Uhh...why the 7883? Oh, got it, you have a lift kit! Nice.
No lift kit, but the links that come with it are adjustable from stock to like 4 or 6” lifts I think. The kit was like $70 less than just the Hellwig bar so I took advantage of it!

Ok


Is that for the rear? Should I do both the rear and the front? I haven’t looked into this at all, but if it’s something I should jump on I will!
Just the rear. 3 settings -- mild, medium, and firm. Just choose one of the three pairs of holes. Easy bolt-on. Truck doesn't roll as much when cornering. Lots of folks love the improved stability. Cheap modification.

Nebraka requires them, but cops usually don't bother you about it. I've been pulled over three times in 20 years for no front plates, and all three of those times were by state patrol on the other side of state from where I live. Fix it tickets each time. Never gotten a fix it tickets signed off, just ignored them.
You can legally go without a front license plate in NE, but it will cost ya $50/year for a sticker on your windshield.

Picked one up off Walmart! Any preference on the setting?

Or just not run one and don't pay extra, and not have to put a sticker on my tinted windshield

Just kidding, more rear window issues...
Previous trip was a crack frame and leaking right? What is wrong this time? Hopefully they don't point to the new CHMSL you've got as a culprit!

Lucky you got it replaced. At 22000 miles mine has wrinkled to the point of cracking. Again Ram is thinfs. Wning this is normal wear and tear and will not replace under warranty. My dealership, S and L Motors in Pulaski WI has been unwilling to stand up and cover the defect. They just say Ram won’t cover so nothing we can do. I guess your dealer choice is important. Normal wear and tear in cracking leather seat after 2 years and 22000 miles? Perhaps so I you supply your vehicles with very inferior leather
When I got my truck I had a local detail shop ceramic coat the paint, and they did an interior protection that warranties against these type of things. Good for 7 years.

The cable inside the window frame is making a clicking noise when the window slides open/close. Apparently the window needs to come out to repair.
