In this video I wanted to take a few minutes to discuss the various expenses involved with lifting this truck. Please subscribe and hit that like button for me.
Amazing build! This is the true definition of “less is more.” Nothing over the top. Just clean and simple 🔥. Also, appreciate your transparency as far as totally cost goes.
I subscribed! And I have the same truck. Looking to get it lifted. Trying to find a place on the east coast with the best prices. But it will happen soon. To God be the Glory!
Clean👌🏽. Very nice. I bought mine already lifted. 6” lift, my tires are 35’s. Rim type. Same brand as yours. RAM 1500 2021. I have chrome on mine. Gotta match my bike👌🏽. Black and Chrome baby😂. That limited edition is smooth looking though🤔. I dig it💪🏽
This is a gorgeous truck. And a big thank you for putting out all the info about your setup with the Air Ride. I had no clue how hard it was going to be to try and add aftermarket kits to an air ride suspension. You're doing a helluva job in keeping it look real lean and mean, without going overboard. I'm aiming for a very close look as yours.
Nice truck-from the looks it seems to be a show truck, whats the functionality of it? Did you change the exhaust- I went with a Borla exhaust-it's a remarkable sound to match the look of my RAM doesn't look as pretty as yours though, yet I use it for the intended purpose of hauling and towing.
Good looking truck. Looks great but how does it ride? I would have gone with a fatter tire less rim but those rims are sick! My truck is getting lifted this week.
@Jose Ortiz Thanks for the compliment. I really do not notice the difference up to about 45 or 50 mph. At faster speeds, depending on the road quality you can feel some vibration. Also, the turning has a little more resistance but not bad at all.
Truck looks phenomenal! Do you have any issues with parking in your garage/airport? Also what kind of warrant did RC/your shop offer? I was recommended doing the BDS 4" lift but its more expensive, about $2700 but they state that if any part of the kit is damaged, they replace it for life.
Hi. I don't anymore since I changed wheels the other. I'll shoot a video and talk more about it. Rough Country's website discusses their warranty and the install shop would hold up to it. Yes, BDS is quite expensive but if you are going to be off roading a lot it may be worth it for you.
Nice Truck Boss!! Just picked up a 2022 limted as well. Mine has the air ride suspension as well. Trying to go for the same look. Any suggestions you have that you would have done different?
Thanks for the kind words. If you want bigger wheels, I would go with 24"x10" rather than 24"x12" and I would go with a slightly narrow tire so that you don't have any rubbing. The rubbing isn't too bad under normal situations but when you need to turn tight you'll hear it.
@@wegotoptions9927 Thanks for replying and the advice! Will definitely keep that in mind when I start to build her up. Subscribed and will continue to watch your videos.
That’s a hell of a truck! I have a 22 patriot blue limited night edition….if you haven’t already, could you go over the warranty of the lift? I bought an extended warranty for my ram and would hate for that to be ruined if a simple lift null’s out the entire warranty.
Hey Adam, I just bought the 22 white Limited Night Edition. I bought the Rough Country at first, but just returned it this week. I too bought the extended warranty, but it was through Lithia Motors (not sure if any of that was through Ram), but from my understanding with all of my research, is that BDS is the only brand that has a "No BS" warranty, that's covered by them because of their quality and tolerances. I had to go with the BDS 4' and because I have the diesel, I had to order and extended drive shaft. I can't wait, it's all going on next week.
Technically it can only void the part of the warranty that it affects-aftermarket suspension components can’t void engine warranty or something along those lines if that’s what you’re asking
When you approach full turns on the steering you do feel a slight push back which I noticed while sitting still and checking for rubbing. During normal driving the wheel stays steady and the truck goes straight. A good alignment plays a role in that.
@@wegotoptions9927 you right about that,now your video about the 5 things about lifting the truck,I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't have any idea about that,very honest video,thanks always...
The truck has not been to the dealership since I lifted it. Any component not connected to the suspension should be fine and they would have to prove the lift caused the damage to void anything. Please subscribe if you can!
Thanks for the kind words. If you run this tire in the 24's size there is no tread life rating for mileage that I am aware. Some smaller sizes like for 20's or 22's say 50,000 miles on various websites. Please subscribe if you can!
@@MrJustinWheeler Yes, sir. The decision is yours to make of course but I would go with a smaller wheel diameter and a tire that warranties mileage. Thanks for supporting the channel. I only drive about 8 thousand miles per year in the truck at this time.
The ride quality at times is very close to stock. It really depends on the quality of the road you are on. I have been going 45 or 85 and still feel smooth and at those same speeds have some vibration. It's all about the road's quality but overall I feel it is still within 80 to 90% of the stock ride quality. Yes, the steering is somewhat heavier but not bad. You could go with a thinner wheel and tire to reduce that feeling.
Thanks for the compliment. The wheels are -44 offset with a 4.77 inch backspacing per the manufacturer's website. Yes, they do rub as you approach full turns when turning to the right more so than the turning left. I did not want to do anymore than basic trimming of the bottom of the plastic inner liner so I have experienced some rubbing. You probably can go with a Fuel Wheel with a +1 offset, 24 inches by 10 inches wide, and a tire that is closer to 33 or 34 inches and you should be less likely to have rubbing.
No not really for City driving because I had a heavy foot before I lifted it. I take it easier now. The highway mpg dropped some but I'm not on the highway all that often. Please subscribe if you can!
After checking around with multiple stores, I ordered the wheels and tires from a fairly local mom and pops type repair shop. The national chain stores and even online would have been more.
@@duaneburke5424 Thanks for your support. Yes the shocks are fine for the way I use the truck and keep it on pavement 99% of the time. They feel equivalent to the factory shocks to me.
