Installed my 6112s ... Measured both sides and for some reason one is higher then other with both sitting on the same setting

Which side sits lower? I believe the drivers side sits lower on these trucks because of the fuel tank and other components.

Driver's side rear always sits lower by 1/2'', or so. I personally hate it. I didn't notice it at first. But, now, I can see it every time I look at my truck, from certain angles. Gas tank, smas tank, You'd think there would be a way to correct this. Or, compensate right from the factory engineering. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a guy who forked over $50k+ for a truck that leans.Installed my 6112s ... Measured both sides and for some reason one is higher then other with both sitting on the same setting

Ok, sorry. Got caught up in a rant. Probably should have read your post more carefully.
That seems odd to be off like that in the front.

Had my local Ram Dealer install a Trailer Brake Controller, total price including the controller, installation and programing was $530. I know I could have done it myself for a bit cheaper, but I really did not want to mess with taking out my 12" screen.

Looks awesome!
Did you remove the heat shield from the underside of your hood? Looks like the hood vents are functional now, I've wanted to do something like that. Do you have any issues with water or anything getting into the engine bay?

Thanks!
Yes I removed the heat shield from the underside of the hood and modified(cut) the bottom side of the fake vent off to allow more cooling if the engine bay. No issues from water getting into the engine bay. You can see the heat venting from them while sitting at a stop light. In due time I may go back and install heat shield after cutting the opening to accommodate for the new functional vent.
Coming from a Challenger, I did not understand why dodge didn’t make these functional.

Damn you, now I just might have to get one myself. I see you took the hood liner out and it's good to know the hood vents are actually functional. I may do that also.

Been looking for a while trying to determine which cai to get. Liked the looks of this one over the rest and it’s nice knowing it is enclosed.
I’m glad I did the hood vent modification to make them functional.

Truck's fuel tank huh? I thought it was my fuel tank that caused this!

Installed it earlier today, but just now able to post the picture. No picture means it didn't happen. My picture is the same as others though.
I did remove the knee panel to make it easier to get my arm in there. I also found it easier to depress the lower clip first and push it out enough to keep it from re-clicking. It seemed to take the pressure off the top two clips. Thanks to all who provided advice.

Came to appreciate just how convenient it is to load heavy items in the bed with the MFT and air suspension.
Also, not sure my AC is getting cold enough now that we are in triple digits...
Seriously considering ceramic tint on the windshield to cut down on the greenhouse effect a bit. I was hesitant because I don't want blur or starburst effect, but now I might just do it to keep from melting.

I have been considering tinting the front shield ASAP as well. California has been very warm lately and that big ol windshield is like a magnifying glass.
