    Engine Bay Air Compressor Mount?

    I removed the plastic air box mount bracket and took that to a local fab shop along with the ARB mounting template. They were able to make a bracket for the dual compressor that used the same mounting holes and bolts in the body of the truck as the stock air box bracket. I no longer have that...

    Low Profile Winch Bumper (EcoDiesel Compatible)

    Not generally. It won’t take as much abuse as steel would. That said, I’m not rock crawling my truck and slamming the full weight of the truck on rocks repeatedly. For me, it’s more about protecting from incidental stuff on the trail. The occasional rock scrape/slide, rubbing a tree, nudging...

    CARLI SUSPENSION 2.5" suspension system

    Depends on your current kit. The Carli kit stays about stock height in the rear and lifts the front about 2 inches. I didn’t need to trim at all to fit 35’s, though I did remove those mini mud flap things and go in with a heat gun and reshape some plastic on the wheel liner (heat gun and wet...

    Low Profile Winch Bumper (EcoDiesel Compatible)

    I’d love to see something like this in aluminum. I’m interested in an aftermarket bumper, but I don’t want to add the weight of a full steel one.

    What do want to see made for the 5th Gen Ram 1500???

    I ended up getting the RamAir intake and putting the compressor where the stock intake was. There are other options for locating it though (floor bins, frame rails, engine bay, Ram box, etc).

    What do want to see made for the 5th Gen Ram 1500???

    ARB dual compressor mount. It was a hassle getting something custom made. I would have liked something off the shelf.

    ARB Twin Compressor Mounting Solution

    I got the RamAir intake which freed up all the space where the air box was. Used the stock air box mount as a template to have a custom bracket made up to hold the compressor where the air box was.

    CARLI SUSPENSION 2.5" suspension system

    The HD coil is really nice so far. My truck sagged in the rear just a bit with the normal Rebel coils (I have RamBox and MFT). These springs resolved that and made the truck sit much better when loaded with my camping gear as well.

    CARLI SUSPENSION 2.5" suspension system

    The King shocks in the Carli suspension kit are custom valved for the kit. How that compares to stock valving on King shocks, I can’t say, as I’ve never felt them. I just had my truck on some rutted out and washboard forest roads this weekend. I love the way this suspension handles them. My...

    Carli Performance with Timber Grove airbags

    I don’t have any information beyond what can be found here: https://carlisuspension.com/2019-ram-1500-rebel/ The article isnt clear to me whether they are saying the +1 inch standard Rebel springs or the HD springs are shipping in May/June timeframe.

    Carli Performance with Timber Grove airbags

    The HD springs (+500lb static weight) are supposed to be coming soon too. I don’t know when, but that sounds like the Carli solution for the added weight of the cap, depending on what else you’re carrying.

    Is the front and rear travel numbers listed anywhere

    I believe in the front there is a total of 9 inches of travel. That’s inclusive of up and down travel. Stock, I understand that it’s basically in the center of that travel when sitting on the flat street, resulting in roughly 4.5” up and 4.5” down available. Lifting the truck would reduce...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I didn’t need to modify the truck at all. Everything was there. Just screw in the bolts. Truck already had threaded holes for them.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Yes, it works with the MFT without issue.

    B.U.G., bed utility group, bed rail accessories?

    If you are asking about the bed divider/extender that comes with the RamBox BUG trucks, it doesn’t interfere with tonneau covers at all. It locks into indentations on the side of the bed. It doesn’t touch the utility rails.

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    I swapped the polarity on mine when installing and it drove me nuts. The drone was obnoxious, particularly with MDS active. It would pulse in time with the exhaust sounds in a way that was almost physically uncomfortable to my ears. I pulled the pins on the microphones for the ANC to disable...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Is anybody making prebuilt harnesses available to add this to the rear doors of a truck that already has passive entry on the front doors?

    CARLI SUSPENSION 2.5" suspension system

    I believe they are going to recommend the upcoming HD springs for the fully optioned Rebel. Thats my truck in the article. The stance is much improved with the taller rear springs, but I am looking forward to the HD springs. I’m hoping it will help with the extra weight when I go camping as well.

    Carli Performance 2.5" Install and First Impressions

    What size tires did you opt for?

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    I’ve made it through many pages of this thread and haven’t found what I’m looking for. I’m interested in adding passive entry to the rear doors on my truck. It’s already equipped with passive entry on the front. Is there a post somewhere in here that details how to tap in and wire this up for...
