Hey all, bought my 2025 RAM Lonestar edition a few months ago. (Manager demo...so had 5K miles on it) So far no big issues of note....knocking on literally every piece of wood I can find!!! The only small issue I am experiencing is a chirp or creak or something when I apply the brakes. Not something that sounds like brake dust or anything like that...so I have no idea. Taking it in to dealership in a few weeks...will just let them take a look.

Anyway I live in Shreveport, LA....retired military...and am now a federal civilian still working on base.

As stated my truck is a 2025 RAM 1500 Lonestar. 2WD. (didn't need the 4WD...never used it anyway...so figured I would save a few bucks) I have done quite a few mods to it already. Bilstein Shocks on the front to level the truck. New bigger tires....Nitto Terra Grappler G3s...brought the truck up another few inches, and I like the AT look better. Ceramic tint around. Running boards and all weather black floor mats I had the dealer put on. I added a Gator hard Tr-Fold bed cover a few days ago. (attached some pics for you all)

I look forward to talking with all of you!!

Welcome! Reading this forum could scare the crap out of you with the problems people are having.
What size tires did you go with? No other changes other than the shocks?

Welcome and looks great! The only thing I would recommend, swap the rear shocks with Bilstein so all 4 corners have the same valving. Otherwise Rock On!!

Tires - Nitto Terra Grappler G3 275/65R20

For the level, yep just the Bilstein 5100s on the front only.

No other changes to suspension and tires other than that. The rims are stock...though may look to change those in the future.

And you saw all the other things I have done as well.

Good call...I think I will look into that as well. (didn't think of it to be honest!) Will waiting on this have a negative effect on anything...or just cosmetic??

No, you'll be good. I just prefer all 4 corners have same valving, so they're not possibly fighting each other. Plus my OCD hates mismatched

Thanks for your service also!
