What did you do to your Ram today???

Thanks...debating 5100 or 6112. It is mostly a cost thing. Not going to heavy offroad but would like a good ride
From what I understand, the 5100’s would probably be a nicer ride on highway and they’re cheaper, so it sounds like a win-win for ya!
 
I took off my air damn along with the electronic one and taped up the electrical with electrical tape really well.
I like how it gave me more clearance but just worried about that connection getting small amounts of moisture. Wish there was a blank plug to throw on it to let it stay safer.
Hoping it doesn't mess with my MPG too much but from what I read online it's like 1 MPG less at most.

It's way less than 1 mpg.

Well that's good to hear. From what I understand you only really see a difference causing over 70 MPH, so not really concerned about it. More concerned about the plug for the electronic one.
 
Finally leveled my ‘19 w/ ORG. Went with Bilstein 6112’s (@ circlip #8) and the upper control arms from the Mopar 2” lift kit. Extremely satisfied with the look and ride quality of this setup so far.

This week I added the anodized aluminum shift knob from AJT Designs and red ambient lighting by Paragoptics. I still have to do the lighting in the doors and the footwells, but the dash looks good. The pics honestly don't do it justice.

I'm really on the fence about the shifter, but I just may have to do it, but would want the matching radio knobs.

Lights look awesome. Probably even better in person.

I thought about the radio knobs too. They aren't replacements like the shifter, they just slide over the top of the current knobs. For me, I would be worried they would be too bulky.

They aren't too bulky, but installing them does ruin the stock knobs. I was a little hesitant to get them, but after I installed the shifter knob the radio knobs looked pretty weak. They look great.

The radio knobs are held on with set screws? I suppose you could swap them for nylon tips and possibly not damage the OE's.

Yes. I don't think nylon set screws would grip the OE knobs enough to hold them in place. I'm never going to remove mine, so I'm okay with the stock knobs getting damaged.
 
I did the resonator delete this morning, already had a magnaflow muffler. Maybe a tad louder, hard to tell, but definitely has a deeper tone.
I've been thinking about doing this. I want just a little more, but not too much. Would love to hear one in person. I can't make any judgements off videos, etc.

I already have a Plymouth with straight pipes dumped in front of the axle using 40 Series Flowmasters. In videos it's not that loud at idle and you'd never know about that off idle drone... 😵‍💫
 
For those wanting bed extenders, I did install the Ford F150 (knockoff on eBay for $180), and works like a charm. I like the ability for it to fold away and collapse to the sides. 10mm rivnut and hole for the pin when it's extended out on the tailgate, done.

Got mine installed. From a 2014 F150 raptor. Found it on Facebook marketplace for $40.

Only issue I found is that the f150 bed opening is a perfect corner, while ours is rounded off. I just had to raise it about 2 inches. I decided to drill top and bottom pin holes to keep it from bouncing.
