Ram Modifications

Make me a set Bubba...

Has anyone simply boxed their stock ones for strength?

Bubba, have you seen these?:

Solid Steel.biz

Some good stuff on that site. I like the air box to.

These things just look to damn easy to make and gettin easier with every post. In his case it looks like he just used some Rectangular tubing and welded the tube through it for the end links.

Easy enoug Doc. If I get these things figure out it wouldn't take nothin to do several sets at the same time.

That's the exact pattern I was originally thinkin of.

just be aware that these things arent just a straight piece..................they are doglegged on both ends

I just went out and looked at the stock ones. Not worth the trouble. Talk about cheap, just stamped sheet metal parts.

There's the secret's I'm lookin for. Explain a little more here.

kinna hard to explain but go look under yer truck
