RAM Radius Arm Conversion?

[OCP]

I'm picking up a radius arm front end to replace the four link on my 2013.

I can build my own brackets if need be, but I'm wondering if anyone has done this and what they did for bracketry.

Are you trying to use OEM arms? Carli (and a few others) make an excellent radius conversion kit designed for older trucks.

Not sure what all goes into making the OEM stuff work, as the springs and shock designs are entirely different.

You'll be changing vertical movement to more of an arc movement that it was never designed for.

Yes, I bought a complete front assembly from a 2016.

Interesting.

As far as I know, the entire frames differ between years (including a large cross member under the engine), and you'll lack the proper locations to mount anything with factory brackets.

I imagine you'll probably have to fab radius arm brackets, track bar brackets, coil buckets, and shock mounts custom to adapt to your frame style.

I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I ended up buying the front frame section as well.

I think it will end up being more work but more straightforward.

Well, post it up as you make the magic happen we'll follow along.

Good luck.
