Congrats OP...jealous




I wish I had that option so at red lights I could see how close some of these idiots stop behind my bumper or even tailgate me..

Probably a good thing I don't have this option.

I would probably end up backing up on someone....not on accident.

Why? did they change the suspension since 2015? Or is it just because this one is new(er)?

It may just be the placebo effect but it seems to be more comfortable on the road. Plus I have the leather seats over cloth so maybe that helps the comfort level. But what really feels odd is the size...I mean two trucks, both 4x4, same 3.92 gears, but the truck feels HUGE inside. Sits higher too. I can't confirm it but to me, mom, kids, and wife...all say it feels bigger to them. idk

Thanks again guys! I love it!

This morning I installed the Carven Progressive kit, S&B Intake, Black front emblem, DeeZee tailgate assist. I need to install the black rear emblem too and I'm going to pull the tailpipes from the Magnaflow catback to this truck. I had the tips black powdercoated. So those tips will help the look and sound even more.

The interior won't be physically bigger that is placebo. But you could be right about height. There can be slight differences from the factory in height between 2 identical trucks. Also, your suspension is brand new

Yes sir! Black wheels (maybe powdercoat these), black nerf bars, Enlight HIDS, LED fogs, Some sort of tonno, tint front windows, maybe DRL mod to headlights, some more aggressive tires. Maybe Kicker/Mopar sub.

Sounds good. I think I want to do some audio mods to mine

So... I've got about 1 hour on the progressive carven exhaust and hate it. The question is what to do....I can return it to the eBay seller for a restocking fee and my own shipping or could I sale here for better deal. Going to lose over $100 isf I send back. Just don't like the sound and it's with factory tail pipes

Kinda shocked. Wonder how that sounds compared to a mufflex 14 inch? I have the mufflex and to me it sounds really good without being obnoxious

Question. Why the Sport over the Big Horn? I am looking into a new Ram truck and these are two of my choices I'm looking at. Thanks.

Maybe I'm getting old idk. It has the acceleration sound ofa flow master but with the muffled tone. Hard to explain. It's OK driving kinda. It's loud though. And the MDSsound is horrendous and loud. Going to reorder another MF kit. Can't do this.

I can't answer for the op, but I can say that the three rams I have owned(all sports basically) it is because of the color matching bumpers, and grill meaning a lot less chrome. Plus for me on the sport the interior is upgraded over the bighorn or slt.

Finally got rid of my big horn. Back in a sport. Loaded to the nines!! Only thing it don't have is ram boxes. Love this truck. The damn thing even has a button to turn on the back camera while driving!! WTF!!! And for some reason it feels so much bigger than the '15. My wife and mom and kids all said it looks bigger and sits bigger inside...idk....

BTW, Carven exhaust, black emblems, S&B intake, black tips-all ready to be installed [emoji14] But not in 32 degree rainy weather.
Congrats... but I'm sorry to say this, but I want to steal your hood from you lol... j/k j/k... Even though I just got a set of Custom-Built RetroFit Quads from RetroShop delivered yesterday, I also want to steal your headlights too LOL!!!

I'm just kidding, I'm happy with what I ordered but I have to say, DAMN! do the OEM Projectors look Sexy A.F. They look even better when JJ from RetroShop gets ahold of them and installs the Diode Dynamics LED Switchback Boards, Diode Dynamics Halo's & C-Ring's, Diode Dynamics 3157 Switchback Bulbs and a set of Clear Corners.... I wanted to have a set built like that from RetroShop and it was going to cost me $1,580 but if I spent that much on lights, I would have no money left over for other stuff I wanted. So instead I had JJ hook me up with a custom built set of Quads with some Diode Dynamics goodies in them [emoji6]. I should be installing them tomorrow, temperature and weather permitting [emoji35] [emoji35] [emoji35]

Yeah man! Looks good!! I haven't decided on the honeycomb grill unit yet...I do have one. I definitely want to do the wheels. I was thinking all black but make the strips (the spoke looking pieces) granite gray. Your truck looks great man!!

hahaha thanks!!! Yeah I truly love the sport look. I think it's the best looking tim they offer, my opinion of course. I have contemplated the LED circuit board in my lights (the switchbacks) so I could have DRL's. But not sure I want to do it. I do have my ENlight HID's otw. JJ does amazing work too, used him for years.

So I have to say...I've owned a '11, '12, '13, two 15s, now this 16 (I am retarded with trucks and picky)...and this Alpine system seems to be the worse off I've ever heard. Not sure what's going on. Usually I set my bass -2 but in this truck, the sound is just off. I'm wondering if its 180 phase out. The Highs are truly loud...like ALOT, and there is very little bass unless the sound is bass heavy then its like overkill. I find myself adjusting the bass per song, which is stupid. It's really odd....like there is a huge gap from highs and lows in the system unless the song is very bass heavy then the bass will overkill the highs. Any thoughts??

I wish their was a way to tag greygoose in here lol
