The problem with strut lifts is that they require a 20in + wheel and thats not what I'm wanting

I can't believe you got the outdrive back on without using the alignment tool to pound in the bearing, I hope you bought a lottery ticket that week. Good job.

Shoes would be good. Once a year all these components should be inspected. Every other year, the lower impeller should be repaired. My dad ignored all these maintenance items and our boats were a nightmare. Also, if you’re going to work on your boat, a power ratchet would be a good investment. Furthermore, get a mechanics seat on wheels. It will save your back.

Hey Stanley, if you take 12.95 / 10 which will give you 1.29 ohms closer to what your DMM is reading. Trust me I thought about this a lot on my own and on my work bench, finally was able to figure out when you divide by 10 it will give you close enough readings on the bulbs.

I was going to install the RC spacers but now I'm not sure. What sturts work for a v6 rwd 2021 ram 1500?i was told the RC n3 struts are not compatible with v6 models? Which ones are? Thanks

when you lift a truck with spacers at 100,000, that is going to happen.

Spacers in 2 trucks. Over 100,000km (60,00miles) and NOT a single issue. Running 305/55/20s. Wait... they are FORDs.. No wonder. P.O.S Ram. You get what you pay for...

You got 12 welders behind you and can't think to weld a flat plate matching profile with a smaller hole to the spacer... fixes at least 1 issue you talk about.

"fixes at least 1 issue you talk about" Yeah, "fixes" the issue...kinda like a Band-Aid fixes a gunshot wound.

Great explanation of what is really going on there. I would also like to add that levelling spacer's are NOT the issue, it's the crappy design of this one that was at fault as you explained. Also when retaining the stock struts you need to install longer bump stops to prevent the struts bottoming out. New aftermarket UCA's are alway's a good add on as well. Oh one more thing, those adjustable strut's are causing a lot of people grief too with a harsher ride. The problem arises when you try to get a bit too much lift from them, with more lift you get more coil pre load. More pre load = harsher ride on road and less suspension compression offroad. Coil spring's progressively get stiffer with more compression, load rating increases.
@Javii96 Жыл бұрын
Can you explain what you mean by more coil pre-load? What i think you are saying is “when you set the struts to a higher lift, the coil is more compressed”. Is that right?

How does a 2" lift strut change stress on the ball joint? 2" spacer or 2" lifted strut is still going to put the same angle on it

You used a factory strut and level lol. That has never been recommended, but I did see you mention it in the video. I have a loaded strut Rough Country myself, and it rides as good, or better then stock. I have the N3 loaded in the front, and V2 in the rear. Yea, anything over 2inches, and you would need to upgrade the upper control arms.
