    Fitcam and Radar detector install

    Looking to install a Fitcam and figured I'd hardwire a new radar detector at the same time. Should I just tie into the clip/wire used for the Fitcam to power the radar detector or is there a better way? Also, I noticed my charger on top of the dash is always on. If I'm not mistaken, can I...

    So i have the clunck

    Recent suspension mods have been great until now. Just developed a clunk when turning right. Seems to happen on sharper turns like turning into a street, parking space, etc. We put SuspensionMaxx end links on when we did the suspension. Could the clunck be the sway bar bushings?

    Car wash vs hood wind deflector. Who wins?

    Looking at adding a hood wind deflector since our Ram windshields are magnets for crap. I also use a car wash, mostly winter, and wondering if that will be an issue. Question is, are there any issues with hood deflectors cracking, chipping, coming loose, etc that happen when using a car wash?

    I'm looking at new wheels and torn on what color/finish to go with. Looking at either Black, Black w/dark tint, Dark Gray Black Lip or Bronze. I still have and like my 4Play wheels (black w/dark tint) but figured, new truck = new shoes. Based on the pics below, what color would you choose?

    Looking at the Carli Commuter suspension for the incoming new 24 Ram. Dealer paid up for my 23 Ram trade in with current Icon and Core 4x4 set up so time to start over. Once dialed in, the Icons were great! However, been there, done that. I have the 3" BDS w/Fox DCS Performance kit in a box...

Can I go to a 20" with no issue or are there some things/parts that need to be changed? Like hub or anything else? Again, I know it's a...

    Fox or Icon? Gauge interest.

    I have a Icon Stage 2 kit on my 23 Laramie 1500 now and they are great. Super nice and stay planted with no dive or roll. Also have the BDS 3" kit with Fox 2.5 DSC that I've been itching to try. First question, will it be worth going to the BDS/Fox set up vs the Icon? I want to have the...
