Happy New Year! Saw this giant, old oak tree and had an impromptu photo shoot with my new 2022 BH Night Edition (Granite Crystal Metallic paint). Thought I'd share 🛻 Thinking about leveling my truck... don't do off-roading so I'd just need spacers, right? Any suggestions?

beautiful truck. I’m looking to add these running boards to my truck, but having trouble finding them on the mopar site. Any information that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey there! Thanks! These running boards came with my truck...I think they're standard on Night Edition trucks. Maybe you want to check with your local dealership for part number?

Haven't done too much to my truck lately beside add black mopar running boards and a license plate reverse light. Only chrome remaining on the truck are the wheels and exhaust tips.

Really like the LED license plate backup light bar. Backup camera on my 2022 Ram Laramie is dark at night in my opinion. Do you have wiring diagram for hooking into reverse lights?

Hey z0n3 - Couple questions as my 2022 Laramie looks exactly like yours.
1) Exactly which Mopar running boards are these? I see three options, one being over $1K, and the other two look to be the same except for gloss vs matt black.
2) On the backup light bar, did you have to lower the license plate holes in order to miss the tailgate when open?

Thanks

Actually pretty solid. It felt maybe a bit too firm when I first put the tires on but after about 500 miles it started to feel a lot better to me. It’s obviously not stock, but I’m very happy that it still rides as smooth as it does.

I imagine you got a few more miles on these since this thread lol. Probably a lot more used to them now. How would you rate the ride quality at this point? Still happy with them? I have a 2023 on order and was thinking about trying to squeeze the recons (305/55/22) with the daystar level. Looks like they come in a SL on that size. If not likely going with the 285/55/22.

Just discovered this thread. Picked up this beauty two months ago. Love the Granite Crystal! Hides the dirt very well. Almost got a black one, but my wife drives a murdered-out Jeep GC...figured we didn't need two black vehicles. Very happy I went with the grey. Absolutely in love with this thing! Added 275/60/20 (33") tires, 2" Motofab level, running boards, tint, and grey decals on the hood badge and grille.

Nice truck, mine is very similar. I am looking to level mine as well and have been looking at the Motofab. Did you install the front and rear full kit, or the 2.0" leveling lift kit to the front? Most importantly to me, how did affect the ride quality. Thanks!

I was looking at the new 2023 models on ramtrucks.com and it looks like Granite Crystal Metallic is no longer available on the 1500. Glad I got mine when I did!

I traded in my 2019 GCM BigHorn for a 2022 Laramie in Patriot Blue a couple of months ango and have regretted it ever since!

The blue is just OK, but I loved the GCM! The blue looks good in certain lighting conditions, and almost aqua green in others……not a huge fan!!

Plus, it’s impossible to keep clean, and it shows any imperfections like surface scratches, swirls, etc.
