    Excessive tire wear - from leveling?

    I bought my truck with 20,000 miles. Now has 74,000. Had the dealer install a 2" Readylift level at time of purchase. Replaced OEM tires with 285/60/20 BFG KO2's on at 30,000. Front end alignment done then. Front swaybar links have needed to be replaced twice since. Paid by dealer both times...

    Rattle sound in cooler temps

    Looking for ideas to cure my mystery rattle. My truck has what I can best describe as a rattling noise, or a very light clunking, that comes about when outside temps get down to about 40 degrees. Any little bump in the road will cause it. All summer long in warmer temps I never hear it. Its...

    ISO Black wheel skins for 20" Laramie wheels

    I have scoured the internet in search of black wheel skins, as I would like to see how I might like black wheels on my truck before buying new wheels. Has anyone been successful in finding these for my specific wheels? 2019 Laramie Sport 20" wheel, but not the wheels I see on Sport models now...

    Will Hellwig help roll from front leveling kit?

    Hi all, I had the dealer install a 2" Readylift leveling kit a week after taking delivery. That was a year and a half and 25,000 miles ago. Everything is still running and working great, but I feel like the truck has more body roll than it did before the leveling kit. In my mind that's because...

    Clay bar how often?

    Clay barred my truck last summer - first time ever doing that. Getting ready for a wax and I'd like to claybar again before waxing. Is that too soon? For those that clay bar, how frequently?

    Rear spacers or Air bags decision?

    I have a 2" front level to allow room for larger tires and because I didn't like how low to the ground the front was. It looks and drives great, except when I pull a medium to heavy load. When starting level it doesn't take much for the rear sag to make me nose high. I'm trying to decide between...

    What is this sound after turning vehicle off?

    I'm just curious - my truck makes an unusual sound about 30 seconds after I've turned it off and gotten out. Sounds "electronic" like something powering down. It seems to come from the back half of the vehicle, or maybe it's just resonating through the bed? Can anyone tell me about what this...

    OEM fender flares painted black?

    I have paint peeling off one fender flare (dealer says not covered under warranty) and some paint scrape on another from a small misdeed. These are Laramie factory flares. I am deciding weather to have them repainted to match the truck color as they are (granite crystal) or to have them...

    BFG KO2s getting louder?

    Looking for an expert's opinion. I put BFG KO2s on my truck in February. Have put about 5000 miles on them since. Size 285/60/20, running at 36 psi. The last couple of weeks I have a perception that they are giving off a little more road noise than they had previously. I am wondering - are they...

    BFG KO2 285/60/20 Tire Pressure

    Greetings. I recently replaced the stock tires with the larger bfg"s. Thinking about what tire pressure I should run. Door jam says 36 for stock tires. Dealer set new tires at 41. I emailed bf goodrich with this question. They gave me a disclaimer but said the manufacturer suggested psi for this...

    Mysterious rattle - Front sway bar links

    Sharing for the benefit of others. I recently had a rattle/light clunking that was difficult to describe. Difficult to determine where it was coming from. Only heard it on rough roads and railroad tracks. More than the sound, it was a sense of something was loose, like the whole cab. I was at...

    Firestone Destination XT reviews?

    Anyone in this group have any experience with the newer Firestone Destination XT or AT2? Like a lot of others I'm having a tough time deciding what tire I want to go with. Was leaning toward bfg ko2s, but now I'm unsure again. Might not want to look that "beefy". I've had a couple of sets of...

    Larger Firestone tires no TPMS?

    I will be replacing stock tires soon. Haven't decided on size yet, probably a 34 inch tire but uncertain on width. Considering the Firestone Destination XT so was on Firestone website last night. On the size selection page it asks if I have TPMS. For every size I selected in the above range it...

    275/20 vs 285/20

    Just bought my first Ram yesterday. Having 2" leveling kit installed by dealer. Was planning BFG All Terrain 285/20 but I've seen a couple of trucks with 275s, and they are a fair amount less expensive. Thoughts on which size I should choose?
