Post your Crew Cab 6’4 bed. (Official Longbed Thread)

[EStein]

Did adding the topper affect fuel economy?

Sorry haven’t checked this in awhile. I didn’t notice any change in fuel economy.

Looking forward to be able to post in here. Just placed my order for my 1500 longbed!

So happy I found this thread! I was just thinking this morning "I need to find a way to spend 30 minutes looking at fellow 6'4" bed Ram owners."

I am starting to consider the lift I want to go with and was hoping to find some other lifted (various sizes) 6'4" Ram trucks to take a look at. LOTS of awesome-looking trucks here.

Here is my "base" platform I will be working with...lots of work ahead. In the short term:

1. Replace all chrome badges and replace with black
2. Tint front windows to match (happening today)
3. Replace bed cargo lights with LED
4. A lift (most likely a 3.5", more on that to come)
5. 20 with 35s (will sell the OE 20" Chrome wheels and tires)

Anyone have a long bed with ORP on a level lift 2.5” and 1.5” back on 33”, 34” or 35” tires?

I am looking at that set up with the Laramie sport rims. Deciding between the ko2s or the falkens at3w. I’ve been scouring the forum for this combo but seems like the shortbed lifts and tire community outnumbers the long Ed “regular bed” community.

Does anyone have a 6'4" version with a 3.5" lift? I am really struggling with the idea around a 3.5" or a 6" lift. I am not sure the 3.5" will give it the looks I am wanting.

How does that beaut drive with the 5" RC lift on 22s?

She drives wonderful! I paid the extra $200 for the better RC V2 shocks. And since I got a load E tire rather than load F, the ride isn't harsh over small bumps especially on the 22s. Only thing is it dropped my fuel economy by 3mpg which I figured.

Also, after the lift you might need to take it into the dealer to recalibrate the air ride heights. It says it in the instructions recalibration may be needed and I needed it. The front passenger side was 3/4" higher than drivers side when I was taking measurements from ground to fender. My dealer did it for free and all they do is hook up the tool and read the measurements and make sure everything is back to normal with the air bags.

Good deal. I dont have the air-ride option. No issue with the RC lift? I had the 6" version in my F150, never had an issue. I do REALLY love the smooth ride my stock setup gives me...and if I lift it, there is a chance I will sacrifice that ride quality. I am still struggling with the look I am going for with the long bed (first time I owned a long bed). My gut tells me that going to 5-6" lift will be the sweet spot so I can get some 35" on there. Great tip on the E rating on the tires!!

No issue at all. Aside from the fact that I have to step higher to get into the truck, I would've never known she was lifted. I suspect the air ride contributes to that smoothness as the lift is just strut spacers. Tires will play a big role in the ride quality as well, which is another reason I went with 295/55 rather than the 35x12.5 since they are basically the same size but one is 10 ply and the other is 12 ply. That and the 35s were $100 more a tire.

I’ve decided to go with the 285/60r20 Fallon at3w. I was going to go ko2 but my buddy says his are loud. Since mine came with the same at3ws and I like them after 40k miles. Guess I’ll stick to those. Hoping next week I’ll have tires mounted a 2.5” motofab lift in front and a 1.5” lift out back......should be nice. I am considering going with the 5100 bilsteins out front and doing the 2” since my truck has orp. I also considering upgrading to the 2” ucas if I do the 5100 bilsteins. Might be nice.

Nice looking truck. What’s the set up and tire size/wheel.

Lovin' my truck so far, the long bed was a deal breaker for me.

This is my 2021 Laramie CC 4x4 w 6'-4" bed as it sat on the Dealers lot when i signed the Paperwork.
I am waiting for the Weather to warm up a little more to Wash it and Ceramic/Graphene coat it. Then
I will post some more pix. I have added a LEER 122 Cap and Cab Lights to it. Other mods planned and
Parts purchased.
