What did you do to your Ram today???

Used Hyperdip on hood emblems and rear emblem. Debagded RAM logos and BH/4x4 in rear.
Liked hyper dip over Plasti dip, much smoother and I like the touch of gloss as it goes with the gloss wheels better then flat black IMO.

Removed, cleaned, re-greased, and reinstalled my Hellwig sway bar. It was getting a little “creaky” when lowering the truck. Went with the middle setting this time, and I’m liking it so far!
Did it seem to help? Noticed a little bit of squeaking from my bushings as well.
 
Put on new headlights. Love em!

Glad to see a install with these
 
I built my own storage box for under the seat & carpeted it. I wanted something that maximized every inch of space & could fit a sub under the seat eventually so this is what I came up with! It looks factory in my opinion. Ram Bins still open fully, and your feet don’t kick it since it’s angled. Plus I notched the front so that it hooks into the groove for the ram bins so it stays put without having to screw it down to the cab.
Really nice job!! Which floor mats are those?
 
Pulled the Hellwig off today and reapplied some grease to the bar, and bushings. It developed a squeak when I transferred it from my 2019. Hellwig was nice enough to send me a few packets of their grease for free too!
It's cool they sent them from free, but it's just silicone grease. Most parts stores carry it
 
just finished installing front bumper on my rebel 2021 on a bumper they claim wouldnt fit the rebel ..... alone lol now to instal my sliders / steps tomorrow

Nice job, looks super clean.......I'll take one 😝.

Yeah it was, I could have certainly gotten some silicone grease but they first offered to send new bushings and I had no need so they insisted on sending more grease packets. It’s appreciated that they actually stand behind their product and do everything they can to keep their customers happy.

Did the same today although mine would squeak when going over speed bumps, greasing the D bushings definitely fixed it!
 
Thanks! Not bad at all, a little stiffer than stock, but tires handle well and are quiet!
I was going to ask you about the Atturos. I've got the same wheels and they have a noticeable hum to them compared to the nittos on my buddies truck. Good wheels, and good price, but I'll be getting nittos next time.

I found a stock 4x4 so I took some pics with it lol. This is with the BDS 4” lift and 35s. It’s actually a bigger difference than I remembered!

Is it me or does there seem to be a much bigger difference on the front side?

That’s correct because I only lifted the rear 1.75”

That’s correct! I did the 4” lift up front and 2” lift in the rear but for some reason I got 4.75” up front and 1.75” in the rear. Add in the tires and basically I’m 5.75” taller up front and 2.75” taller in the rear. With my tailgate down my bed is actually only 1.25” taller than stock.

Makes sense. Always interesting to see what the real life “inches” end up being

Love the stance

thank you! My front end sits 1” higher than the rear.
 
Installed the Du-Ha underseat, lockable storage bin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0854126FK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, because I don't have the crazy-good building skills as @Mclovinnnnn does: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-ram-today.1686/page-762#post-420006.

Also "installed" a bed mat, even tough the bed has a factory spray-in bedliner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V7LGYK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Also drained my Mishimoto Oil Catch Can. Got ~ 3 ounces of slop, after ~ 2K miles.
