    3500 DRW Rear GAWR

    Im curious to see how rear axle weight ratings changed over time on 3500 DRW trucks. I currently have a 2002 SRW, and the door sticker says 6,084 lbs rear GAWR. Looked in a buddy's 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins SRW, and it reads 6,500 lbs rear GAWR. Little over 400 lbs of improvement for 16 years of...

    Heavy towing upgrades?

    The exact amount of what I will be able to tow is still to be determined. Since I'm gonna have to be pulling into weigh stations, I have to abide by DOT weight regulations. From what I've researched and been told, they dont give a d@mn about manufacturer towing capacity numbers. What they'll...

    That sub zero cooler does look very promising with those dimensions. Definitely added to my research list. Thanks for that. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Heavy towing upgrades?

    I've gotten mixed reviews on the Mishimoto stuff. Great example above of a member recommending I get rid of my brand new mishimoto thermostats. I was considering getting the Mishimoto aluminum radiator, intercooler, and trans cooler. But then started looking into them and wasnt so sure. Itd...

    Heavy towing upgrades?

    Should I decrank torsion bars even if they are on the stock position? I have a torsion bar drop member, and when I installed the lift, the instructions said to crank them back to the factory position, so that's where they are at. Not cranked in beyond that. The angles all look pretty good on...

    Heavy towing upgrades?

    Thanks for the input. Reading through forums I had read about the Mike L trans cooler but I believe they are not currently available because I haven't seen them for sale anywhere. Will an L5P oil cooler be a bolt on? How bad do you think it'd need the regear? Would you still say it would...

    Torsion Bar Install Issue

    Fixed this issue by pulling the bar out and rotating it in the control arm slot. There was one position in which it centered up in the crossmember hole. Thank you all for the input! Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Heavy towing upgrades?

    This is probably a fairly easy one for you lot. I've just come up on a pretty decent gig that could make me some solid cash towing heavy, and I'm thinking of giving it a whack with my current truck and if it pays as they say it pays getting a newer truck for it in a few months. I know it's an...

    Torsion Bar Install Issue

    Also worth mentioning that the driver side torsion bar took ALOT more force applied to the tool in order to try and get the key out of the way to install the bolt. This made me think maybe something was wrong with the driver side install. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Torsion Bar Install Issue

    The photo taken was with no tension on the bar. And it doesn't let me push it closer to the center. It's almost like its caught at an angle on the control arm. Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Torsion Bar Install Issue

    Hello all, I recently removed my torsion bars to install the new lift, and while reinstalling, I noticed the driver side torsion bar is not centered in the crossmember pocket like the passenger side. Has anyone ever seen this before? Could it have something to do with the position of the bar...

    3" lift RC Control Arms on 6" lift?

    The truck is currently on an RC 3 inch lift. Why would I need to take the keys off? You think they'll mess with the angles on the 6" lift? Would I need to take them off if I go back to OEM control arms? I've decided to just get Kryptonite UCA and LCA to be done with it. I just put brand new...

    3" lift RC Control Arms on 6" lift?

    Spoke to Rough Country. Updating the thread in case anyone needs this in the future. Per RC, the 3" lift Upper control arms will NOT work with their 6" lift. The reason is that the 3" UCA is made to correct the balljoint angle when doing a 3" lift that uses factory spindles. Their 6" lift...

    Lower Control arm bushing recommendations?

    Anyone have any experience with dmaxstore.com? I found these complete lower control arms with bushings and kryptonite ball joints already installed. Seems like a good deal considering I can skip out on paying a shop to press the balljoints and bushings in and out, but I don't know anything...

    Mine is a 2002. How many miles have you put on yours? Stock height or lifted? Any off-road use? Sent from my SM-S908U1 using Tapatalk

    Lower Control arm bushing recommendations?

    I want to replace all the worn-out bushings and ball joints in the front end of my truck while I'm in there installing a lift. What's the best upgrade for the lower control arm bushings? Anything available from Kryptonite I'm getting from them, but I don't see that they have a listing for the...
