    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?

    Help deciding, need opinions on wheel color

    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?

    I've got a dumb question but I have to ask. Is it safe to use 4WAuto in the new Ram right away? I've got 150 miles on the new truck and with all the snow 4WAuto would be helpful. Just don't want to F anything up from the start. Any feedback is appreciated.

    Anyone running Carli Suspension?

    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...

In looking for something a little different than Fuel, XD or Moto, I came across Lock Off -Road wheels. Just wondering if anyone is running a set or looked into...

    I know this isn't the smartest thing to ask and I may get ribbed pretty good. However, I have 22" rims that came stock and been thinking of going to a 20" rim. 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...

    Fox DSC favorite settings?

    I may take out my Icon Stage 2 kit and go to a Fox PE w/DSC set up. The Icons are great but I've decided to stay on pavement 95% of the time. Just looking to have some adjustability if/when needed while keeping a softer road ride. The question for everyone is, what is your favorite on road...
