    Track Armor - To Use or Not To Use?

    Largest Tire on 2019 Ram 1500 with Off Road Package?

    I have 285/65-18 with a 2" front level. Pretty sure I would have no issues without the level. Truck came with 275/65-18 so they are barely any larger. There will always be a slight variability on actual measured size between manufactures and tire types.

    Wind noise

    Just the front two doors, I highlighted where I put it, just stuffed it behind the current door seal/weather strip. A new seal or door adjustment might fix it as well but this was the easiest/cheapest option. I only had an issue on drives door but still did both.

    Wind noise

    On rare occasions I had the morse code noise in windy conditions. I am out of factory warranty and was not going to pay the dealer especially with the feedback from this thread. Added 3/8" backer rod weather stripping behind the weather stripping on door. No more noise and we have had some...
