General Information About KORE
Dodge RAM Suspension
KORE
doesn't believe in the philosophy behind cosmetic Dodge lift
kits. Most Lift kits are an inexpensive way by
which people enhance the looks of their vehicles. KORE
Dodge RAM suspension is
performance. Instead of inches of lift, KORE prefers to
think in terms of inches of total articulation – how far the
axles are allowed to move up and down while managing the
terrain.
And this is not just a question of terminology
– weighing real Dodge RAM suspension against a Dodge
lift kit –
it's a question of function. Many lift kits violate Dodge
RAM suspension design parameters engineered into the
vehicle by teams of men and women with PhD’s in physics and
mechanical engineering. For the most part,
Dodge lift kits do not increase wheel travel – and
sometimes they even reduce it. Dodge lift kits raise
the vehicle’s center of gravity, which adversely affects
handling – especially at the high speeds KORE Dodge RAM suspension
permits.
Look at any Baja race vehicle. Do they sit very
high off the ground? No, they don’t. And that's for a
reason.
KORE Dodge RAM suspension systems generally raise the
truck 2.0 – 3.5 inches in the front – and about an inch or
two the rear. KORE Dodge RAM suspension removes spring sag, providing the
suspension more available up travel with which to absorb
initial impacts. You will notice that on your stock truck,
the space between the axle and the bump stop is only a
couple of inches. The springs included with KORE Dodge
RAM suspension
systems roughly double that space, thereby doubling your
available up travel. With a KORE Dodge RAM suspension
system, your truck will also lose that “stink
bug” look and have an aggressive, level stance.
In the rear,
KORE's optional mini-paks replace your overload leaf(s)
providing a progressive, controlled spring rate that the
factory Dodge RAM suspension can't provide. KORE mini-paks
provide up to 50% more effective wheel travel and, depending
on the configuration, do not significantly change the
vehicle height.
KORE Dodge RAM suspension offers something of the highest quality that the factory won’t
offer because people don’t know just how well their trucks
can perform with it installed. It’s the same reason that
people continue to buy aftermarket “twin-tube” and
“gas-charged” shocks from the Dodge lift kit companies. These
shocks are hardly better than the OE shocks – and in some
cases they are much worse. The OE shock is at least designed
specifically for the intended vehicle.
Many aftermarket
companies expect one compression/rebound formula to perform
when installed on hundreds of different vehicles that each
have different weights, spring rates, shock mounting angles
and driving requirements. Most people just don’t know what
good Dodge RAM suspension is, so they’re satisfied with the
performance that is offered.
KORE Dodge RAM suspension systems will fit all 1994 – 2006
4x4 Dodge Ram solid axle trucks – gas or diesel. KORE custom
tailors each Dodge RAM suspension system to your needs.

KORE Dodge RAM suspension products are aerospace
precise with tight tolerances and zero failure rates. KORE's
goal was to use the finest materials, the finest components,
and the clearest thinking to create the best product
available. KORE Dodge RAM suspension is a bargain because it’s
real. Some of KORE customers, the ones who work their trucks
off-road, the ones who really use their trucks for
adventure, have said that they would have paid double that
price to have the performance we’ve given them.
KORE Dodge RAM suspension is engineered to allow the
truck to consistently and reliably attain unbelievable
speeds over some of the roughest terrain on earth. KORE does
most of its testing and R and D on the Baja Peninsula in
Mexico where there are few laws and even fewer ways to be
extracted if you break.
Some may be familiar with the road
from San Felipe to Gonzaga Bay running North-South along the
cliffs above the Sea of Cortez. It is nothing but rocky,
continuous, sometimes foot tall washboard with deep,
intermittent, cross-grain washouts for 100 miles. Imagine
driving this road with KORE Dodge RAM suspension at Level Nine, comfortably and in total
control, while others can barely keep their vehicles
together at a snail's pace.
KORE takes Dodge RAM suspension performance to an
unimagined realm – all while maintaining OE reliability. No
company has ever done that before. That’s what KORE is proud
of. Although KORE suspension systems give an aggressive,
modern look to your truck, KORE Dodge RAM suspension is not really selling
aesthetics. KORE is selling performance. Period. KORE is not
interested in anything else. And neither are the clients who
purchase KORE Dodge RAM suspension.
