Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I traded in my 2016 Ram ED for a 2021 5.7 Laramie. Since the night I purchased I have been browsing the forums and sending some members messages. Everyone here is great and I have gotten so much information and many ideas catching up on the history of threads. Thanks everyone who contributes! I'm located in Dallas GA and its cool to see a few people on here that I also see driving around town.
I haven't done much so far, had the windows/windshield/headlights tinted (need to do 3rd brake light), and had a Borla ProXS muffler installed for a bit of a deeper rumble. I left the rest of the exhaust system stock and resonators on. When I first heard it I loved the sound but was disappointed with the volume. Its been a week or so now and I like being able to go to the golf course early without waking the neighbors but I also have some rumble when MDS comes on. I'm still debating a resonator delete and welcome and opinions from those of you that have resonators removed. I know the ProXS is one of the more tame borla mufflers but I really dont want a LOUD truck, just a loud one... if that makes sense. I've also got the 2" reverse leveling springs I found researching via the fourms. I jacked up the truck and took the wheels off the other day but only managed to drop and scuff a rim since I didnt have a 21 mm socket to take off the shock bolt. Didnt plan ahead on that one and I think i am going to just pay to have them installed somewhere.
Not sure about future plans. I dont mind the way the truck drives but I see the helwig sway bar discussed enough that it must be pretty good. I am also looking at the OPT7 reverse/break light bar since the tails are tinted and I want people to know I'm stopping. I also want to upgrade the Sub (I have HK) but it really seems like an expensive PITA with all the ANC stuff when all I really want to add is a little 400w amp and 10" sub for a tiny thump. Im trying to figure out if a Kicker Key plugged directly into the exiting sub wires will accomplish what I want but its hard to tell when it seems like different people get different results.
I dont have a lot of ideas otherwise. I like the stock wheels but will fit a little bigger road tire to them to fill the wheel well a little better once the first set wear out. If you guys have anything you think was well worth the money let me know and Ill add it to my wish list.
thanks for the read,
Jonathan
