If I remember right, the hood deflector and level you put on your Ram, inspired what I did on mine!
I believe it's your truck that got me thinking about it!
So, I'm over 30,000 miles on the truck and I LOVE it.
But this is a bit ah.
This is ********.
I had my Last ram rebel for 36,000 miles on a lease and the seat was immaculate.
Thank you guys for your honest opinions.
I have 32,500 miles on the odometer, The A/C was pretty trash today in 100 degree heat, but pulling a whole dash out? Oof.
For more info, pictures and opinions?
Here's the teraflex falcon thread we've got going:

I was thinking about this as I was driving today. The falcons really do increase the stability (like when cornering).
I felt the factory bilstiens were fine, but the truck would "Wallow" if you had some successive bumps. It would also roll a bit in corners.
Between the Toyo AT3 tires (good...
I think that we're at the point where, our 1/2ton truck engines are more than powerful enough to pull the load.
When a load is just heavy but "small" or compact? It's a best case scenario.
Flat terrain? No semi trucks blowing by you? even better.
But, when the load isn't small and heavy, but is...
You could try running a set of Falcon Terraflex shocks.
Check out the payload knob.
You can run it in the "stock" setting to preserve rake, but, as the rear end starts to dip, depending on the load you have? You can dial up the rear shocks. This would prevent it from "porpoise-ing" under load...
I'm totally guilty of being a deputy of the Payload Police on this board, so allow me to take the brunt of this joke (and perhaps deservedly so) :ROFLMAO:
What's tough about the payload numbers on trucks? If we're willing to use even SMALL trailer? Lets say a 3,000lb load in a small 1,000lb trailer?
That 4,000lb is a chip-shot.
Your truck will barely notice it, if you goofed on the tongue weight and did 20% tongue weight and not 10%? That's...
I'm startin to think, maaaaaybe, it's tall enough just as it sits right now.
(This is a lie I'm telling myself)
The Toyo AT3s might look really pedestrian from the side? But from the front? They look beefy!
At some point, when I get around to dating again post-end-of-the-world here, I'll be doing what I did with the old Rebel.
Chuck in some couch cushions, use the bed divider as a backing! I believe those cushions are 48in Long.
Hmm.
When I got the magnaflow full system (IIRC it's their 22in muffler when I measured it) on my truck, I actually thought it was too quiet.
After 2 and a half years it's finally sounding right to my ears!
From what I can tell? I honestly do think the big magnaflow mufflers ARE the quietest...
Yikes!
I'm guessing there's a biiiig tongueweight problem there.
The reality is, if they have 400lbs of Gear in the back behind the rear seats, and they accidentally have 900lbs of tongueweight?
That's kinda more like 1,300lbs of tongueweight.
So with the silverados Chevy has been putting...
Good sir, I will disagree with the first part of this.
Yes, I think the leaf springs in the rear are better at load management than COIL springs, On that part I agree.
But the ram air suspension handles heavy loads in the rear better than basically every other factory setup - save for perhaps...
So the air suspension on that thing will level every damn pound of that doorsticker! It's a robust system. While I opted to get a spring suspension on the next Rebel (from my 2016 one), I had ZERO complaints about how well it levelled a load. Zero. It was amazing and darn near magic. On my 2016...
