    Spare tire question

    I did not want to have a 2" diameter tire difference when I changed tire sizes. Like I said, the 295/70R18 is basically the same size tire as the size @acitalianman13 is getting. If he wants to stick with an 18" spare wheel use that size. Or get a fifth 22" wheel for the spare. Either size tire...

    Spare tire question

    That size tire will fit. It's roughly the same as my 295/70R18. You have to jam it in there, but it'll work. I didn't remove my heat shields.

    Spare Tire TPMS

    34-34.5" is about the largest you can fit in the spare tire location without removing the heat shields. I have a 295/70R18 spare, and I have to wedge it in there to get it to fit. Depending on your math, my tire is 34.1-34.5" in diameter.

    Duratracs getting loud?

    Had the same issue with the Duratracs getting loud. Ran them for 52k miles before swapping. Went to Cooper Discoverers, super quiet and great life on them so far. I reduced the pressures to 50 front, 40 rear, and they've been great. 21k miles on them now.

    Tire clearance

    You should have a 3" lift with the 2R coilovers which will clear 35's.

    TO HEMI or not to hemi ?

    Assuming your fully loaded bass boat is under 5000 pounds, the Pentastar would have no issues towing it. Obviously the Hurricane and Hemi will tow it more easily, but the Pentastar won't struggle.

    Leaf Collection

    Pressure washer does the trick. That piece that captures all the trash is not as wide as the bed, so it'll fall down the sides.

    Backed into concrete wall with hitch installed is my frame or hitch ok? 5mph

    Roughly the same amount of force as you slamming on the brakes with a 6000 pound trailer behind you and dropping ~10 mph extremely quickly. Truck and trailer hitch are meant to handle it.

    3" lift

    Man has a 2WD truck he never takes off road. Get Bilstein 5100's, OEM Ram ORG springs (1" taller), and rough country UCA's. Depending on how long you want to wait I may have my OEM springs off the truck cause I'm moving to Eibach soon.

    Google Maps Satellite View

    I thought it was AA and not Uconnect? As much as I love my phone and hate having to use my work iPhone, I cannot stand how crappy AA is.

    It's Over

    It makes sense. Full EV trucks just aren't useful as anything other than large cars, and even then the range isn't as good as other cars/SUV's for the price point. Hopefully this lets them focus more on the Ramcharger/new REV and get it out the door.

    Suggestions on lift kit to replace my spacers

    They don't even list the 2R for the RAM anymore on their site, for either Rebel or non-Rebel. Or at least I'm just too dumb to find it.

    Suggestions on lift kit to replace my spacers

    Website says +0.3", so that's over the OEM Rebel 1". You'll have 1-1.3" over a non-ORG truck.

    Suggestions on lift kit to replace my spacers

    Eibach Stage 2 is my next set of springs to keep my 3/2 lift. You don't need the 2R, there's no point if you're not running the shocks hard off-road.

    The Hemi is back! 2026 trucks being shipped with 5.7L Hemi

    Unless they've done anything significant it's most likely the change they made in 21 or 22 when they removed the cat from the straight pipe before the muffler. It's a direct fit for us earlier years. I have one on my truck. It does make a difference on start up and acceleration, but nothing in...
