figured id start a new thread for this. anyone know how the ram 1500s do offroading (gettin bounced around, mudding, etc.)? ive never done much with mine but before i do i just figured id get some feedback. ill soon be runnin a 5 inch lift with 35's if that helps.

 

mine does real good so far i have only been stuck 1's burryd my self to the frame

 

what year you got? mines an 05 not sure if it would be any different. i just dont wanna end up breakin stuff or gettin mud where i shouldn't

 

They'll handle anything just about as well as you build them up to.. Here's some pics on a whoop section i went through. This is before my new lift, wheels and tires though, so all there was to it was a leveling kit and some procomp shocks.

 

DAMN LOOK AT THE REAR SQUAT THAT DEEP! I do want to try some offroading but i got no experience to this stuff...

 

wow thats pretty sick.. i would definitely have thought youd break some stuff with the truck leavin the ground like that

 

i guess its prob the mud that would scare me the most. but thats the funnest part.

 

Stuff'll break, it's inevitable, I think Murphy had a law about it or something. Creative's truck is a 2wd, so he's going to have more of an issue breaking suspension parts leaving the ground like he's hittin ramps on a BMX... Us 4wd drive guys are going to have more of an issue with driveline stuff breaking, axles/halfshafts, u-joints, maybe a transfer case. I've broken two axles, both the drivers side, go figure, but it's an easy enough fix, and Dodge covered the first one under warranty. Just use common sense and you'll lower the chances of breakin stuff or getting stuck... Maintenance maintenance maintenance!! Know your limits, know what you're getting into, take a buddy and have a tow strap if you're getting deep, a shovel, some wood, and some boots. Def get a winch if you're going alone, horror films start with people going out into the woods alone!! But, Ram's kick tail, and I love my 1500, and you love your 1500. So take it into the woods, get it dirty, clean it off, and repeat!!

 

i went out with my 05 up here , so theres mud , rocks and what ever else u can think of when it was stock and i found i was bottoming out , cud hear every thing smashing off bottom , bottom of bumper got torn up , ding and knick here and there , nutin major nothing broken , but didnt get stuck , even ripped out a 30 ft tree with winch , ran outto of road in the forest had ta turn around lol , but go it lifted now and 35 mickeys put on so going out this weekend will let u know difference

 

mine has never had a problem, survived a few good jumps without anything breaking and can traverse some pretty hairy stuff. a big part of it is driver abilities, you have to know your vehicle.
