KORE leveling kit

[Deleted member 995608]

Wouldn't the "right way" include an adjustable track bar???
I've always been a firm believer that leveling kits always create more problems than they solve.....

I've seen some rigs on forum B that have had some coil bow-ing problems with aftermarket coils. Looks like Carli suspension has answered the problem by offering a radius arm drop bracket for $550

:--)

We don't have the same opinion. My wife and kids like the ride in 16 way better than the old 04.

My point about the coils was that I want a lift coil that can handle the duty of a HD truck as designed, not a plush, long travel desert racer coil that's designed for ride characteristics instead of functionality. Hope that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense. My '14 started out the same way as yours, but was short lived. Somewhere between 5-10K miles the ride quality completely changed. My wife and son couldn't stand riding in it. After installing the coils she prefers driving the truck over her car. I have no experience with Kore, but I do with Thuren and Carli and I will recommend them to anyone and everyone.

The adjustable track bar the KORE offers for the 2014-2016 trucks is not currently on the website. It is made of 1.5" mandrel bent solid 4140 Chromoly with spherical bearings on both ends and double pass tig welded. You can call to order it (760) 855-1219.

I have thousands of miles towing a goose neck loaded down while chasing for the KORE race team in Baja. The springs hold up very well, and the truck's response is predictable. If I have to drop the trailer to get to the race truck in a hurry, I can drive at a faster rate comfortably without needing dental work after. It is a very versatile kit.

How much is that fancy Kore Adjustable track bar? I can't be the only one interested in this leveling kit? Any other takers? I'd sure like to get 25% off...anybody?

The KORE track bar runs $575.00

Yeah that price is kinda nuts, it's 180 bucks more than the Carli bar which is already kinda nuts...

Now that's funny. But seriously, 1.5" solid Chromoly. This part does not fail.

 

[Tim@KORE]

KORE used to make an adjustable track bar with 1.5" .250 wall chromoly. With 37" tires and low pressure, you could see the bar flexing.

This bar requires a ridiculous press in order to make it. Although the cost is higher, you can be confident that your track bar will remain in one piece.

Tim - we appreciate your dedication to the newer Ram trucks by offering the latest and greatest of after market parts. I'm sure a few of us will take advantage of your offer and I'm sending the best of wishes to a Veteran owned US company.

Hey Tim, is Kent still flying that four engined green machine? I've been away for a while, and that was the last image I saw of him.

Greg, are you referring to the class 8 truck? If so then yes but she has a new paint job. Here is a picture at the 1000

 

[Regcabguy]

That's south of Cabo Colonet where I've got a lot on the beach.
My Kore VR coils work well with my camper weight. Too stiff otherwise.

Tim- as my mom would say... "Gregory, you're making dust"... <G> Thanks for the update.

Agreed, I also applaud KORE and other vendors for servicing this market, as well as giving direct attention to the readers of the Turbo Desiel Register magazine and forum.

x2, I find the ride good and appropriate for heavy-duty uses including much off-highway travel. My 2014 2500 spends most of its time loaded to the GVWR and has performed impressively.

If I would have ordered a new truck to my specifications (and in years past) I would have ordered a 3500 out of habit (still with G56). However, since the price was right, I bought a coil-sprung 2500 off a lot, and have been impressed the the capabilities.

Greg, Here is a really dusty one.

Looked at the link, are there matched rear shocks available?

MRoberts, Yes the rear shocks are available for both the 3500's and 2500's. Take a look at the HP series kit!

Reminds me of the segment from "Dust to Glory", but it looks like the Jeep was riding a little closer to earth.
