I traded my 13 Lone Star CC 4x4 in on this 14 a little over 2 months ago. I loved my 13 but lifts were expensive and I didn't really use the 4wd. I swapped into a 14 Express RC pretty loaded up and dropped my payment $75/month and I get better mpg and its a lot more fun with the 3.92's.
Month 1
I did the window tint. 30% front and 5% rear. AVS smoke in channel window visors and aerowrap deflector. Installed the hid:s from my 13 with a new low beam buld for thebprojector-6000k lows and 3000k fogs. Then waited for my refund from my GAP AMD extended warranty.
Month 2
Got my money.Picked up a used Trinity off Craigslist $400. Ordered the Maxtrac 4.5" lift with 3" rear coils. Got some 29x9" Ballistic Razorback wheels +12 front and -12 rear with 35x12.5" Federal Cougaria MT's. Center caps for lost with the lugs in shipping but the guys at MrWheelDeal refunded me for the lugs since I got some local and shipped out a second set of center caps within 24 hours. Also got a Spohn adj panhard bar(track bar). Now just trying to figure out what flares I want since the bushwhackers will be too big for my taste after I measured everything. Sold tge stock wheels and tires for $1000 the 1st day i listed them, i may have gotten a little nore if i waited but sometimes its a long wait.Here is a few pics for now I have to take some more since I just installed the center caps tonight after it got dark. A few before and after.

Nice truck for sure. That's probably the same one I'd get if I bought new.

I was actually looking for a Blue Streak, Cherry Red, or another True Blue Ram. This one just happened to have all the options I was looking for plus I liked the headlights, Led tails, and the fact it didn't have all the badges that I would have taken off anyway. The only other only that had similar options was a white RV and it was $500 more. So it was a easy decision since I didn't want to order and wait for one. This one only set me back $23,675 OTD.

It's not bad off-road. I mean I only lost the one wheel drive on the front. But the lift and 35" MT's seem to make up for it with the 3.92's and LSD.

I did have to replace one rear spring. Maxtrac got my replacement to me fast and got it in the day it arrived.
