Sprucing up the Laramie

[MarshallGibson]

Ok guys,

So I recently purchased the sexy AF rig and I’m loving her. I never saw my self in a Dodge or a Ram. Now the wife has a Dodge and I have this sexy beast.
But mine didn’t come with running boards for my girls.
So since I bought her, I have installed a tonneau cover, shorty 13” antenna (nothing sacrificed), Husky mats and running boards.
Left to install:
Mopar CAI
Bed extender
Contour bug shield

But this is how she’s looking now. I would maybe consider tinting the front and maybe doing a 3” or so lift but then I won’t be able to put her in the garage.

Here’s a few more

Nice looking truck! Can't go wrong with tint especially if it matches the two back windows!

Looking good, maybe just a "leveling kit" so it fits in the garage. There will always be more... Thanks for the pictures.

Use some Bilstein and go up in the front solely..

Bought my 05 Ram Laramie in Dec. 2019 with 54,700 miles on it. Removed the chrome wheel well trim that was on it, and probably will do same with door Ram 1500 badge. Tons of extras were ordered by it's 1st owner and the thing is like new inside & out. New to this forum but am a MOPar person for a long time. Will detail other stuff later.

Nice looking rig I do like the older Gen front end they have nice lines, treat her good and you'll get another 100,000 miles on her, read here on what type and weight oil you could be using, and the oil filter W/ silicone anti drain back valve, and are those tow mirrors on it?

Thanks! Yes, they are the tow mirrors. Just ordered Redline 5W30 oil, but not sure what filter people are using. I used Mopar race filters on my drag car and never had a problem. any suggestions?

I use a SRT, pt.# 05038041 AA a little bigger in diameter with the electronic steering, it fits snug but no problem, with 5W30 Redline full synthetic

Where too buy SRT filters, and, I am starting with 5W20 for my 1st oil change and then it seems everyone recommends going to 5W30.

I bought my SRT from Amazon, and oil from Nick on here at gotexhaust.com he's on the Vendors tab.
