I have this Bilstein lift on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 and it made the ride a little rougher.

Excellent video. You hath deterred me 😅

Merci beaucoup ❤❤❤❤❤

This is terrible...your still using a terrible method to lift a truck. Why don't you do it the right way??????????

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

It's always handy having a guy wearing lederhosen hanging around as backup.

The spacers are supposed to go on the bottom of the coils

working with bare feet.. you gonna get hurt ..do NOT use a screwdriver ...

How do you break the motor in??

By my naivety I measured a bulb resistance when not under power and did not understand why Om's law not working. Thanks for the respond.

Why not use a water cooled boat engine,you could put towel back on?

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.

What is recommended for a 2019 classic 2wd?

Excellent Video. Thanks for sharing! : )

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

Great video, I love dad!!!

You have a link for those struts?

Where did you get the trailer ???

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.

So glad I saw your video before I put the exact same type of spacers on my Ram 😮

Thank you! Exactly what I needed. One third off the group 94 battery.

Is there an impleller in that outdrive?

very very informative thank you

Have 2.5 inch spacers on my ram and had no issues 3 years later ....I would recommend strongly to get the car alignment right after and no issues

Wrong instalstion 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ dont use this video

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should...

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.

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

Can I install the Ready Lift SST 3.5 inch lift and the Bilstein coilover shocks to my 1500 Ram?

I got a RC lift and it lowered my front end.. the rear is higher now and I don’t like it. I have to add spacers

Just depends on the level kit you get. You get what you pay for. No issues with my Ready Lift 2 inch level kit with upgraded upper control arms. Stay away from those chinese ebay cheapies and youll be fine.

"I always thought Volvo was British" love that and the bare feet. If you aren't fixing your boat barefoot are you really fixing it

So, I’m a machinist. If I was gonna machine my own spacers. How big would the hole have to be to not allow it to move around

Can you buy a kit that has everything you need like the o rings an bellows an bearings

I bought some 2.5 inch spacers for the front, but I only plan on keeping them in there for a few months until I can put on some Bilstein 5100s. However I agree that in the long run, spacers are not the way to go!

thanks for the vid man.

Great video thanks! I wonder what the Mopar kit looks like as I saw one listed in a brochure at the dealership.

Nice explanation! Thank you.

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.

What tool was used to remove the knuckle? Looks like a triple square

great information ... thanks Alex Lifeson (Rush) .. I mean Stanley LOL :)

I loved your let’s get the job done way of making this video, 😊 you got the job done I guess there was no part 2 video ?

Hence why the hole is so big

I got to tell you something that's probably going to hurt your feelings that rubber bushing goes on top of the spacer Mount Not underneath how special do you feel now thanks for telling me how to install something backwards🎉

Great video. I didn’t like the idea of a spacer now I definitely don’t.

You both are awesome 👌 thank you so much, my favorite video hands down
