They have to use that money to clean up frisco lol. I used to live in the Central Valley and the country roads are horrible. Now my commute is mainly on I5 here in socal so it’s not as bad

Ya 5 is nice. Love driving it when I visit family in Carlsbad.

Looks great, what kit?

Thanks! It's the second most hated kit on here, IHC. It's a nice kit. The rear flip is outstanding, the front arms are good so far. Time will tell. I also added rear air bags with on board air.

I'm using the IHC kit, which is a copy of the Mcgaughys kit. I added the Airlift wireless one onboard air setup

@UofAZCats When those parts come in for your rear end can you try an snag a pic either before or after they go in?

I will get some pictures.. Heck once I get it where I want it you won't be able to stop me posting like crazy.

I don't have a direct side shot on hand. I'll get one once the new wheels are on. I know that was an issue on some kits, it's definitely not noticeable if it is off.

I've run Mcgaughys, belltech and now this IHC kit on different trucks over the years. All kits have their ups and downs. This one is no exception.

My thing is they coppied the djm kit and toon it a step further without correcting the issue. This uesr aline ive taken off atleast 10 djm/inez kits for local people. You mighthave good luck but i have nothingbut bad to say about both kits

Here is my front wheel using the Inez lower control arm only for a 3.5" drop.

The last Mcgaughys kit I was going to run on my 2010 was so bad that the spindle rubbed on the ball joint boot. I never even finished putting it together. I removed the spindle and put it back to stock returning the kit. My last Ram was a Belltech kit, but it was just springs and a panhard relo bracket. Hard to screw that up.

The rear flip is great, pinion angle is perfect and I have zero vibrations. The front has a bit to be desired, but it's not bad. At least it's good enough to drive on.

Worst case, I'll try a Mcgaughys spindle (again) and one of the drop strut options. I just want to get back to 5" up front if I change it. I haven't been that impressed with belltech spindles as of late, definitely not impressed with their shocks.

Yes thats bad. Usung arms they should correct that. Im at 4.5 in front with spindled and strutd and mine is even that bad. The inez arms to go 6. just imagine what it would be like then.

Those guys who "copied" that kit in my opinion are dumbasses for that

I've wondered if I was sent an incorrect spindle for the arms my truck had? Who knows. I've heard nothing but good things and that was my one and only experience with them. Plus, their customer service was really lacking through that issue.

I'll get a pic of my wheel tomorrow if I remember, it's damn near centered. Even at 5". They redesigned their kits and the only go to 5 in the front now. I'm wondering if they fixed some of those issues in this last revision.
