Official North Edition Thread

[MoparGuy]

Well, I finally got my lift and tires installed. Here are some before and after pics along with some ground to top of wheel well measurements.
Looks like I gained a little over 3.5" in front and a little over 3" in the back. Tires are 295/60R20 Falken Wildpeak AT3W. I do have some rubbing on the back of the mud flap on which I was certain I would so I will trim as much as I need to.

For those of you on the fence on going with the Mopar lift, with my ORP springs, I actually gained over 4.5” in front and over 3.5” in back over a non ORP truck. When I first ordered my tires I was only planning on using a lifting shock or leveling spacers. The only thing I would have done differently is went with the 35s I originally wanted. My 34s look good but as you can see from my pics, I have room for more tire...

Thanks!
No issues with the alignment and the installer said there were no issues during installation. The only reason I'm aware of you may have heard about not lifting a North Edition is the 1" lift we already have from the ORP springs can put additional stress on the ball joints from the more aggressive angles from the kit. With the kit being all Mopar, everything is covered under warranty so I'm not too worried.

Looks awesome! Just put 275/65/20 atturo trail blade xt’s on today

Truck looks good! I like your running boards. I have not seen too many guys running that brand and style of tire. How do they ride?

To be honest I only drove about 10 miles home but so far not too loud(only did about 60) but I’ll update after a few miles. For the 45k mike warranty and about 210/tire figured I’d give em a shot. Had the atturo trail boss on my Cummins n loved them

So I put about 100 miles on today. Rode surprisingly well being a 10 ply tire. Road noise at highway speeds wasn’t bad at all although I do have an exhaust. Definitely a little stiffer being a 10 ply but curious to see how they wear over time

Glad to hear they ride well. I haven’t noticed any road noise from my Falkes but the ride is definitely not as good and smooth as stock but I didn’t expect it to be. It rides like a truck lifted 4” higher with 34” tires would.

First post here (hello), also first time owning a truck, also first time owning an FCA product.

I fell in love with this north edition Ram and pulled the trigger a couple days ago. Got er' dirty the day after I bought her.

Good looking truck! Welcome to the FCA/Ram family. My 19 North Edition is my 3rd FCA Truck I’ve owned but I plan on keeping this one. The only thing I’d trade it in for is a TRX but that’s not going to happen so I’ll keep her. Got any mods planned?

Thanks, glad to be here. I'd love to do some tasteful mods, we'll see though. I'm just happy to have been able to change to a truck like I've been trying to do for the last 20 years! Finally! lol

Likely, I'll probably do a mild level and maybe slightly larger tires next time around. The truck needs darker tint and a tonneau cover of some kind probably. Otherwise I'm super happy with it. It has pretty much everything I wanted, so I'll be happy with it for a while I think.

Hi, does anyone know what the North Edition specific parts are that give it the 1" lift?

I'm considering getting a new 2020 1500, but it doesn't have the North or Off Road packages like my 2019 North and was curious what I could add to give it the factory 1" lift.

North Edition came with the same coil springs as the Off Road Package. They are a bit firmer and give a taller ride height.

Without the ORP springs, you could buy a 1" or 1.5" Daystar spacer lift kit and it would basically achieve the same stance.

If you are going to put any kind of lift in your truck your better off buying a non ORP because of all the options out there. Other than that you can’t beat the options on this package IMO

Hey all. Currently have a 19 North Edition in Granite. Leased the truck and since it was that time, working on trading it in on a 22 Laramie Night Edition. First thing I noticed at the lot was the height difference, not sure I am going to like that, but options are slim right now. Anyone able to point me in the right direction on best parts to get to make the 22 the same height as the 19? I also hate the new mirrors. The 22 comes with the 3.92 rear and full towing package, but no tow mirrors (!?!). I have found a vendor for replacement mirrors, so I think I have that figured out. I am just not sure on the height. The 22 Night Edition comes with 22" wheels and step bars, but I am scratching my head trying to figure out why the step bars on this truck since it sits an inch lower. The one I looked at...seems more of a pain stepping over the step bars as they are not really placed at a useful height.

My 2019 North Edition

 

[Shiloh3245]

Hello, I'm still kind of new to the forum but just found this thread and figured I would post my North Edition as well, even though I went down a different road to acquire it.

I was in the market to buy a new truck but the prices that I saw was just crazy so I went to copart and found one that had some body damage due to a storm out in Kentucky. It was left outside during a tornado and got beat up pretty bad, luckily all the damage was cosmetic. I figured with it having 19k miles on it I would put my bid in to try and win it since I would be doing all the repairs myself. Luckily enough, I won it. After 7 months of working on it on and off in my garage, I finally finished it, but I can not for the life of me find those 4x4 North stickers anywhere. I really wanted to replace the ones I removed to repair the damaged parts. I have some updates that I want to do but as of now it's still stock.

Glad I found this thread. Here’s mine!

Looks great man, how do you like those headlights?

So, I realize the North Edition is basically just a Big Horn that banged a Rebel. But I’m interested to see how many people out there, made the choice to go with it. I personally wasn’t even aware it was a thing, until my salesman pulled a white one around for me. And to be quite honest..he didn’t even know what it was haha. I ended up doing most of the research into what the actual package entailed. Long story short, I found a 2020 Granite Crystal on their lot, it gave me everything I needed, and saved me about $10k from the Rebel I initially wanted.

Post yours up and anything you’ve done to it.

Really good looking truck ! Do you happen to know which running boards you have? My '19 NE came without them and I'm in the market finally. Thanks in advance!
