificing the CV axles and put a lot of premature wear on ball joints, U-joints and tie rods. If done within reason, it's a free way to get clearance for larger tires and to get rid of a lot of that "rake" look. The only negative if you don't go over 2" of lift is that the ride will stiffen a bit (but some actually like that, it rides more like a "truck").

Can only be done on a torsion bar front, IFS truck (in our case '02-'05 1500 4x4s)...

 

Thank you Hammer and Jmbuiel32 for your quick replies!

 

So my 06 1500 doesnt have this key crank mod i can do for free?

 

Im not sure about the 06...if you look under the truck and see two long rods that run from the front wheels to about the middle of the truck then u heave torsion bars and they can be cranked up, they r very noticable.

 

I am sure, he doesn't have to look. 2006 Ram 1500 4x4s are coil-over, no torsion bar, no free level option...

 

Hell, I just noticed that was my 20,000th post. Jesus, I must be one long-winded, opinionated son-of-a-biotch!!! LOL...

 

Now I know who to come to when I have a question Mr. 20,000

 

I would say not so much long winded and opinionated but very knowledgeable and helpful. Congrats Hammer and thank you!

 

Will it fit my my 2017 1500 sport
