Specs:
2” shank
4” drop
1500lb max tongue weight
2” ball 8000 max
2-5/16” 10000 max

Ordered from amazon. All my other hitches were for my diesel and held a 2-1/2” shank. Pity because I have $600 in hitches I can’t use.

Anyway I really like it. Easy to use.

That looks like a work of precision machined art
 
I had a set of BF Goodrich K02s in size 255/60/R20 today. I love the look, but I am having a bit of buyer's remorse as I think the stock tires rode better. Other members here have had opposite feelings and have felt these tires ride better. Hoping I get used to them.

Thank you and I agree completely. Weight safe is impressive and you don’t get any of the hitch chatter that I got with the B&W.

Got PPF put on today! Dealer went extra mile and did the entire front end including grill inserts and mirrors. Was only expecting bumper and hood.
 
I put my (2) new 30' Rhino recovery straps, shackles, and hitch into the storage bins :D I also put a gash in the lower glove box moving a dog crate out :(
 
Bought it. Black Laramie Sport w/ Hemi. Won’t get it for 2-4 weeks. Was just built, so the wait will suck. Had an ‘09 I traded in for my 2013 Rubicon. It will be good to be back in a ram.

I kind of felt the way you do. When i went from the 18's to the 22's because there is a lot less sidewall to flex but i am used to them now and the ride is 100% fine.
 
Installed the Magnaflow cat back exhaust... Will say installing this alone is a bit of a pain. I recommend getting some one to help here and there. The outlets are a tiny bit off but it's not that noticeable from a distance. Have to be close up and at the level of them. The left one does interfere a little when the bed step is deployed.

You align them with the stainless steel hose clamp trick holding the rubber block biased the necessary direction. Takes 5 minutes to do. Use big slip joint (water pump) pliers to force rubber block in the proper direction while tightening hose clamp. Aftermarket exhaust forums focused on Magnaflow even have pictures. This is picture before I did the clamp trick. They are perfectly centered now with 2 cheap clamps.IMG_3432.JPG

Thanks. Hopefully I get used to these as well. I actually have more sidewall now so I figured there would be more flex. I think it’s just the tread on the pavement. My F150 had 10 ply tires and obviously this is still a lot smoother than that was.

Got my Mopar tri-fold hard tonneau cover yesterday and installed it last night. Mopar part # 82215227AC, ordered from BAMWHOLESALEPARTS.com for $717 + $60 shipping to Maryland. The dealership I bought my truck from wouldn't come down on their price of $947 + 6% sales tax. So I saved about $250 by ordering online. It was easy to install, but all six slam latches didn't catch the rails as far as they should have so I adjusted them as shown in the pictures.

As others have pointed out this cover is the same as the BakFlip G2. Looks like it will hold up well. I really liked the fact that the tailgate can be closed without having to open the cover. Still need to order and install a tailgate seal.

Is this the same cover that can be ordered with the truck?

I think the one you can add when configuring a truck on the RAM website is a soft cover. I would assume if you are doing a custom order from a dealer you could spec the hard fold cover.
 
Xpel installed on the front and rockers of the Ram. Also had front windows tinted. Noticed the passenger drain plug is not fully seated so I'll be under the truck tonite trying to get that corrected. You'd think they would have had this fixed at the plant by now.
 
I took it to the stealership to get the recall done for the brakes, get the car play fixed and some other dumb **** that I got a big fat “we don’t know “ answers to.

At least CarPlay is now alive again
 
I installed the BAK Revolver X4 tonneau cover last night. I love the mat finish and the low profile look.
