Took delivery of my '19 Laramie Monday. Coming from an '04 Laramie there is a world of difference. I have ordered the bedliner, Husky mats and will get front tint next week.

I just put the hellwig sway bar on mine but I could not get the bolts to work with the provided mounting brackets because there was not enough space to tighten them down with the washers on so I reused the brackets off the factory one with the provided bushings. any one else have to do it this way and am I going to have any problems doing it this way.

I think I have the bug. The list is growing.

-Moved my tonneau cover from my 14 to my 19 as it was only a year old and still like new.

-Bought a bed rug / mat

-Got it ceramic coated after an unfortunate landscaping incident that caused some scratches, since fixed. They footed the bill for that and a little extra for the new stuff. ;)

-Replaced SS factory sidesteps with Black N-FABs

-Put in front and rear interior LED’s

-2” Readylift with UCA’s will be installed this Saturday

-Alignment Monday

-New Rims and Tires Tuesday

Hopefully nothing else! Lol. Alright, maybe tint the front side windows to match the rears. But I swear, that’s it! Lol.

You are good. Yes, tightening down the bolts was tight and they dig into the provided bracket. I also thought about reusing the factory brackets.

Had it for a month and have added:
  • Husky floor mats
  • Bed Rug full bed liner
  • American Tonneau tri-fold cover
  • Weston HDX Xtreme Nerf Side Steps
  • Pedal Commander
  • K&N air filter

Next will be bug shield.

At this rate, I'm going to be broke from here on out .
Oh well, can't take it with you .

I had the Ultra Flex tonneau cover ordered before taking delivery of the Ram. Followed soon after by Mopar side steps and then ceramic window tint. I am happy for now.
