What did you do to your Ram today???

[Ellisstrong]

Had all the chrome painted(minus the grill) and taillights painted as well. Gave her a quick wash & polish this evening.

Thanks, I’m happy for now but I really want to get different wheel/tire setup.

 

[Eltaco]

Installed a Retrax Pro MX cover. I’ve owned a truck for 16yrs and never had a cover on my bed. I really regret not having one on my last truck, so this was one of the first additions I wanted to make to my new 2020!

Just did a 2.5 leveling kit and 285/65/20 BF Goodrich KO2s on stock wheels, nothing rubs and rides perfect!!!

What were your center to fender measurements before and now

That is one sexy looking truck. That shine looks great too!

Thanks, I like to use Pinnacle Crystal Mist after wash/dry it really brings out the black paint.

T nut rail for my short bed w/Multifunctuon tailgate. Use it to mount my motorcycle wheel chock and a winch, to pull the bike into the bed.

Beds with MFT and brackets have a well-reinforced box-section forward lip. Couldn’t do this without that.



Getting the spacers into position in that bed lip box section required some unique “tools” (and much colorful language) but it worked.

RAM did some serious reinforcing here...

NIce! i was just looking at this set-up .

CCR Sport ProTrack Moto Rack - Compact Size 53.75"

Discover the most versatile motorcycle tie down rack for trucks, vans and trailers and see why you should have on for your next adventure to safely transport your cycles.

But I was planning on mounting it lower so that it would work w my dirt bike and mini. The front of the bed isn't reinforced like that lip.
What set-up do you have there?

That’s a cool option! My rail is the front rail from a Frontier. Had one b4, and when I saw this bar on eBay, the mental gears started turning. ..

if you mount it lower, I would do a couple things:
- use angle iron or U-bar as a backer bar behind the box front sheet metal. There’s not much fore-aft strength there.
- if you have a choice, mount it at the same height as the side rails, if you have them. This way you can use 45 deg angle brackets as corner brackets for reinforcement if needed. Fastenal has some off-the-shelf that are a perfect fit.

Looks like fun - what do you ride?

Looks badass!! what do you have for a lift and any rubbing?

2 1/2 front strut spacers

I had to trim the front mud flaps . It rubbed when turning the wheel half way left and right.

I am looking to buy straight out or am willing to trade my 20" 2019 Laramie wheels and tires that as of today have 10.625 miles on them (rotated twice). I am open to all REASONABLE OFFERS. Below are pictures of the wheels that are up for trade.

You'd probably have better luck posting this in the regional or buy/sell forum as this will get lost pretty quickly.

Installed Mopar Ramair intake and Mopar exhaust with 5" tips. All pretty east, but definitely would've been easier with a lift!

Are these tips the same as the ones that come from factory?

Thinking about installing the Hellwig. I don’t anticipate towing very often, but I’ve heard it makes the truck a bit more stable in turns. The ride is already great and I wouldn’t want to do anything to change that. Can you give us your thoughts on how it’s affected your ride? Thanks.

The sway bar doesn't really affect up and down motion. It just controls side to side and body roll. So, it makes it feel better in turns without affecting the ride going straight down the road. There is a tradeoff, though, if you do any serious offroading. The stiffer control of body roll means that it is more limiting to the suspension's articulation - so it doesn't handle rock crawling type of stuff as well.

The sway bar is awesome except the bushings are squeaky - I ended up using the end links from my BDS kit insead of the supplied ones.... I need to find some bad *** grease...other than that it makes a huge difference- Im on the middle setting.

I only used the grease that came with mine. Had it on for a few months and several thousand miles. I haven't heard any squeaking yet.

Interesting. What does your wheel chock setup look like?

When I need to haul my motorcycle, I use this wheel chock:

1800 Lb. Capacity Motorcycle Stand/Wheel Chock

Amazing deals on this 1800Lb Motorcycle Wheel Chock at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

www.harborfreight.com

$60 from Harbor Freight. It doesn't install. I just set it in the bed when I'm going to use it, and take it out when I'm not using it.

The upright portion is adjustable position. I have it set just far enough back so that the front of the chock can be up against the bed wall and the front wheel of the bike is far enough back to not hit my rolled up tonneau cover (a Bak Revolver X4). 2 tie-down straps from the lower triple clamp to the bed loops in the front corners of the bed and the bike isn't going anywhere. I put 2 more tie-down straps on the back of the bike just to make sure the back of the bike doesn't move side to side at all (e.g. if I go over bumps while cornering).

This setup is working well for hauling my KTM 1290 Super Adventure. I don't need a winch. I just drive the bike up a ramp (walking up a ramp next to it as I drive it up). Of course, if the engine were dead, getting it up there would be dang near impossible without a very convenient ditch or something. Or at least a couple of buddies to push it.

If you want to save hundreds, skip the Mopar middleman and install the Borla S exhaust. It is identical to the Mopar exhaust, since Borla makes it for Mopar... and, even better, the Borla kit includes new 5” tips (black or chrome) - whereas Mopar’s P/N Borla exhaust does not.

I have an EcoDiesel. :-(. I was just wondering if the 5" tips are the same as the ones that came on my Limited.

Ahhhh.... different animal, different exhaust ball game for the diesel. Sorry, I missed that part.

They are Mopar 5" tips which are considerably larger than the factory ones.
