RamVillian's Build Thread

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and I'm loving it. It's so addicting. This is my third Ram, and I'm super proud of it. This sounds corny, but I consider it the dream truck I have always wanted and I can't wait to continue to improve it more and more.

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 4x4 Crew Cab Sport almost fully loaded. Unfortunately it didn't come with the backup camera. It also didn't come with the tonneau cover, but if I remember correctly it has everything else you can add to the Sport including air suspension. I plan on getting better pics in the next week. I am so excited to show it off that I wanted to go ahead and start a build thread. Also, I wanted to get this out there because of all the guys out there that have air suspension and want to lift their truck and throw on some mean looking 35's.

It's funny you say that because that's exactly what I'm going to do. Just the Ram and 1500 and leave on all of the other ones.

The plastidiped badges don't look right over the gloss black paint IMO. I think the only ones I'd leave on are the hemi and rear badge on tailgate. I'd leave the 4x4 chrome or take it off

This is at normal ride height mode (as far as the air suspension goes)

I agree. I'll start with Ram and 1500 and go from there.

Awesome

That bow rack is awesome!

Thanks man! I love it. It still allows plenty of space for people to sit back there too.

I know what ya mean. My last 2 rams were quad cab. I'm so spoiled with the crew, but if your not carrying passengers all the time the quad does have a decent amount of room.

Nice! I like the red.

Looks good man.

Truck looks great. Really diggin' the wheels setup you're running. So did you leave the red inserts in or take them back out?

I have left them out for now, and just rocking the all black look. I plan to start getting more red added. For instance my black ram sticker on the back window; I plan on getting another one just like it but outlined in red, and Im considering changing the horizontal chrome grill pieces to red. This weekend I'll add all of the red inserts to the wheels and take lots of pictures to show everyone what it looks like. Those inserts are like a candy red. I might get them painted to a little bit darker red. But we'll see how the pictures turn out. Thank you very much for the compliment.

Looks great!

I am looking to do the same thing when my Limited arrives (unfortunately with the air suspension...I sent you an email with a few questions).

One question here that may help others, I haven't seen anyone mention whether the air ride has rake.

Do you still have rake with just the 3" body lift?

The pics make it look like maybe it does have an inch or two of rake?

looking good.........

Hey man love your truck. I have a 14 crew cab and I wanna do the 3“ body lift like you got plus a leveling kit. How hard was it doing the body lift?
