    Hellwig sway bar and towing

    Got the Hellwig today from American Trucks. Install took about 40 minutes. Easy deal to mount. Actually used the stock bolts to bolt to the frame (same size and length) as I didn't have access to my hex sockets to use the supplied socket head bolts. Thanks for the info.

    Hellwig sway bar and towing

    Agree on the tires. The oem Goodyears on my 2017 were horrible. I replaced them with BF Goodrich KO2's and made a world of difference. I canned the oem tires on the 2022 and replaced with the 275/60-20 KO2's. I do play with the pressure on the truck when towing.

    Hellwig sway bar and towing

    It could actually be some slight yaw induced by some wind. The large, deep V is nice for some storage but really messes a bit with the aerodynamics imo.

    Hellwig sway bar and towing

    I have a 2022 Laramie Sport. I'm considering a Hellwig sway bar in the rear for a few reasons (body roll and slight trailer sway). For input for those those that have a Hellwig sway bar to see if it makes any difference while towing. I understand what the purpose of the sway bar is but some of...

    Start of 2022 Production.

    I take it BS is build sheet, WS is Window Sticker? If in WS status does that mean the truck is built and awaiting transport? Thanks.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My order date on the second vehicle was 05/21/22, the date the POC was printed was 06/07/22 and forwarded to me. The original red truck was ordered Thursday, 04/27/22 and and realized the mistake with omission of the anti spin on Friday 04/29/22. They waited almost a month to place the corrected...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I ordered a Laramie Sport at the end of April, 2022. Dealer forgot to include the anti spin that I wanted. Said he could add it or would put in a new order if he couldn't add it. At this point (3 days after I placed the order) I asked if I could switch from flame red to silver. He said he would...

    Tire's related to towing

    I have never had an issue with the KO2's until around the 40,000 mile mark. Then they are a bit hard and slippery. By 40,000 miles I am looking for a new set on tires like that. I personally wouldn't want to tow much except a light trailer with 4 ply tires. My KO's are 8 ply and D rated.

    Tire's related to towing

    I have run KO2's for years (275/60-R20) and have had great results. Only negative is mine have gotten noisy around 25,000 to 30,000 mile mark. That is with regular rotation. Still, I would continue to use them again. With that said, I have been seeing a lot of Falkens lately. Everyone I talk to...

    Is going through the dealer the only way to get the dates and status of the truck and build (vin #, build sheet etc)?

    Question for those buying from MD. I take it you are selling your vehicles outright (private sales)? No trade in with the prices MD is giving?

    I have run two sets of 8 ply, D rated 275/60R20 KO2’s and they have been great for towing.

    3:21 vs 3:92 Gears

    In 2013, I ordered my first Ram Sport. I ordered it with 3.55 gears. They were a nice medium but for some odd reason they stopped the 3.55's with the Hemi a year later. Tried to order my 17 with them and no go with the 5.7. The 3.21's have worked fine hauling an enclosed 7x12 trailer with my...
