2020 Laramie Night Edition build

[aimlowrobin]

Decided to take advantage of great deals and incentives last month and upgrade my 2019 Bighorn to a 2020 Laramie. Loved my 19, and I only had for 18 months and 50k miles, but was after a more luxury interior and ramboxes. Previous to my 19, I had a 16 with leather and ramboxes and I was missing both those a lot (especially the ramboxes).

Mods so far:
- LED bulbs for 3rd brake bedlights (HIGHLY recommend!)
- LED cubes under back bumper, wired into bedlight switch. Come on with bedlights and approach lights.
- BDS 6" lift
- Fuel Vapor wheels with DDT, 20x10, -18 o/s
- Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ p3 tires, 35x12.50
- Magnaflow 40 series muffler

Upcoming:
- Tyger Auto Bull bar
- 10 inch light bar and 2 cubes on bull bar
- Rear wheel well liners
- Front window tint to match backs
- possible muffler change, or resonator delete

Thanks!

Rear cubes under bumper. Wired into rear cargo light wire. Comes in with cargo light switch, when doors open, approach lights come on, etc.

Rear wheel well liners. Even though I paid for the dealer to order and install...they couldn't figure out that the same part numbers work for trucks with and without ramboxes. Bought from Rock auto and installed myself. Saved a couple hundred bucks.

Bull bar from Tyger Automotive with 10 inch bar and 2 cubs.

Added blue led accents behind the grill. Wired to the fuse box to be on any time the truck is running.

Linex bedliner installed.

Well, I actually just installed another on a new truck just last week. On the truck in this thread, I ended up with a 12inch rough country bar with 2 cubes (the original was stolen).

On my new truck I went with the 20in RC black, w/ drl. It barely fit.

I've installed 3 of these bull bars now. I don't take off the lower plastic deflector as instructions say. Way too many bolts to mess with. So I did the cut outs in place using a multi tool. Trick is to not be scared, lol. The body bolts are a ***** to get off (1 per side). Just find the right wrench position that you can give it all you got and they will give eventually.

When you did the BDS Lift, Did that include upper control arms? I did the Rough Country upper control arms to get rid of the OEM Plastic control arms.

What Led Bulbs would you recommend for the Third Break Light?

Will you do the front sensor extension cable to move the sensors when you do the bull bar?

I just posted a link to the bulbs I use in my newest build thread here: Thread '2021 Limited Night Edition build' https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2021-limited-night-edition-build.32469/

Yes, the bull bar does block the two front middle sensors. I don't use those much, if at all, so I just turn the alarm switch off. The 2 outside corner sensors are still useful when parking if desired, you can turn the switch back in and visually see the distances on the screen.
