5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Lifting My Ram 1500 🤔 🤔 | Limited 4x4

Please watch to learn things I became aware of after lifting my truck. These are just a few details. There are more videos I intend to bring on the subject in the future.

So far as for suspension, this man is on bags (air system) it your have shocks/coils your going to feel a big difference. Also i agree on the part where you need to balance your wheels, speed wobbles are no joke. I also agree with the issue of constantly needing a alignment, your best bet is to do what i did. If you leave near a firestone, ask about a lifetime alignment and they will put your vehicle in the system and all firestones with take care of you. it's expensive at first but the money you save from not needing to pay for it will save you. He is 100% correct about the road forced balancing that ish ain't no joke. Great video and please listen to this man he ain't lying

It's good to see more and more brothas out there driving lifted trucks. I'm like one of the only few in Delaware that buy, fix up, and own lifted trucks as a hobby. I had an old 3inch Rancho lifted Chevy K-5 Blazer with 35inch ProCmp tires, 11inch lifted blacked-out Ford Excursion with 38inch toyo tires, 6inch ProComp lifted Toyota FJ Cruiser with 35 inch tires, in which I bought stock then had it lifted, 2 second generation Dodge Rams in which one had 37inch Super Swamper IROC's slapped on 17ich OEM wheels, the other had 40inch Mickey Thompsons slapped on 22inch Fuel wheels, and the most recent black 2005 Hummer SUT with a 6inch Fabtech lift, with 38inch Toyo tires. Fun, fun, fun!

Your balance they done is called static balance not road force. Road force is a machine made by Hunter. It has a wheel on the wheel balancer that just measures the total run out. The Hunter balancer also has a feature called smart weight that is designed to save the company with the machine money on wheel weights. Static balance is what you have that is where they add the weights in the center of your rim. Any off road, alterain, or large tires will be done in static balance because the call for so much weight to put weights on in the dynamic mode of the balancer. For instance dynamic weights go on each side of the rim and larger wheels might call for 6oz on the one side and 4 on the other but in static mode it may only call for 5oz in the center of the wheel. Do this balance is like the old style bubble balance that was done in the late 80’s and earlier years. Only thing is now you have a machine that tells you the weight instead of guessing. I build and repair these machines for a living so that’s how I know about it and with weights in different spots of your wheel is call counter balancing. So you might have 3oz in one spot but when you do your check spin it might tell you that you need to add more weight in a new spot.

I have more or less the same truck, mine is a Big Horn. I'm looking to go with a 3.5 inch lift and keeping the rims at 20, plan was to go down to 17s but the rotor/brakes won't allow anything smaller. So I'm just gonna slap some 20 inch Black Rhino Barricades with meaty tires on it and call it a day, that way I gain clearance without sacrificing the off-road capability it already has

Man I dig it. That color is killa. Been staring at those wheels for some time. I just picked up a 2022 Rocky Ridge and it is fun to drive.

Just got the 5 inch rough country for mine along with 22x10 -24 wheels. This is an awesome looking truck and now i cant wait to get mine done

[RILLAMAN]

That’s the same truck I’am looking to get very soon 🤔. Your set up is perfect to me personally. This is great information as well. Definitely appreciate it👌🏽

[Faian_si]

I want to get my first truck but the more and more I do my homework on this things. I’m 50/50 on getting one now so much BS on lift and after market rims. I wanted to go 22” rims on 35’s and a 3.5” lift.. still investigating 👍 also no one speaks on how long the tires last on off roading or just your typical daily driven truck from home to work..

I have a 6 inch lift on my 2020 Bighorn. Rough Country is the best lift for the money. It comes with way more components than BDS. All I did though was upgrade to coil overs to smooth out the road. You don’t buy a truck to complain about the gas. Most truck owners have a car for that.

[saltyvetsimracing]

Ive got the 2019 limited with a 6 inch lift and 33s about to move to 37s. Anytime you lift anything its gonna make a difference with everything driving. Love the truck man looks good maybe a little bigger tires but its your truck homie, do you.

[MarkFerguson-jokz]

Oh and can you please go over the lighting setup I would love to do that as well! Preciate you brother!!

[nickbaspaly]

Great video dude, exactly the information I was hoping for. That truck is smoking hot too, great taste!

[itchdog]

This just helped me so much i have to same truck and I’m in the process of getting it lifted..so keep up the good work with informing u… 💪🏾 Ride High Brother 💯💯💯

[mspoutdoors]

Good looking truck. I have a 2021 Ram Rebel that I’m about to put a 6” lift on with 37” tires on 22” wheels

[vinnyroache]

Nice truck my brother! I have the same truck. I have a 6 inch lift and I’m running 22x12 -44 hostile rims wrapped in a 35x12 12 1/2 tire.

The only run I get once in a blue moon is when I’m backing up on full lock depending on how even the surface.

I had some trimming done when the lift was installed. There’s was still a little rubbing. In the end I removed the front valance and the break damper and there’s no run at all. Removing the front valance also makes the truck look a couple of inches higher too.

[Mike-hj]

About the best truck I done seen on here

[ponslokang]

I bought my 2019 1500 ST night edition
I rather level it and still put 35”.
Lifting just speeds up the process of damages sadly :(

I’m feelin the rims though

[richardcruz]

I went with 22x10 it was a hard choice between 22x12 but it looks good the way you have it on 24x12s I figured I could just add a 2 inch spacer but I know the concave look will still be by 10 instead of 12 😂

[Mobtta_]

Yeah them drive thrus be getting me i just run the curves over i have a lot more rubber than rim so i dont worry about scuffing my rims
