How does the HP Series differ from the Recon system?

The HP Series is a more basic approach. The shocks in the front are the Bilstein 5100 6681’s which are shorter than the Recon front shocks. The reason that is is because the Recon system allows for more droop travel due to the Billet Aluminum Rings that are included with the system. It also includes the End Link Assembly Kit, the Bump Stops and the Bilstein Steering Stabilizer. Both systems improve the street ride from stock. The Recon is a good purchase for those who are mainly street drivers and who occasionally like to do light off roading. The HP Series is designed for street drivers who rarely do light off roading.

Can I add spacers or blocks to my Dodge that already has a KORE suspension system installed on it?

We highly recommend that you do not mix other aftermarket lift or suspension components with the KORE parts. Adding blocks or spacers will compromise the ride quality, performance and safety of a KORE equipped vehicle. Just imagine, the more height you add to a system the more unstable it will become. This will cause the bumps in the ride to become extenuated. You also may experience premature wear and tear on you're your OE parts and KORE parts if you combine other aftermarket suspension pieces.

How does the KORE mini pack function?

The KORE mini pack is designed to replace your lower over load leaf. Since the KORE pack is comprised of several leaves it will maintain the same strength as the over load. So, all of your towing and hauling capabilities will remain the same. The critical part though is the fact that the mini pack will flex with your other leaves. This causes the rear to function more fluidly, which in turn keeps the tires in better contact with the ground. This will allow the shocks to absorb the bumps better and reduce the amount of wheel hopping tendencies.

What do the Billet Drop Blocks do?

The Billet Drop Blocks are a necessary part that lowers your anti-sway bar back to the stock position in order to take pressure of you your OE end links. When you raise the vehicle a couple inches to three, you start to put more strain on the end links. So, these blocks are designed to basically trick them into thinking they are at the stock location.

Can I upgrade to the different system?

Yes, you can order KORE products separately to build up to the next level of suspension as long as that suspension is made available for your year Dodge.

Should I get the truck aligned after installing it?

We recommend that you get your vehicle aligned after the KORE system is installed. For those that have the KORE steering stabilizer on there truck please make note: Prior to the alignment, make sure you let the alignment specialist know that the KORE steering stabilizer will cause the tires to point to the left once they leave the ground. That way the alignment shop won’t make a mistake and assume something is wrong.

I have firestone air bags on my truck. Are they compatible with a KORE system?

Yes, you can use air bags in conjunction of a KORE system. They won’t get in the way of the suspension when installed. Please only inflate the air bags when loaded. Keeping the air bags at a low PSI when under weight will allow the suspension in the rear to continue to articulate properly. If you have the air bags inflated too much it will cause a restriction in the movement of the rear suspension, which will result in a stiff feeling coming from the rear. So keep the pressure conservative. It’s not recommended to use air bags if you have the Full Replacement Prerunner Packs though because those packs have a lot more articulation to offer and will rip the bags.

Which brand of ball joints does recommend by KORE?

The Bilstein 5100’s a general part number. The 6681’s are a front Bilstein shock. The 6646 is also a front Bilstien shock, but is slightly longer in order to compensate more wheel travel. The 6647 is a Bilstein rear shock. Theses shocks will fit on a Dodge 4x4 that is stock.

What nitrogen pressure is recommended for my Fox shocks and steering stabilizer?

The PSI required for the Fox shocks and steering stabilizer is 200 psi of nitrogen.

Why nitrogen? Why not just use air pressure like an air shock?

Although air is mostly nitrogen, pure nitrogen does not have moisture or “other elements” in it. It is less prone to large, heat-related changes in volume, thereby affecting damping. Adding more pressure does not significantly affect the way the shock works – do not change the nitrogen pressure.

What is the purpose of the steering stabilizer?

The steering stabilizers are designed to create a left hand pressure in order to compensate the tires following the crown of the road, which pulls to the right. The pressure is 200 psi of nitrogen.

Is the KORE steering stabilizer necessary for street drivers?

We recommend the steering stabilizer to those who experience the right hand pull caused by the crown of the road or who run a larger tires than the stock ones.

My steering stabilizer is creating a pull to the left, how can I adjust it to track straight?

The steering stabilizer provides 200 psi of nitrogen pressure in order to compensate the right hand pull that Dodge Rams are notorious for creating. If the pull to the left is too much pressure, simply bleed the schrader valve for a fraction of a second. Then, screw the cap on and drive the truck to see if the pressure is just right. Repeat the process until you get to the pressure that your Dodge needs. Keep in mind that nitrogen moves very quickly out of the shocks when you bleed it, so be careful to only let a little out. Also, do not use an air pressure gage to check the psi because you’ll completely bleed the shock.

Will the Bisteins and Fox shocks fit on my stock Dodge Ram?

Yes, the Fox shocks and Bilsteins will be able to apply to a regular stock Dodge Ram 4x4.

Can I put air in my Fox Shocks temporarily?

What is “death wobble?”

Death Wobble is a violent shaking when the vehicle is in motion. Generally, it happens on the freeways at high speed. It’s a weird phenomena because it is not always consistent and can come form many sources. In rare cases, a completely bone stock Dodge 2500/3500, 4x4, solid axle can become death wobble prone straight off the lot. The most common creators of death wobble on a Dodge Ram are D rated tires (8 ply) and damaged steering linkages. Many Dodge owners upgrade to a 315 or 35 inch tire. In doing so, they tend to go with a D rated tire because they are less expensive than the E rated (10 ply) ones. Your Dodge Ram 4x4 Heavy Duty truck is supposed to run at least E rated tires. If you run a D rated tire for example, you will over work it because of the weight of the truck. Once the harmonics develop in the tire a slight bump can disturb the flow, sending the harmonic to the side wall for support to stabilize it. If the side wall is too strained just dealing with the weight of the truck then it will not stabilize the harmonic, but simply send it back to the other side, causing a ping pong exchange. This will then start the death wobble. Best thing to do to prevent death wobble is to maintain your truck probably and by running tires that are designed to support the weight of a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty 4x4.

Can I use a D rated tire on my Dodge?

It is not recommended to run a D rated tire on your Dodge 4x4. Instead it is suggested to use a E rated tire that is a 10 ply side wall so that the it can support the weight of the truck.

What air pressure should I use in my tires?

Once you get the KORE suspension on your truck you really don’t need the high PSI of air in your tires. For example, the Toyo 35x12.50x17 Open Country M/T only need about 35 psi in the front and 30 psi in the rear tires. When the tire is rolling on the road it will heat up which therefore cause the pressure to go up too. So this way it all evens out. When the truck is loaded those numbers should be higher as specified by the tire manufacturer.

What wheel tire combo will clear with a KORE system?

A great wheel tire combo is the Toyo 35x12.50x17 Open Country M/T on the stock 03-09 rim.

How can I clear 37 inch tires?

In order to clear a 37 inch tire, you must either install front and rear fiber glass panels or shave the existing fenders to make the proper clearance.

What if my truck has a right hand pull while driving?

This is common among Dodge Ram 4x4’s. You can correct this right pull by using installing the KORE steering stabilizer. It is filled with 200 psi of nitrogen pressure in order to create a push to the left. That will then compensate the right hand pull and cause the truck to drive straight.
