More Information About KORE Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab SuspensionKORE Suspension Systems for Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab trucks are not Dodge lift kits in the traditional sense. KORE doesn't believe in the philosophy behind “cosmetic lift kits.” Most Dodge lift kits are cosmetic - an inexpensive way by which people enhance the looks of their vehicles. KORE Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab 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; it's a question of function. Many Dodge lift kits violate design parameters engineered into the vehicle by teams of men and women with PhD’s in physics and mechanical engineering. The people at the vehicle's manufacturer generally know what they’re doing. A universal joint can only move within a very specific range before it binds or wears prematurely. Wheel caster and camber are preset at the factory to give the vehicle good handling characteristics. 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 that KORE Dodge 1500 Megacab 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. Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab Suspension - The KORE Difference KORE Dodge Ram 1500 Megacab suspension systems generally raise the truck 2.0 – 3.5 inches in the front – and about an inch or two the rear. This 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 1500 Megacab suspension systems roughly double that space, thereby doubling your available up travel. Your Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab 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 suspension can't provide. KORE mini-paks provide up to 50% more effective wheel travel for Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab trucks and, depending on the configuration, do not significantly change the vehicle height or GVWR. Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab Suspension - Absorbing Big Bumps It is a common misconception that in order to absorb big bumps, you must have stiff springs and lots of compression dampening. If we were making the suspension stiffer, then every little bump would be transmitted into the chassis. The key is that racing suspension is progressive. It’s very soft and supple over small bumps. It allows the axles to move quickly and react to the little imperfections on the highway and off-road. The first time KORE customers drive their KORE trucks down a washboard dirt road, they can’t believe how smooth, quiet and plush the ride is. When a larger bump is encountered, especially something with a square edge, the suspension just tightens up – as if it knows ahead of time what to do. It’s really amazing the first time you experience it. Dodge RAM 1500 Megacab Suspension - The Engineering Difference KORE 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 at Level Nine, comfortably and in total control, while others can barely keep their vehicles together at a snail's pace. KORE takes 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 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 suspension. Please take a look around our Web site for additional information about the difference that KORE Dodge RAM suspension can offer you.
