Suspension 2005 RC.

Ironwizard66 · Jul 9, 2021

Hi guys, here's the deal. I got a 2005 RC. The previous owner had it lowered to the point it was touching both front and rear bump stops. Since I want a little wheel travel I'm removing the 3 inch lowering blocks and putting new Frt Coil Springs Moog 81186. The ball joints and bushings are toast so I ordered new upper and lower control arms. So far the standard Ram 1500 stuff is an exact match for the parts I'm replacing. I saw on earlier threads that they used modified 2500 frames. And that many standard parts won't work.. Was that only on the 4 door SRT-10 trucks? The only part I haven't been able to compare to the standard Ram 1500 is the front spindle.

04-05 Ram were on the 1500 chassis frames and the 06s were on the 2500 frames. Springs might be a little softer because they’re for the hemi trucks and the front end is a lighter. Just really depends if you don’t mind it?

Thanks for the feedback, I have a lot of things to learn about these trucks.

I went with McGaughy's 2/4.5 drop. Truck has a slight rake to it, looks badass!

Didn't know that I thought they were all 2500s - thanks!
