    UPDATE - My lower control arms have been replaced very much to my satisfaction! Huge shout outs to @RamCares, Carrie at RAM/Stellantis, and Quirk CDJR in Marshfield MA. After a couple discussions, it was decided that my control arms would be replaced under warranty with just a $250 deductible...

    Yes it is. I should clarify... the truck can be impounded or towed, but that doesn't necessarily happen often. You will definitely get a ticket if you're pulled over and all the hassles that come with it.

    Massachusetts has annual inspections, they put your vehicle up on a lift, the whole deal. Apparently there's enough play in the front wheels for it to get rejected. Maybe it would pass in it's current condition, maybe it won't, honestly. Could the local garage think it's no big deal and pass...

    I don't think there are different specs for Rebels... TRX's have a different spec, though. See the pics in post #42...

    Quick update. Spoke to a representative at Stellantis/RAM this morning, set up by @RamCares, and we discussed the issue in total. I was impressed by how thorough they were in trying to understand all the details... very professional and genuinely seemed like they wanted to help (not just some...

    Well that sucks. Gonna be a lot of people upset by this I think in the years to come... you and I are among the first.

    Wow... it actually says replace the lower control arm. That's just insane. Damn... guess I know what I need to do.

    @Cbty2050... weren't you the guy that helped parse what was going on with G/T's and their exhausts from the factory? What parts were which, etc? Any chance you could check into this Ball Joint thing, that the only way to get ball joints replaced is with an entire control arm replacement? You...

    This is what I've been told as well... some play is built in. Any idea how much play is "within spec" or how they measure that? Just curious.

    Really hope these work out great for you, because it's probably the root I have to take as well. Any chance you can post a pic of how they look on your truck?

    Point taken about the supplier. It's a good point actually. Hoping that a press in Ball Joint becomes known. Mevotech will be the way to go for sure if there's no other way. Really excited to see how they work out for Jeff. Just so everyone is aware... the OEM control arms are $750 each...

    Off road ride quality (2019 limited 4x4)

    Don't think you can fit 17's on a DT 1500... the brakes and calipers are too big.

    I have been in contact with RamCares, they followed up looking for additional info which I provided. Hoping for a response soon. Just for clarification, I didn't check myself. I had a tire shop and the dealer both tell me it was an issue... the tire shop refusing to do an alignment as a...

    No... none. No discernable evidence of an issue while driving. However, I am told that the truck will not pass the MA State Inspection, which for me is in August. If it doesn't pass inspection it effectively takes my truck off the road. I'm hoping between now and August, something somewhere...

    After looking closer at my pics, I went out and cleaned off the area. There's a stamping that says W 2019 and some kind of symbol... I hope someone can ID it.
