I have some shots I'll post a little later once I get them transferred to me of the final setup, with the 3" lift Alcan's and the 35s I had on the truck. Now the RCC looks a bit taller than my truck.

I little factoid when building a rear driveshaft with a CV. If you go with the flange style setup on the tcase, you can't use the original washer and nut on the original yoke style setup.

Went parts chasing this morning and found that a nut on the rear output of the Jeep NP231 works perfect. The nut is smaller and has a built in washer, so it works perfect.

After driving the RamCharger with the Alcan's, there's no comparison in price or ride quality to the Skyjackers on the truck, the Alcan's are superb in every way. I achieved about the same lift, and the ride is very smooth, where the truck still pounds you on rough stuff.

Man am I jealous, I want one. My brother tells me to come get his '93 from Idaho and that is exactly what I would do to it.

noted ... the lift that was put on mine ... makes the truck ride like a brick and milwaukee's streets are tough. All hammered concrete ...

I only can guess at who made the lift I've got on mine, only indication is the shocks, white bodies and blue boots -- superlift? whatever the case is ... makes me want to put it back to down stock height and 31s real quick so I can actually enjoy the ride ...

looks good Fred ... keep it up!

Thumbs up Wow

Late to this thread but that is one RIGHTEOUS conversion.

Why didn't Dodge make a CTD available in the RamCharger in the first place?

That truck would be an ideal weekend vehicle for someone who needs inside storage for their gear AND significant towing capacity (like ME).

What is the GVW now?
