Part 1: How to Turn a Ram 1500 into a Ram Runner

[SVTOffroad News Bot]

The Mopar Ram Runner kit is now available to turn almost any 2009-2012 Ram 1500 into a hardened off-road racer all at once or at your own pace and budget. Here’s how it’s done.

$21,000 for a used base model 1500
$13,270 for the Ram runner kit
+install with no factory warranty
$35,000 +

I paid $40,00 for mine brand new and have had a few thinks like shocks and steering gear replace under warranty. It's cool package and a nice setup but I'm still haooy with my decesion...

BTW check out this comment from Mike Levine in response to some comments...

"Please stop trolling. One of these days we'll do a Tacoma off-road story and I'm sure you wouldn't want someone to troll that post with Raptor or Ram Runner comments. They are significantly different trucks.

And I'd love to see video of a stock Tacoma TRD doing 60 to 80 mph off-road on a rutted trail. From my experience, the Tacoma's factory suspension would be in trouble.

I'm off for the rest of the day in a Raptor SuperCrew. Headed to Hungry Valley. Happy 4th, y'all."

Pretty cool story, actually. I have been wanting to hear some details of the install.

They have lots of yota trolls over there. Hopefully Mike will write up a trail report

Now does this kit add width?

Now does this kit add width?

Yep. I think it makes the Ram about 8 inches or so wider, about the same as the Raptor.
