anyone in the Phoenix area looking for a Mopar accessorie painted to match hard tonneau cover in granite color ... fits new 1500 bodystyle ... located in gilbert, Az in near perfect condition ...guy is looking to get $500 out of it ..... he was asking $800
this is the only pic he has of it on his truck... even at $500 ... it's still a deal and can be painted to match your truck should you need to paint.

Congrats on the new Laramie...that Hydro Blue is a killer color and I would have gotten that if was available when I purchased mine!

The wheels are Black Rhino Dugger in a 18x8.5 size with +0MM offset, 5-inch BS.

Correction: @thrillracing; my apologies but the backspacing for the 18x8.5 wheels are 4.75 inches, not 5 inches as stated earlier! I was thinking about the 20-inch size. :(

How’s your ride quality on those tires? I have the same and I can’t seem to get them smooth at higher speeds.

The ride quality compared to the factory tires is worse lol. A bit more bumpy/bouncy ride at slower speeds, but I blame it on the rims because they're heavier. Much more road noise on the hwy than the factory street tires., but I get a pretty smooth ride at high speeds. I'm usually doing 75-85 mph on the highways out here and no issue with comfort. The cabin active noise cancellation helps the road noise a little, plus I keep the radio cranked up anyway so small sacrifice for a better look.

You guys might wanna look into the hellwig sway bar. Solved all of my problems. I recently adjusted it for the highest performance and it took all of the wiggle and uncertainty out of the frame.

I just purchased my buddies 22” sport wheels for my Laramie. I’m not sure if I’m feeling them at the moment. I think I would have rather of gone with the other 2 styles below and might be looking for a trade ‍♂️

Hmmm... after looking into it, I think you're right. My biggest issue with Rams (even my 2017 model) the loss of control in the truck after hitting a bump. You can literally feel it in the steering. I thought getting the limited trim with air suspension would help with this, but on this truck its only to level it for heavy loads. Fooled me :). Expensive assumption lol. I'll look into this sway bar!

I already added a hellwig swag bar since my first post. It helped Beyond expectations. Also added core 4x4 end links. And boy is it a better ride quality.

My 19 limited came from the dealer with an extremely toed alignment. So it could just be my truck. Or I'm driving too fast, or I'm just looking for it since it was so bad on my 17. Either way, I'm order this sway bar next. One thing I've learned after getting the new wheels is how each component in alignment affects steering and ride comfort. With the new wheels, they had to max out my caster adjustment to get it aligned properly. And after the tire shop explained to me the effects of a positive vs negative caster adjustment, I'm thinking this may play a role as well. I NEVER got my 17 ram aligned. Drove it 56k miles. Wondering now if it was also misaligned out of the factory. And if the maxed out caster is giving me the ride issues I have now on my 19 limited at slower speeds.
