    Ranch toppers

    Here you go, with my lift (see sig) I have about 3 inches before I hit, and I'm 6'2".

    Ranch toppers

    I got a Ranch Fusion on for the last 8 months with no complaints. I saw it next to Leer and the sales guy said there is really no difference except for price and I couldn't find a reason to spend ~$500 more for similar options.

    BDS ball joint gives way... What a mess.

    I have the same BDS and Fox combo on my Ram as well, really hope this is a one off occurrence. Glad no one was hurt.

    Who parks in the Garage?

    I have this exact situation and pool noodles cut in half and or squishy floor mats/camping mats on the front wall would be smart. Then I have found it most consistent when I turn on the rear camera and creep in the garage until I see a sliver of the step up into the garage, has worked 100% of...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I would wait and see what the results of the TSB are, plus it's winter so it'll be hard to compare results to the dozens of people who have posted vent temps when it's 90F+ outside. If the AC cooling isn't really bothering you I'd wait until end of next Summer to look for performance of the TSB...

    How screwed am I?

    If you can post the payload from your door sticker that'll be helpful, if its truly fully loaded on options you could be overloaded just you as driver, the WDH and 1,100lbs on the hitch, everything else empty and no mods.

    Off road package without upgraded shocks?

    Go to this site and enter your VIN: https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing My 2020 ORP truck lists this under the optional equipment section, I would assume yours had it as well: Front Extra HD Shock Absorbers Rear Extra HD Shock Absorbers Spring - Left Front Spring - Left...

    Who parks in the Garage?

    My short bed crew cab fits with about 2in to spare in the front and back. I have the tennis ball but I realized it wasnt perfect every time. The best way to get within an inch every time was to turn on the rear camera and drive in, and when I see the little step up to the garage appear, then...

    Clayton Offroad 2.5" Jeep Gladiator Springs on 2020 Rebel

    Sure, I can take some pictures this weekend. In the meantime I got weighed on a CAT scale: Weight is for the 2020 truck in signature, has 1253lbs in payload on sticker. The MFT is 75lbs and bed utility ~25lbs or so, so if you do not have those options, then that plus the spare 35 I have in the...

    Extension doesn't fit in spare tire winch

    To close out this post for anyone who may come across it in the future... I stopped by a dealer (not my selling dealer fyi) and asked them to look at this for me. It took a few techs and 10 minutes but in the end the dealer who sold this truck installed a lock. So sure enough there is a short...

    Thinking of adding OEM style Painted Flares

    The OEM flares rely on holes in the fenders which the Big Horn doesn't have, so just pay attention that what you order will fit on the Big Horn and you should be good. Incredible job with the spray can, my projects don't turn out like that!

    BorgWarner 48-11 - chain or clutch pack

    Yes it is a clutch, here is a thread on the subject with some great videos that @AnthonyD1978 made https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/overheating-the-4x4-system.16612/

    Biggest Spare Tire that Fits?

    Thank you for the picture that is helpful, on second look maybe it's because you have the longer bed that you gain more room to the hitch. I have an issue where my spare tire winch seems to be missing a piece from the factory so I haven't been able to test fit yet.

    What are these 4 bolts on front of frame for?

    Here is a thread from a few weeks ago where a few folks posted front skid plates they had made themselves or by local fab shops if you want some ideas! https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/front-skid-plate.21724/

    What are these 4 bolts on front of frame for?

    I believe it's the mounting location for the front automatic air dam. Since you have a rebel it wouldn't have been installed. This video shows it being removed at about 0:45
