New To Ram

[Rusty1965]

I just bought a 2021 Ram with 5.7 crew cab with a 6.4 bed in a stunning blue. So far I had the windows tinted, on the rear window an American flag with an eagle decal put on, bed cover and have rain guards for the outside of the doors. Want to add exhaust and the air kit to it as well as level it and some bigger tires

Welcome and nice looking truck.

Welcome I don't know much about RAM trucks as I'm still wet behind the ears, but you'll find the answers you want and don't want here.
The first thing I did was buy S&B intake and a 3 inch flowmaster for about $1,300. You can probably achieve similar results at the muffler shop and a used oem intake for $700 less. It just depends on what you want to do. Nice truck have fun

To save some $, drop in a dry air filter like aem or k&n these trucks have a cold air intake basically, unless you want like the open cone type k&n air kit and are like $350(look at the oem box, looks like a cold air just not fancy unless you go to car shows). Exhaust won't add horsepower, but will add sound, I would save the money and if sound is what your after, do a different muffler or deleat. A hellwig rear sway bar is like $300 and can be installed in less than 45 minutes, no need to jack up truck and makes truck handle like a dream, love the sway bar, I can take corners like a car now, sway almost gone. I had leveling puck in my truck in front(21 bighorn 5.7 4x4) and ride was terrible, I removed puck and had bilstein 5100s that are adjustable to level front. With the bilstein 5100s and hellwig sway bar, feels like it is supposed to, responsive, handles excellent. I just got my truck a couple months ago, but had a 4th gen ram(x2) before this 21 DT. Tomorrow installing front bushings(energy brand $30), the front sway bar is heavy duty on these trucks, unlike the rear. But they use a softer bushing on front, so they wear in as little as 35k miles and the energy bushings are a solid poly type bushing, will last much longer and tighten up movement for better front response and is cheap, 2 bolts on each side, cut old bushing off, replace. I have a flag decal I need to install in middle sliding windows still. Bang for buck, the bigger rear sway bar is one of best mods I have done to a vehicle and is good price. Enjoy, I would save the money on intake and exhaust and get a tune, will be way better and noticable difference, good sound can be had for very little, no need to replace entire exhaust. I have thought about getting the electric muffler that can switch from normal to open exhaust, think its like $500 for the kit, then you have best of both, sound or quiet.
