Thread: '06 Dodge Ram 1500 2wd Prerunner Build

Replacing the shock on the hood. You know how dodges hoods are.

Those will be going on the back soon...

A friend of mine is in the market for a new truck.
Still looking to get rid of it?
Turned out bitchin love the look of the dodges.

Just ordered some 1 3/4 .120 and aluminum...

Also doing a custom spring under deaver pack. Talked to jeff and spring over just isn't gonna cut it with the stock hangers. Going to do a sprig under with all stock hanger as on the dodges there welded on there pretty damn good. He sad he can pull some cleaner travel staying away from springs being negative with spring under. With spring over the most up travel with out a crazy lift it about 6 to 7 so spring under can probably move the bumps up and get more up travel. It should be a nice ride with some testing and the right Valving in the bypasses.

I always wanted to see someone build a ram 1500 runner. I wish I had the knowledge to build arms like that and stuff.

Fordf-125 is the one who built the entire front end. My brother will be doing the back end. April we will be taking her out on her maiden voyage. She has seen a little bit of dirt, but that was only back roads of hemet/menifee.

Where is the maiden voyage taking place?

More than likely in Lucerne.

More the marrier

Nice! If my rear gets done by then the Dakota might make an appearance

We will probably be going out there the weekend of the 14th-15th... anyone who wants to join is more than welcome. Would be cool to get a group to go out.

love the dodge what are your plans for the rear, i got an 04 dodge ram 1500 we i-beamed

The 3.0 16" triple bypass shocks on the previous page and having Deaver build a custom set of under sprung leaf's. Simple v-style bedcage keeping most of the bed and two spares in the back(undecided on how to mount them/strap them)

Very nice, I can't decide if I want to run deavers or a frame 4 link I want to turn my truck into a class 8 and race it in the next year if all goes to plan witch it never does haha

Just got done talking to Jeff at Deaver and will be putting my order in today for a custom under sprung pack using stock mounting location. Travel numbers and description will be posted later...

Picked up the deavers yesterday 66" long, 15" arch to ground.

Backs looking good.

Looks badass!

I come back from afghanistan myself for good in november.. wanted to build my dodge up too, same year and everything only mine is a regular cab, how much overall did you spend just on the front suspension? I've been looking around for long travel kits for dodges but they dont really have any out there, just have to get it custom. Anyways, looking at your thread gave me some idea's for mine, it looks pretty clean.
