2009 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 - Diesel Dodge

What do you get when you cross a brand new Dodge diesel with a yearning to have a big, badass 4x4? Richard Pogorzelski knows, and his '09 Quad Cab proves it. Besides still being used as an everyday driver, Richard's Dodge has been transformed into an off-roader with a linked rear end that can still tow heavy loads. If you're ever in New York, you might see Richard's truck bombing around the countryside or towering over everything else in traffic. Either way, he's happy and safe behind tinted windows from the potentially nasty New York weather outside.

Coilovers alone do not have any type of overload capacity, and they can quickly negate any towing capacity if used in the rear. Therefore, Richard added some airbags to use along with his coilover package. Now he can still use his diesel for towing duty.

The front AAM axle is held on by a Pure Peformance long-arm and coilover conversion kit. Using the coilovers, this truck is adjusted to about 9 inches of lift. The coilovers bolt into the locations of the stock coil springs, and retain the upper coil bucket on the frame.
