I do as I have already made good use of it, plus it's cool ;-)

Nice set up. I wish we could have ordered bts’s up here. Would have set mine up a bit more like that. Still, managed to get one though.
thanks!

As a follow up, I reached out to Mopar themselves to ask for both my build number, and to see if there are pics of the cert plate on the new mopar edition... they submitted the ticket for the build number, but even mopar doesnt have pics yet of the cert plate, but the rep was very responsive and agreeable and just as inquisitive on why there was no certs for the BTS trucks

Please let us know what you discover. I am curious if I could find the build number for my truck as well.

Nice! When I asked Mopar, all I got was "IDK that's weird". They even told me the build number won't be available until Jan 2022 for some reason. Hopefully the more inquiries they get the more likely one will be made

Just a heads up, I had the recall performed on my truck for the springs. Guess who's taking it back because it rides like an old boat and when you hit bigger bumps it rebounds like the struts are going out. Yeah.... I only have 9000 miles on my truck and with them just swapping the springs it rides like this. Today they are going to have a tech ride with me so I can show them the way it feels. Hopefully they understand that it went from a crisp suspension response to swaying like my old F150 with struts starting to go out.

Hopefully they'll find whatever the issue is because it's not a common problem.

and... I'm still waiting to get my truck back from the dealer. I dropped it off Monday 0645 for the recall on the springs and there it still sits. I made the appointment last week, they said a loaner would be waiting for me when I drop it off, of course it wasn't, and I was an hour late for work. As stated in an earlier post, they called and told me they had to order more parts as well (not sure what parts since you would think it would have been described in the recall notice to the dealer on how to replace the wrong parts). My conversation with them yesterday(Thursday) was it should be ready for me today(Friday) or Saturday at the latest. Not getting a warm and fuzzy from my dealer so far on what should be fairly straight forward swap. When the Bilstein's arrive, I am taking it to the local 4x4 shop for install.

Just an update on the above post. I did get the recall work completed by that Friday and picked it up after work that day. It did take a full five days, but the good news is that my truck now drives as it should have for the last 14,000 miles(13 months). The work completed seems to be of good quality and the before and after measurements I took shows 1.25" lift at all 4 wheel openings. I did receive the 5100's I ordered for the front and got a quote from the dealer for $685.00 OTD. This is just for labor...........I have the parts!.......... So I'm definitely using the local performance shop that is $350 OTD with alignment.

So when you stop for your morning coffee and you have to snap a couple of pic's. You might be a Built To Serve owner ;-)

FYI Still not locked in on a wheel and tire combo.

I love the way the Tank color seems to change in the evening shade.

Spitfire changes colors too.

Is the first photo with the aftermarket wheels how the truck currently looks? If so, what size tires are you running?

Yup, 285/65r20

It's pretty cool, my Mojave Sand Rebel was like that and I noticed the Anvil color does it as well. Sure there are plenty of others.

Cool, I sit at 40 1/4 and 40 up front with the 3 1/2 RC kit. So I'd say you did pretty well! I luv the ride with the struts and upgraded rear shocks!
FYI luv Fuel's bronze color. May do it yet.

Love the look, thanks for your service. Fellow letter carrier here, retired 3 years now after 33 years and too many miles and a few trips to the ER due to Pit Bulls.
