    Front bumper options (chicom pig iron need not apply)?

    Thanks guys - I ended up going with the Vice option. It isn’t technically American (but these days only slightly more socialist) but it turns out their build is actually beefier than the others I was considering. My truck will have a “top hat” from America’s hat

    Front bumper options (chicom pig iron need not apply)?

    While you guys are being so kind to give some ideas, I do plan to throw in a winch at the same time. A couple of the options (chassis unlimited and Vice above) will include or sell one with it, in both instances the Warn Evo, which is made in china. It looks like pretty much every other Warn...

    Front bumper options (chicom pig iron need not apply)?

    I like the looks of it - just wondering about the material used. Gauge isn't specified and the only photo that gives an idea looks to be on the thinner side...

    Front bumper options (chicom pig iron need not apply)?

    Had a deer run out doing 55. Credit to the Ram, my kids didn’t even know it happened - but the bumper and grill were toast (along with the radiator). Asked the body shop to put on an aftermarket front bumper from Chassis Unlimited made in America. They said ok. After the work starts, for...

    How to: Add Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane assist, FCW & Auto Hi-beam to Ram 1500

    Saw a post elsewhere (another forum) and trying to understand without going through 62 pages. 2021 Laramie, came from the factory with FCW. Other forum indicated that is the same camera needed for ACC. If you have the camera are other parts needed to enable ACC apart from the wheel mounted...

    Mislabeled UCA from skyjacker? HELP?

    Is this possible? They are labeled with stickers (one of which was upside down). Put on the driver’s side and it didn’t look right Compared to stock: Which compared to the other side: Note also the location of the bracket for the ABS line. Is it possible skyjacker is making these with the...

    Diff Covers - Banks

    Strike that. I think I was mistaken (it seems they do for older generations, and the HD models, but not 5G 1500s). It looks like my options are B&M or aFe Power. If I am buying the Banks argument, it would seem that B&M is a better option?

    Critique my level(ish) plans

    Stuck with my suspension plans as stated above (bilstein 6112 up front, 5100 in the rear) and Cooper at3 in 275/65r20. Added the skyjacker UCA (I saw a cut away comparison on the delta joint and decided the marketing department wasn't worth the cost). And swapped the timbren bags for airlift...

    Diff Covers - Banks

    Other option I'm looking at is: https://www.holley.com/products/drivetrain/rear_axle_and_differential/differential_covers/parts/11306 And, I'm scratching my head with "what is a load bolt, and is it of any benefit?" I have the anti-spin rear axle to the extent it makes a difference.

    Diff Covers - Banks

    If my review of search results is accurate, this may be a can of worms, but I was looking at swapping the diff cover when I upgrade to a Hellwig sway bar. I have no idea if Banks is credible, but I saw a few posts indicated [essentially] it doesn't matter because he doesn't make one for Ram...

    Critique my level(ish) plans

    Here is where I am at right now for parts. I can't believe it, but Amazon is cheaper than literally everywhere else (AT, Summit, shocksurplus, tire rack, and piecing it on eBay). I just need to figure out the UCA (kind of looking at skyjacker. Icon delta, which I want, will put me over 4k and...

    Critique my level(ish) plans

    oh, and Geissele SSA-E and SD3 are my general go-to depending on application (outside of HK91/3/4 I don't like cassette triggers, but I'll throw a Timney in those every time I get one - swapping my -91 to a Timney made it a vastly superior experience)
