Default First Truck and Lovin It!

Good Evening everyone,

Just wanted to drop a line and say hi. I live in Wichita, KS and am a proud owner of a 1500 Ram 4X4 Hemi! It is my first V8 engine and I am really loving the power and my exhaust.

I am having the truck leveled here soon with the daystar leveling kit. I am mostly a DIY'er but when it comes to stuff that involves possible bodily damage I leave it to the professionals.

I just bought a home and just got done sodding the yard this weekend so I am sore.

This forum looks like it has the most activity of any dodge forums I have been on and hope to learn more and more about my truck everyday.

Thanks!

Hey I just purchased my first ram a month ago and i am putting the same leveling kit on it. I was wondering if you have heard the rumor that you can use a gear puller rather than the torsion key leveling tool to remove the keys?

You have any pictures of the Ram?
Welcome to the forum, these Rams are really nice trucks.

Thanks everyone I really like the truck because when I want to the cabin is very squeak and noise free. I really like how rigid it feels and quality made. I will have some pictures soon. Its a little dirty from me driving in fields and etc the last couple of days working on my house.

As far as the leveling kit, I am not too sure, I am having my mechanic do it because I have heard of a couple people getting injured not properly removing the torsion bars.
