Funny how in Africa, the locals can endure repeated economical and starvation hits, and still remain civillized overall (even when death is imminent). Yet, here in the most highly developed part of the world, if disaster strikes, we'll all turn to zombies, stabbing eachother for "survival"!

How close to a PW's performance, would a diesel Ram running Carli Backcountry kit come? As far as I know, the Backcountry kit offers the most suspension travel of any setup (12.5" front and 13.5" rear if I remember correctly). With a sway bar quick disconnect kit, it should flex close to, or...

Didn't realize the stock Dodge suspension is that weak. I'm guessing it's the OEM shocks that lack damping? I remember reason on Ram owner who put just the 6% coils on, with stock front shocks, and he bottomed out all over the place, even worse than stock, and that's with an empty trucks. This...

Be careful that with a camper on the back, a leveling kit will not be "level", you may end up with a pitchup kit! Or be forced to run high pressure in the bags. Just MHO, I think your truck looks great the way it is, and I won't change a thing. Unless you want more offroad bottoming out...

Well, that changes things a bit. I would say stick with duals then, especially if you can get 225 tires for cheap (you wouldn't want a 225 single setup). Slightly off topic, anyone know why Rickson discontinued their aluminum rims? Seems like American Eagle is the only one offering alcoa style...

Just to add a little more detail / confusion into the whole turbocharger thing: a compressor's gas stream output temperature depends on the pressure ratio, not absolute pressure output. At sea level, if you boost 29.4 psig on a diesel, you have a pressure ratio of 3:1 (atmospheric being 14.7...

"Float" is relative. 425/65r22.5 floaters are not close to 44" swampers aired down to 10 psi, but they'll out-float 315/80r22.5. Same with super singles on drive axles, they'll out-float a pair of 11r22.5s, which is why their snow performance is crap. Also, 265/70 tires @ 65psi will cary more...

Do you offroad a lot with the truck? If so, you may want to do the single conversion, as 265 tires will give you more floatation than 225 tires up front, where the heavy diesel sits. On the other hand, if you haul offroad, then the dual 225s will float better than single 265. For ultimate...

Since Porsche was brought up, let's look at some of the diehard Porsche fans. They believe that everything Porsche makes is watered down crap. In their mind, Porsche should only make primitive, air cooled, rwd, rear engine, sportscars that weight less than 2800 lbs with an interior that can...

A little late reply here, but I think you may be mixing up battery capacity (amp-hour) with current (amp)? Almost any automotive battery would put out 480 amp by itself, though not for long (and with some voltage drop). You certainly don't need two 50kg batteries. However, chances are, those...
