Flipped it around the right way now. Put Rokblokx mudflaps on the rear. The front ones rub the tires so they were removed. Moved the Bilstein 6112’s from the 6th to the 8th Circlip for additional lift. Picked up the appropriate ORP springs to go on with the Bilstein 5100’s for the rear. View attachment 147674

Getting rub on my front tires with the husky mud guards. Probably going to take them off.

What are the appropriate ORP springs to go with the rear bilstein 5100s? I want to do same as I have the adjustable 5100s up front but lost all my rake. So figure a lift in the rear will be right where I want er. Tks

You'll find your answer here:

or here:

Or you can also install Icon rear coils for another 0.5" of lift over the Bilsteins. I did that and gained 2" with the rear 5100s.

Here's mine with 5100s all around, clip 5, front ORP and rear Icons. I might drop down to clip 4 when I get my new wheels/tires installed.

Side steps are done, black tips installed.

I did tell a little white lie in my previous post. I’m actually not totally done. I have an appointment next week to get PPF on the front bumper, and the front windows tinted.

He is also going to try and tint the taillights to mimic night edition tails.

Then I’m done… for now.

Also installed the BedRug Impact Bed Mat.

Still rides good. Rode great with just bilsteins and factory wheels. Once went with the 10ply grapplers at 40psi age got a tad more firm, but still to me rides really good, after all it is a big Ram beast with 35s...handles better and more level turns with wider stance and bilsteins. Slight calm hum from tires, but very light and a big surprise wasn't more than just a very low hum. Very pleased with the look and performance. Now to see what mpg does. 3.92 years turn these 35s just fine and doesn't feel like a struggle to get er moving. Etorque equipt too.
nice, and glad to hear. i’m slapping the 35s on next week. though just 3.21 gears 🤔 we’ll see… i can’t wait!
I'm in central WA, and we hate you.
😂 my bad. out fishing again today. it was 82, a dinkfest, and i have sunburnt feet 🤦🏼‍♂️

I'm really pondering a bedrug
I had a BedRug Impact Liner in my 19 BigHorn and really liked it.

At the time when I got it (back in 2018) there were very few options for bed liners for 5th gens, so I gave it a try out of necessity.

My new truck has the factory spray in liner, which is nice but tough on the knees. Plus, cargo slides all over the place.

I knew I wanted a bed mat, and I like the BedRug because it’s very good quality and it has a ‘tailgate gap guard’ which prevents debris from getting down into the gap between the bed and tailgate. Plus it looks really good.

I have the bedrug with the impact liner and really like it. The install was a little work because I have the bed rail system and had to make the holes for the mounting bolts, but it turned out great.

I have been wanting to do this but was wondering if it would work with those rails that I also have. Now you have inspired me to do this. Any tips on making those holes In the carpet?

Didn’t physically do anything today but I did photoshop some desert style bumpers & 38” Toyos on 18” KMCs. The wheels & tires are something I plan on pulling the trigger on in the future because they’ll fit with my lift, but still undecided on the bumpers! Oh and the side exit exhaust lol. Only time will tell🤔 but I like making these visuals. 3CDD2002-80EF-4C2C-9CA2-570D423B0F0B.jpeg
