Also any ram that can with 20in rims had 33 inch tires 275/60r20 and 2 inch you can fit 35 in tall tires

I had to use a strut compressor to get it back together.

My 2017 ram 1500 4x4 came stock with 265/70/17s

Jonathan Morris that is a 31” tall tire by 10.5” wide

Great call! We usually slide that on at the end of our installs, looks like we forgot it this time. Really any time you modify your suspension an alignment is a great idea to be safe. Thanks for watching! -Zach

It’s not really necessary to get an alignment since u didn’t adjust the ball joint nuts

Right lol

It shares the 2018 specs

Any rubbing?

@@danielquiroz8294 none at all

at 10 sec it states 4WD.

I would

We always recommend getting an alignment any time you modify your suspension. -Zach

Just looking at that upper ball joint on the control arm when he tightened everything back up made me cringe seeing how steep an angle it at now. I'm changing my mind on doing this. I dnt much care for the factory rake myself, but I'd rather have my truck working properly for longer than risk folding a tire or some shit over 2.5 inches in the front.

If you have all the tools ready to go and a bit of space, you could do this in an hour, 3 hours if you are new to it. What you are doing is the style of work that my dad does. Replacing a bearing became tearing apart the entire front end and a carb kit for an ATV somehow.

You have to rotate struts obviously. Does the angle change affect anything? I'm working on a Dakota and having trouble getting the struts back in. Bottom doesn't line up.

I measured mine to figure out which spacer I needed. So I'd recommend putting the topper on, or something that weighs the same then measure

It would be very close, as thats hardly any weight. If you put 150+ lbs in the back it will have a slight backwards rake but not really noticeable.

I watched 5 separate videos and they were all different. I just did mine last week and there's more steps than I expected, luckily I have the tools. Alignment is a must, this changes your tow settings which will cause your tires to wear quicker. For instance mine are now tow +

They make 4x2? Must be one of the short cab sport models.

my 13 came with the same tire

I have 33x12.5r24 on my 14 ram n it dont rub

I put even a 34” and no issue. Try the 275/65R20

Awesome, Nick! I hope the install goes smoothly and you enjoy the new level! -Zach

Your ucas break yet

@@victorortega2718 ucas?

@@AmericanTrucksRam I put it on and it looks so much better! easy to install took me an hour (I've never put one on before)

Upper control arms

35" OD

44s if you want

Michael Woodruff don’t think so

Very nice! Hope you enjoy the new truck! -Zach

Its always recommended to do an alignment after any lift

Stronger upper control arms are also recommended with spacer lifts due to the ball joints popping out.

Why tf would you lift a 2 wd?

@@kylewagner6607 😂😂😂😂

If you're sure 2" will do it, they you wouldn't go with 2.5 unless you also wanted to lift up the rear a little to match it. But you should be careful when deciding what size to buy. You should take some measurements and realize that the ground your truck is parked on can affect those measurements. Ideally, a perfectly level surface is what you should park on before you measure height. But most of us aren't fortunate enough to have access to a perfectly level parking space. So you have to make an educated guess at what is going to work best. Take meaurements at all four wheels from the ground to the bottom of the fender well, write em down. Then measure from the top of the tire to the bottom of the fender well at all four wheels and write those down. Compare the differences and consider taking the average as the "proper" size spacer to level your truck. That's what I did, and it came out to be 2.5". Mine looks nice and level to me. Sorry, no photos to show. Hope this helps some of you out there.

Simply because there are multiple variables that change your rake. For instance when I put on a 34" tire it actually changed my rake a half inch. This is why you measure before. I actually run the 3" spacer. Looks really good

I guess that's one way to do it! 😂 Thanks for watching! -Zach

Gya' no one gives a fuck

Thanx for the info.

Not all trim levels come with 33" and it varies a bit by year. Some are 31". I think what they intended was the next size up.

I’ve owned a 2004, 2010, 2012, 2015 all ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi’s. The tire size is 275/60R20. That is 32.99” tall by 10.83” wide. If you got the off road package you could get the 275/70R17 that converts to 32.2x10.8R17. The actual size of a 33x12.50 on a 15” wheel is 32.5 Tall by 12.5” wide. You can use that for comparison.

I just installed this kit myself. I took a picture of that connection before I started, and it actually looked just like that, kind of twisted.

Toweleeeie I bought these but I’m returning them to do the same. Any issues installing them? Also are only the shocks needed?

@@ismarcukojevic9925 yeah you just need the shocks. they are adjustable so you can set them any where from factory to about 3". Only problem installing was the top shock nuts were rusted and rounded off trying to remove them. My truck is only 4 years old

I am interested in the bilstein 5100 adjustable dad well but wondering if I should get new upper control arms. Did you replace those? Everywhere I read indicates you need to or you will have premature wear/damage. Suggestions on uca?

@@brianhegedus440 I read that you should replace them as well but I have the stock UCA and no problems so far and I have ran over some major potholes. Still going strong after 5 months. Ill probably upgrade in the future but its not something yo have to have right away

Weird, I have the exact same ride quality on my Ram. They are temporary until I get my BDS lift with fox shocks.
