Official Built to Serve Thread

I love my BTS 1500 and have the upmost respect for those individuals who served our country, but I had the same concern and ended up removed my flag decals. While it felt unpatriotic removing the decals, I feel much more comfortable knowing that it may discourage any accusations of stolen valor. I gently used a heat gun to remove the decal and goo gone for the remaining residue. It took quite a while and effort to completely remove the residue; if I had to do it again, I would attempt the eraser wheel method.

I'm glad you were able to find the decal part number! I think I'll order a set, in case I ever change my mind or (eventually) decide to sell this truck.

Exactly. I was fighting with residue as well especially on one side. I was still able to kinda see the rectangle where the sticker used to be. But finnally pollisher wheel did the job and noone call tell anymore.

I was thinking the same, if I am to sell the car I will just buy the stickers again.

Frankly it looks cleaner without the stickers anyway.

By the way I leveled front by 2inches and now I need bigger tires lol.

I really like the wheels though so I have to figure out what can I fit on them without rubbing.

Maybe 275/65/20 would fit?

Does anyone have a tip? I would like to put bigger all terrains which would still be fun and reasonably quiet on the highway.

Same here. Levied 3” with 275/65r2O’s on stock wheels. No rub or trimming.

Seeing all these pics of BTS is really making me excited for my Gator one that I put money down on.

Sucks I got to wait for roughly two months till I leave this side of the world to get it.

I have the Eibach adjustable shocks set to 1.8” + the ORP = @ 3”. You should have roughly the same.
I put Federal Xplora RT tires on. I was very impressed with the Couragia MT’s on my last truck. I wanted to go back to an RT/XT tire like the RidgeGrapplers (I ran them on my 4th Gen a while back and loved them). So I found these on Federals site and I figured I would give these a try. Plus they were literally half the price of Nittos. They handled very well in today’s snowstorm here in NY.

Is this the same Tank (PGK) that the Jeeps have. The Tank on the Jeeps look darker to me.

Yes, same color

Is the dealer holding it for you? Is it just sitting on the lot?

MAS is holding at its holding facility in Houston TX. Two weeks prior they deliver it to a local dealer.

For those interested, I finally got the correct ORP springs installed. No bilsteins, strut spacers, or add-ons.
Gained 1.5” front and 1” rear
Before measurement 21.5 front - 24 rear
ORP installed measurement 23 front - 25 rear

edit: added before and after picture

And another noob question - do you take care to dealership to change the setting for bigger tire or you just love with the fact that your readings are not accurate?

No recalibration.

A fellow LIer? Hello from Port Jeff Station! Well in East Africa now but eventually from LI.

Greetings everyone! I brought home a 2021 Anvil BTS this week. Dealer brought it out after I test drove a 4x4 OR and my wife said it was mine lol. Wasn’t expecting her to like it but who am I to complain. It has the level 2 package with the 26 gal tank (better than the 23 but wish it had the 33) and the 12” radio.

I’ve found the write ups for adding keyless entry but noticed that they don’t offer the handles in the flat black, I’m assuming since they’re typically a base model handle, but does anyone know if you could swap the innards over to our handles or maybe just the caps? Probably a stupid question but I’m new to Dodge/Ram.
