You got a lowering kit on it? And bumpstops?Well today I was out giving the beast a hard time and was 135mph in 5th and as our NZ roads are not exactly smooth I scraped going through a couple of dips lol

Kiwi your suspension should be stiff enough to handle that dip in the NZ roads. something aint right with your suspension.Well today I was out giving the beast a hard time and was 135mph in 5th and as our NZ roads are not exactly smooth I scraped going through a couple of dips lol

Wasn't aware they issued 17" rims from factory. I've got the 22" with the lowering kit, and I've never had my tires rub, no matter how fast, and how hard the dip. Maybe the coils are weak?Yeah I thought these trucks rode hard, another 10mph would have seen me in the paddock. Scraped both sides too. It was a hairy ride, everything went weightless just before LOL May as well say it was a jump/drop off. 3rd time this has happened
I will investigate further(bump stops etc) I certainly will not be lowering it.
I notice on the original door sticker it came out with 17" wheels in 2003. Maybe like the deck lids the 22" arrived later at the dealer
BWAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!Hmmm, the RAM VTS came out with a 488 cu inch V-10 with 17" wheels from the Viper GTS. It was a concept vehicle back in '96 but I don't believe it was released in the wild. I'm not really anything close to a Historian on these rigs or why yours had 17s.
If you insist on jumping your truck, you may glean valuable insight by watching Dukes of Hazzard reruns.
Yeah in New To Me post in New MembersI've never heard of stock suspension doing that. Any pics of the truck?
They certainly look a bit different now lolBecause your truck came with 17s is it possible you have a different inner guard?
