What did you do to your Ram today???

[SilverNight2020]

Already like them. Slight increase in stopping distance and maybe 1/1.5 mpg decrease in city driving. But I like them a lot otherwise. I'll try them out off road in the snowy mountains in November when it cools down here In Vegas.

Good to hear. Did you end up keeping the same size tire as stock, or did you go bigger? That will definitely affect your gas mileage. I went from at 32" to 33" on my F-150 and noticed a slight drop as well.

Different type of heat.....

Say no more...I completely understand. I'm from the east coast originally lol

I ended up keeping the stock size....almost went to a 70 aspect ratio but I figure I'm better off sticking with the guidelines from OEM...and for the mpg's lol. I'm still planning on putting a leveling kit on for the front in a few months (maybe at tax return time).

Bought it.
2020 Rebel. Photos to come.

So the side by the fender flare has to be pulled straight out towards the side and the part right by the headlight has to be pulled straight out too towards the front. And you have to pull hard. I even had to wiggle and pull as one of mine was kind of caught up

Ok thanks dude. I appreciate it

 

[thrillracing]

That's a beautiful blue Ram. I love that color. I just could get one that color.

Yes, yes you should! Lol

 

[TNSmokee]

I hope you like them as much as many of us told you we do.

True, I love mine.

SO am I,,,...,,, as in East Coast

Still trying to determine how to properly wire the LED running board lights. Evidently the easiest & best way (if you have the OEM LED bed lights & LED taillights) is tap the red from the running board lights to the white+tan wire in the bundle of wires in each taillight. Then the black (ground) from the running board lights to a black wire in the same taillight wire bundle. I'm 1/2 there as I've found the white+tan BUT also 4 black wires. ;>/ So how to I complete the circuit w/o frying the electrical system? Any tips are much appreciated!

I found the connection point that RamVader used. I have the Limited with the bed lights so I do like the idea of them coming on with those lights and having the ability to turn on/off with the switch in the bed. I did go a little different route though. I went with these:

MAX White LED Rock Light

NOT made in China! The ALL NEW Professional Grade MAX LED rock light. High output. 100% waterproof. Patented magnetic mounting system. Perfect for hard core off roaders and professional rock crawlers. Brutally Tough. Incredibly Bright. Easy Installation *NO DRILLING REQUIRED!*

I liked these because they are magnetic and I can place them directly in the middle of each door. I got the lights with the 20' leads so I'll have plenty of wire to make a clean install. I have the Curt trailer harness in place already for my reverse lights so that will be my grounding point as RamVader also suggested. I'm going to use butt connectors to tie them together and have a single lead going to the starting point where I'm using the splice connector. The part I didn't understand at first was the sequential turn signals. Evidently he has them wired to his curt connector to activate on that signal as well. Or maybe I'm still miss reading that part. Anyway, once I think I'm done and tell the wife that's it, "I promise", then something like this comes along. Oh well!!

Got Falkens on my ride.. Better ride, slightly stiff because U have so much more tire on the truck, instead of inflated balloons. Took 1 1/2 mpg hit, that OK< it is a Hemi, LOL. Stayed with stock 18" tire, all this BOIRD needs.

Nice! Did you go with the LT's or the standard Passenger ones?

Thanks TNSmokee. Those look sweet. And I'll have to reread the various posts to confirm the wiring to the bed lights, via the access behind the taillights.

This is the wire connection I'm trying to tap into, i.e., the white+tan and a black, but there's 4 black wires. So I must need to tap into another set of wires.
I'll keep reading and probing.

What size tire is that? Same as stock? Do you need to calibrate the speedometer?

Got the Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W installed today. (Only the P rated ones for the sake of my highway driving lol)
Just ordered some Meguiers tire shine gel for them too!

Those look great! And you said you stayed with stock size, do you know if your speedometer is off at all? I'm wondering if I'll have to recalibrate if i switch to the falkens but stay stock size....

Took the truck in Friday for a brake squeak when hitting the brakes, and CarPlay not working. Got some parts on order now.

Clay barred, then did paint correction and prepped it for PPF film.

Make sure they take a look at the 05-002-19 service bulletin. My brakes did not stop squealing until they installed the "anti-moan" kit. The new calipers are usually not enough to solve the problem.

I have that TSB done already. This isn’t for the rear brake loan when backing up. My calipers made small squeaks as I hit the brakes, even if not pad to rotor contact. The TSB you’re referencing did solve my howling noise when backing up though.

 

[GraniteRam]

Nothing today but hopefully tomorrow a trailer brake controller.
**Edit** just noticed they didn’t ship the screws and retaining clips/nuts...uggg

Same thing just happened to me.

I like this idea. You plan on doing a write up?
