Installed my Bilstein 6112s and 5160s. Mounted 275/55R20 General Grabber ATX tires.

Truck, wheels, and tires need to be cleaned but the mechanical work is done.

I take it you just wanted to stay with the stock size tires? 275/60/20 would look good. LOL. Just a little extra beef. (y)

Those tires look very nice, though. I have 275/60/20 Pirelli All Terrain Plus. I love them.

Add the Vertical Distressed American Flag Tailgate Decal: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07XJQQ1SB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

THANKS to @Snicklefritz_76 for the tip on cutting it into (3) pieces: 1) the Stars, 2) the short stripes and 3) the longer stripes. Made the install MUCH easier considering the size of the decal and all the curves of the tailgate.

That’s a great idea for breaking up the 60/40 line. Not usually a fan of stickers but I like this, besides it being our flag.

Great job sir, it came out perfect! These decals hold up really well too. I just got back from the car wash and I haven't had any issues with it peeling.

New to the site! Picked up a 2019 Bighorn Lvl2 w/25k miles (pano sunroof, all LED lighting, trailer brakes, etc.). This is my 3rd Ram, though. Had an 04 ST and a '11 Laramie and a couple Durangos, including my current 2019 R/T blacktop.

Truck came with with a Limited console installed, Line-x bed liner, and APS aluminum side steps, mopar tri-fold

Anyways, so far this week I haved done:

- Full detail in and out (Going to wait until it cools down to do the polish and ceramic coat).
- LED footwell lights
- Bought alfaOBD and the bypass. Already did fog dropout, bought and programmed the auto rain sensing wiper sensor) and a couple other settings)
- Replaced all 5 dash/ceiling speakers with infinity's
- Debadged the big horn off the tailgate

Up next
- LED cargo/ Diode Dynamics Brake bulb (arrive today)
- Thursday = Tint appointment
- After tint, hard wire & mount my radar detector and front/rear dash cam
- Bought premium non-tow mirrors to replace the tow mirrors that I can't get used to (arrive Friday) (Tow mirrors will be for sale)
- Previous owner swapped in a limited console but didn't bother to install the power inverter or hook up the wireless ram charger. So that's on my list of crap to do.
- Bought the Laramie "Ram Head" console cover because the limited one bugs me that it doesn't match my truck (Arrives soon) )Limited lid cover will be for sale).
- Try and talk myself out of leather....this is hard. I haven't had cloth in a car since like 2005. It's nice cloth, but still.

Anyways glad to be here. I haven't made it through all 967 pages yet, but so far you all have some nice trucks. 🍻

Being a UofM fan, I think the blue and yellow on your plate looks dandy!

The look of pa reg is awful! they needed a refresh years ago, but our so called governor is more worried about making are state welcoming to illegals' and a sanitary state. don't worry about all the people trying to get into to this county the right way its fine cut the line and get rewarded! wonder if this would work for custom ordering a ram?

I had 275/60R20 Cooper AT3 4S tires on my Big Horn with the same suspension. I did like the look of the 33" tires on it.

Had vibration issues with that truck. Wheels, tires, or something else not entirely sure. Had bad gas mileage in that truck too.

Decided to just go with the 32" factory size tires this time around. So far so good.

If I had 3.92 gears I'd definitely go larger.

Hey, I just noticed we have almost identical, night edition, patriot blue, limited, 3.21, etc, etc. trucks built at the same time, only real difference is mine has the ecodiesel. I even think my window sticker showed up on the same date as yours.

Anyway I have been running the comma two in my truck for the last 1500 miles. Hands free cruise control. The install is simple takes only a few minutes. It works great, the only thing that needs to be made is the wire harness, that might take an hour. It's also easy. Installing the openpilot software is the most confusing part, if you don't know what you are doing but once you figure it out, it is very easy. I didn't have a clue when I started. It's all good now and I'm loving it.
Thank you , this may give me the gulp..confidence .. to put me over the edge and figure it out. I am pretty computer savvy with stuff -and already on discord for other stuff(stock/crypto) but my crimping expertise extends to fishing leaders, but I am decent at installing ceiling fans- LOL
I am going to join that discord and see I should take a $1500 swing at it.
