Hey guys, I have what appears to be a unique problem. I was hoping to install the Bakflip MX4 on a 2020 Limited with Rambox. My installer is saying that I have to purchase different rails from Mopar. I have looked at ~ 500 posts covering the topic of the Bakflip and I have not seen this issue. I'll add pics later, but the rails are the black rails with sliding tie downs. The Bakflip instructions don't specify the need for different rails either. Has anyone encountered this? BTW, the only thing I have noticed is that the rails sit high on the bed.
I just found the answer after searching for weeks!!

Picked up my '22 Bighorn yesterday. Went on the weathertech website to grab floor mats and wind deflectors and neither are available yet for the 22 model. Anyone know if the 2021 version of either will fit? I don't believe there were any changes between 21-22 that should affect either, but thought I would check here anyways. I'll probably end up ordering the 2021 versions and return them if they don't fit.

That sounds like a plan, and there were no body changes to the ‘22. There’s rumored minor styling changes for ‘23, but who knows if that will happen with all the supply chain issues going on.

Just ordered some Wulf 1/2” leveling spacers because I don’t know if my truck will sit level after installing the eibach coilovers.

When you getting your coilovers?
Supposedly this weekend or early next week. I just have to sit back and wait, but the suspense is killing me.

The Eibach kit does not come with upper strut mounts, so I ordered a new pair from the dealer with my wholesale account to prevent me from needing to take apart the stock struts. The goal is when I go back to stock for trade-in in a couple years, I just slap the stock struts back on, eyeball the alignment, and I’m good to go.

Do you have the PN's needed for the top mounts? I want to order them for when I do my coilover kit as well. haha

I don’t, but I can give them to you later this week when I pick them up. I did everything over the phone and didn’t bother getting part numbers. You will need two different pieces: the strut mount and a rubber spring isolator.

Well I decided to paint the chrome plastic pieces off the wheels to a dark gray. Going to see it out in the sun a bit and see how it looks.

That looks great! Even if they are a little off in colour the slight contrast would look awesome.

Yeah I actually like that it has a slight contrast. Didn’t think it was going to be so easy and come out this great.

Is the carven a lot louder than the stock muffler? Any drone on the highway?

Gotta call geico I guess. Got a letter from chrysler capital stating that they have no record of me having collision or comprehensive coverage on my ram. On the same policy as my wife's cherokee. No issues there. I can see the coverage in the app and on the site, and I'm definitely paying for it. Weird right?

You need the silver rails. I have the part number some place. Black rails are only for the soft mopar cover.
Let me know if you have additional questions. I went with the mx4 as well.
