    Vararam Air intake

    Don't know if it's the different grilles, but on my Rebel the shutters absolutely blocked airflow to the scoop, especially since I left my shroud on to also keep the RAM lettering. Behind my grille there's a plastic insert everywhere except the central portion, so most of the airflow comes...

    Vararam Air intake

    I've had a mine a few years. Had to cut my engine bay shroud a bit to get it to fit, and I removed the top 3 slats from the Active Grill Shutter so air could constantly flow into it. It looks good, but the water catch underneath has torn off since it was just rubber held on with a couple plastic...

    Pole Barns and lifts

    Extremely jealous... If it's going to hail I have to move crap out of my garage just to cram the truck in there. Otherwise it's in the driveway 24/7 whether I'm working on it or not.

    Pole Barns and lifts

    Don't have a pole barn like you're looking for, but I do have a QuickJack lift system big enough for the truck. It's nice for large work/repairs/maintenance, but the jacks are so heavy they're not great for everyday stuff. You don't want to drive over them, so you have to get them out of the way...

    Stake hole tie downs search

    I bought Bullring tie downs for both front and rear. They have a kit that accounts for the difference in the plastic, although you'll have to cut a bit. Looks like they've been acquired by speedstrap, so that link above go to mine. Make sure you get the proper year.

    Spare Tire Advice..what are most doing when running bigger tires?

    Agreed. Think I got a Nexan or something like that from Discount Tire when I bought my Discoverers.

    Spare Tire Advice..what are most doing when running bigger tires?

    When I moved to 295/70R18's I bought the cheapest AT tire in the same size, had them mount it to spare wheel, then crammed it up under the bed. It'll fit if you jam it in and maybe kick it a bit. I didn't remove the heat shields, but if I go to 35x12.5 I'll probably have to and maybe grind the...

    Low tire alert, check engine light

    Without the code that goes with the CEL you're not going to get any answers.

    4 inch bds air ride lift garage

    It's one of those where I KNOW it'll fit in the garage, but I'm always nervous when I move it in there.

    4 inch bds air ride lift garage

    I barely fit in my 7 foot garage with a 3" lift and 35's. The shark fin is REALLY close. I won't go in any public garage under 7'3" just to make sure I'm safe.

    Are you happy with your Ram??

    The VK56 is freaking bullet proof. I loved that engine even though I only got 13mpg. With headers, exhaust, tune it pulled that 6000 pound truck harder at 160k miles than the Hemi does in the Ram. I doubt Nissan will ever get back into the full size truck market. They may try to make the...

    Are you happy with your Ram??

    Happy as I can be with a truck I didn't really want to get. I loved my Titan, but I needed a full size back seat for kids. Bought it new with 40 miles on it Feb 2020 right before COVID hit. It was the best priced, best optioned, best looking truck on the market at the time. Nissan was the same...

    Addon lighting

    I drilled into the steel for my light bar up top, then I used the Rough Country brackets for behind the lower grill.

    I've come here to kick some .... tires!

    I have 1500 pounds of payload. If I put 500 pounds (my motorcycle) in the bed stock I was already level with the 2" rake Rebels come with. Yeah lifting the front end reduces your rake, but the stock suspension is not meant to handle anywhere near full payload and not squat.

    Can/should I?

    Just remember anything added to the truck from OEM (springs/airbags, heavier tires, etc) reduces payload. I've towed near that weight with my Hemi before, and while it wasn't at the elevation you are, it didn't have an issue.

    Can/should I?

    With a good WDH setup you should be fine. Titan XD gasser is nice, but you'll enjoy the Ram far more if it's a daily driver. My dad has a 2022 XD Pro4X gas. The VK56 is a hell of an engine (I replaced a 2008 Titan with my Ram), but the comforts, driveability, and overall niceness of the Ram...

    After Market Wheel Fitment

    If the 2019 Rebel has them they'll fit. Just be careful of the weight placement.

    anyone got an idiot's guide to suspension? 2020 Rebel (not air suspension)

    Most likely they have not completely verified fitment on the Rebel, so they will say it doesn't fit. Suspension between the Rebel and other trims is the same, just with the lifted coils. TRX is a completely different suspension setup.

    Do I need to replace headlight housing with LED upgrade?

    Halogen housings are not meant for LED bulbs. Doesn't matter how well you aim them, you will still throw light everywhere. Do the right thing, get LED housings.

    Pedal commander pros/cons/problems

    Not saying the Banks isn't a better product, but I've been running the PC like Cheyenne for years. Only time I've had issues or heard of others having issues is when they try to change drive mode while the truck is in Drive. Is it less safe? Probably. Is it mitigated by being smart about when...
