    Automatic running boards

    If they are AMP boards, just keep a foot on the board with some downward pressure and it stays down. You will feel a little bump after closing the doors and it stays down. It is apart of their "check for functions" when installing, also a great way to park if you can't find a big enough space...

    RPM 956 LED Bulbs

    I have their LED for the 3rd brake light. Can't say for the heads or tails, but the ones for the 3rd brake is great and doesn't have any issues.

    BDS Lift kit questions/Advice

    I don't have BDS to be able to speak on that, but I have the 6in Zone lift. I ditched the preload that it came with recently and put in a set of 5100s in the front instead. The ride is great, was not bad before by any means. Just an option, while not as "good" as a BDS lift, I have had Zone...

    What’s the verdict?

    I have those wheels in a +1 offset, they poke very slightly with 35x12.5. can't really help with the rubbing since the truck is lifted

    Zone Offroad Lift Kits?

    I cleared 35s on a 20x9 at +1, and have very little rubbing when adding 2 in spacers making it roughly -50 offset only at full lock in reverse.

    Zone Offroad Lift Kits?

    I have the Zone and have no issues with it. I had a Zone on another truck before this and had no issues with that one either. The wait time for me was due to backordered knuckles. I can't speak for RC, but from most shops I called, they recommended against RC. I'm sure each company has its...

    Locator holes behind tailgate badges??

    +1 on what Trooper said. The Ram head is held into place with tape and clips. The others are tape. If you have the rebel, I read that the "RAM" letters are clips as well.

    What's the going price for Power Side Steps? Also, any Con's?

    I got my AMP boards off a local sale/trade for 450. The install was done in the drive way and took maybe an hour or so, more time was spent cleaning up the wiring. I know some local shops will install for "free" at the purchase price of 14XX. Hope that helps cost comparison wise.

    4 inch Zone Suspension Lift

    I have a Zone with upgraded shocks as well on this truck as well as on another truck in the past. No serious off-roading, but does well in the back roads during hunting seasons. The other truck had the lift for 30K miles before selling and currently the Ram has 10K with the lift and no issues...

    Best place to buy blacked out ram badges

    +1 for Ebay. Some offer non-OEM, but for a few bucks more you can get the OEM and not risk any issues IMO.

    Blendmount for 2019 1500

    Its def worth a shot. I had to mount the part going over the stem of the mirror backwards and then adjust the way the bottom pieces stacked together to get the fit i needed.

    Blendmount for 2019 1500

    If you have an existing one, you can always try to adjust the way it fits. I removed the one from my M4 when I traded it and had to take it apart and reassemble it completely different but it fits. Not as flush, but works great without having to replace and rebuy.

    Help me understand...

    I have driven to the next state(2 hr) for a car before a long time ago due to a 3k difference. My RAM was bought instate, but I do go to a dealer 45mins away for all service needs just due to the fact they have a great track record, reviews, and recommendations.

    Anyone use this bull bar?

    Not from what I've been able to find. There is a guy on here from AZ that is currently making rock sliders, he asked for ideas and I did mention it to him as a side/next project. He said it wouldnt be too hard to make one to fit, but not sure if its on his list. I messaged N-fab and they have...

    What exhaust to get?

    I removed my OEM exhaust with just a floor jack. I lifted it on the back drivers side to get the complete pipe section weaved through. I think if you took the spare and shield off it would be easier, but it is doable without as well.
