To increase
handling and responsiveness the Ram's suspension was lowered 3in. up front
and 4in. in the rear with a lowering kit from Advantage Performance Center.
The stock springs and shocks were discarded and replaced by Advantage's
Tech 1 Springs and Gas-pressurized Shocks. The all-new, factory stock
rack & pinion steering was designed for the Ram and works great to
quickly turn in was precise driver feedback. This is the first use of
power-assisted rack & pinion steering in any full-size pickup, a Dodge
first.
The power-assisted,
4-wheel, ABS steel disc brakes are the industry's largest and most powerful
at 13.8in. vented up front/13.2in. solid disc rear, with each rotor clamped
by dual piston calipers. No real need to upgrade right now.
The lowered
and arched well wells are magnificently stuffed with huge, BF Goodrich
P305/35ZR24in. G-Force steel-belted, radial tires. Blowing your mind even
more are the gigantic and beautifully designed Oasis 24X10in. alloy wheels.
It's chariot time when you're rolling down the road in this gorgeous Ram.
Kenne Bell's
designers weren't finished with the total remake yet. The rear, full-size
cargo box was fitted with a Gaylord's bed liner and covered over with
Gaylord's great looking, automatic cover that's further fitted with Gaylord's
dual, Speedsturr-Speedbumps, each with a locking storage compartment.
It really makes this Ram look special.
Beautifully
tying everything together is the magnificent paint and stripping job by
Mike Face Custom Paint Inc. Keeping everything cool and private is dark-tinted
Johnson Window Film. A factory installed manual and dark tinted slider
is found in the rear. Adding to your comfort and support while traveling
the roads are matching, red and silver gray, 'Katzkin', power-assisted,
high-backed, bucket seats up front with matching center console, and flip-up
bench seat in the rear.
Wow, this
2002 Dodge Ram is the fastest and coolest looking Ram on the road, thanks
to Kenne Bell and his great staff of designers, engineers and friends
in the aftermarket industry.
