Fox Shocks Ride Review
Since there were numerous team members currently equipped with Fox, along with Kingston’s Rebel, we took the opportunity to go get a feel for all 3 platforms. All three vehicles handled well with the Fox Shocks installed but there were some slight differences in the ride quality depending upon which type of terrain you drive over most often. 2020 Ram Power Wagon - Fox 2.0 Performance The 2020 Power Wagon has a new Carli Suspension 2" kit riding on Fox 2.0 Performance Shocks. The Power Wagon doesn't see too much high speed environments, but the Carli system can definitely handle...
Bilstein 6112 install on a 2020 Ram 1500
We continue to preach how strut spacers just aren’t going to cut it for any kind of performance gains. When you put a strut spacer on top of the shock tower in order to gain some additional height in order to clear larger tires, you’re directly impacting the factory strut in more than 1 way. The spacer will cause the factory shock tower to be pre-drooped, which eliminates downtravel of the suspension equal to the spacer’s physical height. And the factory struts and shocks aren’t valved to handle a 25-50% increase in unsprung weight due to larger wheels and tires,...

Bilstein 6112 Release, Applications, and Overview
Bilstein has delivered their answer to Rancho's Quicklift Leveling system and Fox's 2.0 Performance Coilovers, albeit without being fully assembled. Bilstein's new 6112 kit features brand new coil springs, a massive 60mm digressive piston, and an adjustable spring seat for 5 different height settings. 5 settings is an upgrade over 3 settings on the 5100 series, which gives more refinement on your vehicle's ride height to be more precise with varying front-end loads. The thickness of the new shock (approx 2.3") allows for far more hydraulic fluid capacity over the 5100, Fox 2.0, and any of Rancho's products. This means greater...
