Hello everyone,
I am new here to the forum and new to Ram trucks. Just got a 2011 1500 I believe it is a sport trim model with the 5.7 Hemi. I'm using it as a daily driver but also to pull a travel trailer. I have a pretty decent list of mods. I am just looking for some feedback, discussion and any suggestions that people with more experience then me have with these trucks. I know a decent amount about cars in general and have a garage with a lift to do the work. The current list of mods I am thinking about are as follows:
-K&N cold air intake
-Pacesetter long tube headers with ceramic coating
-Mishimoto oil catch can
-Pedal Commander throttle controller
-Moes ported throttle bodies 87mm (not sure if this is the one im going with)
-Monroe adjustable air rear shock absorbers
-Front struts (haven't looked into these much, not sure if I need to replace these)
-Trailer brake controller (oem one is kind of expensive, aftermarket ones seem cheesy, not sure what I'll do)
-Gear change (big job to change both front and rear, questioning to add limited slip, do I add limited slip to front and rear, what gear do I do with.....)
-Nerf bars (too many options, only a cosmetic difference probably)
The truck had some aftermarket things when I got it, such as taunou cover (probably spelt that wrong), 10" android auto enabled radio (not sure if speakers are stock, will replace if they are will need suggestions), led lights everywhere, floor mats and fender flares.
I will try to respond to any thoughts and suggestions you guys have. Thanks so much.
