    Educate me on winches

    I'm going to have to agree with most other people on staying away from harbor freight. Warn makes pretty inexpensive and respected winches, the smittybilt 8k I had on my old TJ was plenty and had no issues. Imo a reliable winch is worth the extra cost, depends on how much you think you'll use it...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I've been parking in this same spot for a year now, on my yard, and just got a ticket for being "on city right of way" smh. Only a $15 fine, so luckily parking over the curb won't cost me as much as the replacement 13"antenna I put on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hood looks like it's ready to fly off...

    Yeah I've noticed it as well w my truck especially after a 2k mi drive from Fl to WV. Seems odd for an aluminum hood to noticeably vibrate over the firewall where it's bolted Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2015 ram need alignment after new wheel and tire setup with -18 offset

    I don't remember the who but he thought a similar vibration was due to cv joint and dropped his bilsteins down from 2.8 to 2.1 hoping it would fix it. Turned out to be a bad tire, and your offset isn't that extreme imo. Good luck tho Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Exhausts?

    ^ been seeing a lot of positive Carven reviews here lately, but theres quite a few routes to go with exhausts. I'm a newer guy to the forums but after googling/reading every relevant thread and riding in a buddies ram who had one, I decided to go w an electric cutout exhaust. Depends what...

    Looking for recommendations on exhaust

    Have been driving with the 3" Racelands cutout exhaust w/ qtp electric valve for about a week now. With the 5.7 and open valve it growls, but having the ability to close it and send exhaust through stock mufflers is a nice feature. Out the door for $345 probably my favorite mod so far tbh Sent...

    I have $1500.00 left of my budget..

    My dad's Laramie has the electric folding steps, guess I'm younger so kinda anti nerf bar but I gotta say they're sleek. Also adds a bit of luxury to the truck that momma seemed to like lol Personally I'd go with the hood, but can't go wrong either way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leveling parts

    Ive heard different things regarding wheel backspacing/offset and relation to rubbing, added stress, etc. I took an educated risk when ordering wheels and tires because the internet was my only of automotive guidance lol. I prefer a little stance too, my advice is to just stay away from wheel...

    Leveling parts

    A spring compressor I'm pretty sure is all you really need regarding the Bilsteins if you're the one doing the labor. I have mine set to 2.8 but others on here will argue about added stress on joints, so go 2.1 if you want to play it safe. As for wheels and tires I'm with you on more rubber, go...

    Don't know what else to do

    IMO, w/ no budget since you haven't given one, I'd sell the stock wheels, take off the nerfbars, add a tool box, idk this thread feels like **** your truck lol. Personalization is what's cool to me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
