Lets See Your BackCountry Trim Trucks!!

Interesting. My seats do not seem to get very hot at all.
Did you ever own a Laramie or Limited with full leather seats? These in my BC get warmer than those. Plenty of -20 days over the years up here in WI and I never once thought my two Laramie’s with leather seats didn’t get warm enough.

Will do! I might start a build thread too. I have my 4 Play 4P06 wheels..... 6" Readylift, Air Design flares and 37" Toyo tires on order. Installing my pedal commander tomorrow.
Which fender flares did you go with? I went with non oem ones (red rock) and I have to warm them up and bend them a bit, so the plastic lines right up with the body of the truck. If not, I would get gaps. Also, I have to figure out what I want to do with the plastic trim pieces at the bottom edge that I removed to get the aftermarket flares on. Don't like the paint being exposed like that, but I do wash the truck enough to not worry about rust.

I have some minor gaps on them, but I need to pull them off and heat them up again. Here in south jersey, as you know salt and winters can get rough.

I went with Air Design flares. I've always bought Bushwhacker flares in the past. But, I realized the mud guards and the small lower black trim pieces would have to be removed with the Bushwhacker flares. Air Design seems to one of the few that retain those pieces. They're at the body shop for paint now. Right after I get the lift on mine I need to get under there and spray about 8 cans of fluid film on everything. The salt on the roads in the winter is brutal here!
 
I was interested in a Back Country but found out they recently got rid of a few options for the Big Horn trim level, for example RamBox.
 
Got a question, just got my 22 Backcountry build sheet. It does not list a 3.92 rear axle but does show e-locker. There was 3 build sheets today, all backcountry, 1 lists 3.92 but the other 2 do not. Thought all Backcountrys had 3.92's, is that true or not?

3.21 is standard, 3.92 was a 95$ option.
In a Rebel 3.92 is standard but not in a Backcountry
 
I have 3.21’s. Ordered that way too.😝
 
The Back Country package claims “raised ride height”.

What exactly does this consist of and how much lift is it over stock?

It’s pretty obvious my BC sits higher than my old Laramie. Here it is side by side with another Back Country.

Believe they advertise 1 inch lift. Also need to account for tire size.

I got lucky with mine, because I placed my order in June 2021. Waited 6 months to get it, and very much worth it.

If my memory serves me correct it was available from june-august last year. Then due to part shortage, they removed that feature.

It is the Off Road package which is 1" higher suspension (springs). I dont know why they don't call it the Off Road package as I think it has everything on it the OR package has.
