Everyone does. The short beds are just silly. I mean, 6-1/2 ft USED TO BE the short bed! 8 ft was standard. I don't get it. And folks get pissed when you ask them about it. Room enough for 2 bags of mulch and a tray of flowers.

5'7" bed is fine for me, track tools/tires, bags of mulch and landscape materials are my most frequent uses and bigger stuff like 8' sheets of plywood aren't fitted a 6'4" bed any better.

The Crew Cab with a 6'-4" is too long for a standard parking space. I
can just imagine a 25-3500 CC with an 8' bed.

The CC with the 5.7 sticks out of most places I park. My current truck is much longer than my previous QC 6.4 bed truck

I took her in for warranty work. Had the dash replaced due to the large bubble on the leather above instrument cluster. Also had them replace the leaky back window and the drive's side bed light (condensation). Got to drive a V6 Challenger for 2 days. Son loved it but getting in and out of that thing was pesky.

Now I am trying to fix a scratch on the hood that a wayward sign in a Lowe's parking lot caused. Dealer quoted basically a whole new re-spray! Going to get a second opinion.

Sure they can! The Ram brochure even shows that a full sheet can fit between the wheel wells. With the tailgate down, you're there.

Anyone that has tapped the white and tan tracer in the rear door sill for the bedlights tell me how in the world you've got around this plastic around the wiring. I didn't want to take the rear seat out but that seems to be the only answer

Here's a question I need answered. If you tie DOWN something, how is it useful for the BUG to have the hitches on the rail almost at the top of the bed? How can you tie down anything that way? Maybe they're useful when your load is taller than the bed?
That's what the ones lower down in the corner are for. These are for anything taller as someone mentioned.

Incredible... just when I thought I was done buying things :ROFLMAO:
I picked up one of theses as well. They are great for sheet rock or 10footers, row boats

Which gap are you referring to? By the tailgate?

Just got my 5100 bilstein shock put on. Front adjustable and rear 5100s.sorry my drive is a little sloped. But I measured and now my fronts are 39 inch from bottom and rears is 39 1/8th in the rear.. looks good with the duratracs, but might go with a bigger tire soon.

Is that the Rough Country light bar with DRL in the grill? I’ve been looking at those for weeks, on the fence about ordering. How was the install process? Did you wire DRL portion to your DRL circuit or are you turning on manually?

RC are quality products. Their bracket kit makes install a breeze
