Next, either sway bar or bed lights
Go with the Hellwig sway bar. After install, you will wonder why you waited so long to get it

I've been reading that...I've thought the truck handled very well the way it is, but I plan to add it soon and see how much better it can get

Question for you or anybody else. I have the alpine 9 speaker system…is upgrading just the dash speakers worth it? Audio seems really good for my taste. This is coming from my 2016 Charger with the 6 speaker alpine that is only putting out 256w…which is frustrating low power.

6/14…order placed
6/24…D status and Vin

So, when I installed them I noticed the volume isn't as loud as before, but the highs and mids are much clearer. I went back and forth on it for a few days and when I showed my friend that was an audio freak, he was like man the difference is night and day. I placed certain music and you can tell how clear it sounds. It is pretty amazing in my books.

Nice. What did you have stock, and what did you upgrade too?

Do you have a link to the fleece center console lid protector? Having a hard time finding one for this truck.
Sorry it took so long to get back - they locked out this site at work (I guess I was spending too much time reading posts. LOL!).

This is the one I ordered: https://www.autoconsolecovers.com/b...2021-laramie-limited-bighorn-tradesman-rebel/

Since I have the Limited Longhorn (w/saddle) interior, I just went with black. Meanwhile, the one I pulled from my 2012 LoneStar fits 'adeqately" while I wait for the new one(s) to arrive - so, I wouldn't be as opposed to ordering one that says it fits the 4th Gen full console lids. After all, it's a piece of fleece with some elastic on the hems designed to fit a full console lid - aside from ordering one for say, a Toyota (with completely different dimensions), it'll fit well enough for most people.

Here's another one I found that offers a variety of colors: https://carconsolecovers.com/product/dd1-c2/
Here's another I found that seems to be in black only (and only up to 2018): https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Armour-...ocphy=9027556&hvtargid=pla-571446434118&psc=1
