Magnaflow 14m. Should have spent a bit more to get something better.

Nothing wrong with mine. Get a lot of compliments on my Magnaflow. What don't you like about it? Just out of curiosity, everyone has their preferences.

Having personally listened to many of the different offerings out there for these Hemi trucks, I honestly felt like Carven and Magnaflow are the two best sounding.

After a lot of been there, installed that over the years, I am better at picking accessories so I am happy with everything on this truck so far. I will say with any modification if the phrase " its just as good as _____ but cheaper" is the reasoning, its probably not as good, other wise, _____ would go out of business. You get what you pay for usually holds true more often. Also, quick fix easy things like spacers rather than a lift are usually either a failure or a band aid for the real issue, you want a lifted truck. Then you have to spend more time and money to get the result you want.

Those ****** leveling kits. Busted both my ****** factory UCA's

Should've of listened to the guys on the forum, and installed shocks from the start.

How did you bust a UCA? How big was the leveling kit? I ask because I just put on a Rough Country 2.5" kit. I did a ton and I mean ton of research and no one said they had any problems with a UCA.

The problems with uca's popping ball joints really started in 2013

Biggest regret was buying a forged 5.7L rotating assembly instead of spending the extra money and getting a full stroker kit; that ties in with the bad idea of going to the F-1A Procharger, more boost = more problems so a stroker kit wouldn't require such high boost levels to make more power.

Spyder headlights. I'd be better off having someone run in front of my truck holding a lantern

El cheapo aftermarket black & chrome door handles.
(Purchased off eBay for around 20$/25$ each).
Had two of them break off when pulling my drivers door open in a rush.
Now I changed to oem chrome door handles.
(At least I can call myself now an expert in changing door handles - lol)

I guess it's like always - you get what you pay for.

not really a regret,but using neg offset wheels and 35 m/t's for winter tires are really making a mess on my truck.come spring i'm going to have to drop some ca$h and sort out both aftermarket sets and put new tpm's in the camper carry set and use the positive offset for winter.

there's a prime candidate for duplicolor custom spray wrap.

Air suspension leveling links on my 2016. I snapped the first sensor while making the new links, and snapped a second at a gas station trying to put the stock links back on while hooked to a trailer. $240 in new sensors, $60 in links. Back to stock and staying that way.

Whoever at Ram decided plastic sensors and links for the suspension would be a good idea on a $60K truck should be punched in the nuts.

I'm glad you mentioned that, my will stay stock. BTW, how did you get your signature so big? I love it.

I regret putting a leveling kit on my 2016 RAM just because someone told me that 33 inch tires would scrub without one. Now the 1300 I dropped on new tires looks ****** because they don't fill up the fender well.

sucks someone told you that being that the stock tires that come on those 20" wheels were 33" tires.

DRkNESS · Mar 15, 2017

^^^^. I feel your pain there as I know the tires im going with will look smaller on mine also. But I didn't want to have to do a ton of work to make 35" tires look at home.

kylecarver1985 · Mar 15, 2017

Yeah well I'm new to this and never really thought about pulling a tape on the stock ones. Guess I know better now. In my mind, rough terrain tires had to be "bigger" than stock ones. Ya live and learn lol

My gas mileage dropped so much with just going to these I would really hate to see what it would go to if I put 35's on there lol

And I went up to a 12.5 wide which still may scrub without a leveling kit. I'm not sure. I just know that the tires look to small on the truck.
