1st truck - what should I do?

[Fitnessjeff]

Just traded in my 2012 challenger srt for a 2020 limited. 3.92, 5.7 etorque. Full loaded excluding PANO.
Love it so far and the sound but a few things I’m interested, want to do, and could use some recommendations or pointed in the right directions?

I really like the rebel rims/tires, from my understanding I could buy them and put them right into my limited with no problems?

needing atruck bed cover and interested in either a rollup or retractable?

anything I should look into adding for the engine? Air filter? Pedal commander?

What lift or leveling kit is recommended for 2-3 inch / on the air suspension?

I'm not big into mods but I would get those beautiful painted bumpers protected but then again my OCD weighs very heavy on me.

1st thing I would do is see if you were eligible for the "Bonus Drive" rebate...

 

[Fitnessjeff]

Forgot to mention. Don’t want to do anything that voids warranty or coverage as I have lifetime protection

Is that the cash back bonus?

This is correct. You can use any wheels from any other 5th gen Ram 1500. 4th gen or earlier Ram 1500 wheels will not fit.

I have the Truxedo Pro roll up bed cover and I love it. The only issue with it is security. As with any soft cover, it could easily be broken into. So if security is an issue for you you'll want to look into a cover made from a harder material. I'm not really concerned about security so this cover works great for me.

You'll get conflicting claims about this, but IMO an intake or aftermarket filter is a waste of money, and can actually cause harm. Stick with the stock intake and paper filter, and spend your money on an exhaust instead. I would also recommend some brand of throttle controller, such as Pedal Commander. Doesn't add a lick of power, but it sure feels like it does.

What lift or leveling kit is recommended for 2-3 inch / on the air suspension?

I would recommend adjustable links for your air suspension. Here is just one example of those...

2019 RAM 1500 Air Ride Suspension Adjustable Sensor Links

These easy-to-install kits quickly replace the stock sensor arms to Billet Aluminum Fully Adjustable Sensor Links. With these links you can safely adjust the stock ride height by 2.5".

But keep in mind that the higher your air suspension raises, the worse the ride will be.

No, buy the Mopar splash guards as they look much better!

The first things I would do to the truck is---

Clear bra the front, fenders, hood
Peddle commander
S&B intake
Bed cover
Ceramic coat intire truck

What I bought for my first truck was. Mud flaps. Husky floor mats. Uh 2” front level. Bed linear. Congrats on the new truck.

How do you feel about a bed step and side steps?

Went with husky mats and flaps.

for bed cover, dont rule out tri folds too for more security. They are bit pricier. This is my first truck too after having many cars over the years. All my mods seem to be mods that increase the trucks practicality. I changed the bins in the floor of the cab to ones with lockable lids. Tuffy makes them. Added the bed utility group for more tie down points in the bed. I have the Extang Trifold Solid 2.0 for bed cover. Hardwired a dash cam like I do in all my vehicles

No I don't think those would be the ones I would get unless they redesigned them..... unless you want ones that hold a pocket of dirt and rocks in them...

Installed mopar Off-Road RAM running boards today along with Mopar Splash Guards. Really love the running boards, but the splash guards really have a design flaw. The splash guards fit the curves of the truck well but have a large gap between the fender liner and the splash guard. This causes the guards to collect about 10 pounds of sand and ice each during snow storms. Don't know how Mopar could completely miss this during design. Nice product with a disastrous design flaw. Would recommend weathertech.

No, buy the Mopar splash guards as they look much better!

Not sure what the MOPAR ones look like but I think the Weathertech look and work fine.

I’m picking up my Limited this weekend, first mod I’m doing is getting PPF on the front fender, grille, hood, and rocker panels.
