What did you do to your Ram today???

Check out the Cooper Discoverer AT3s if you want quiet. I have the AT3 XLTs since I tow, but I'm bet the non LT tires are just as quiet. When I first put them on, I was pleasantly surprised they were as quiet as stock (even at freeway speeds)! They are still just as quiet even after 5000 miles too.
I have the AT3s, and they are pretty quiet. Very good all weather traction as well.
 
The wireless CarPlay dongle came in last night. Worked perfect this morning and fits in the wireless charging phone holder.

I promise my truck doesn’t look this dirty, must be the light.

This is the CarlinKit 2.0 from Amazon.

Installed TAC Predator Bull Bar, Red Emblem overlays and Icon Motorsports OEM style Fender Flares. Still need to do a black refinish to the running boards.

Spent my weekend (and many beers) getting this beast ready. Used Adams Graphene Ceramic coating. Wash, clay bar and polish and then coating.

I was super nervous using the Adams because everyone online made it seem like you had to be careful when doing. I get it, don’t let it dry for more than a minute, wipe off all the spots. But only exacerbated my stress when using it. But I think it came out great, pics don’t do it justice.

I guess I have some questions to granite Crystal metallic owners out ther: do you sometimes notice an unevenness of the paint application? Several times it looked like there were minute shadows in the paint, where maybe the metallic paint was more concentrated? Is it possible to get your paint that clear to accentuate any imperfections in how they applied the paint?

Did you have to cut the air dam to install the bull bar? Do you have to shut off your front sensors so they don't mess with the bull bar? Nice over lays.

Beautiful truck. Love that color combination with the blacked out wheels.

How does it attach? Did you do a custom sensor relocation? Can it be used with factory tow hooks?

Yes had to punch a hole in the lower air dam and custom cut with a box cutter. Surprisingly it cut very easy with the knife. Was much easier than pulling it to cut. I bought a Westin sensor relocator kit p/n 40-0045s and just used the plug and play harnesses and the pass through grommets for the old holes. Drilled holes in light bar section of bull bar and it looks and works perfect. You can see sensors on closeup of bull bar.

Attaches to bumper mount with support bracket. Factory tow hooks will clear fine. One bracket would goe under one of the tow hook bolts. Custom sensor location on the crossbar just above the lights. Used Westin 40-0045s kit for harnesses. Install took about 3 hours by myself. Another hour for sensors and lights.

I might consider 1” looking at that
That's what I'm leaning towards. I want to upgrade to 35's but my current tire sits so close to my UCA that I would need spacers.

Problem is, I would have to trim down my wheel studs since my wheels don't have the "pockets" on the back for the stud to slide into.

I'd have to 1.5" in order to not have to trim thr stud.
