Hi, this is my first time on this forum and first time buying a truck. Tomorrow I'm taking delivery of my 2015 Ram 1500 Long Horn EcoDiesel. It's already modified with a lift and 37" tires. It was the dealership owner's demo. I'll get pictures of it tomorrow when I pick it up. Looking forward to doing some reading on the site.

Thanks guys. I'll take some good pictures of it tomorrow. I know it has a 4 inch BDS lift kit with FOX suspension. It also has air suspension which allows the truck to go up and down 4 inches for easier entry and exit.

Is this air suspension that raises the truck up and down an option from factory? Or is it something they added aftermarket?

I took delivery this afternoon. Here's the pics as promised.

I'm loving this truck. I'm used to german vehicles which in my opinion have very beautiful interiors. I'm very impressed by the interior in this truck. I'm heading to Windsor tomorrow and I have a feeling I'm going to love the 2.5 hour drive.

Now this truck has an air suspension that lifts and lowers the truck up about 4 inches. I believe it's called exit/entry. Is this something that came from the factory or is this a aftermarket modification? The dealer told me it was a pain in the a$$ to put in the BDS 4" lift and have air suspension. Is there any truth to this?

You should take pics at the different heights! And the air suspension is factory. The bds 4" lift is fairly new and your truck is the first I have seen to have it

I'm planning on painting the fender extenders flat black and getting the handles painted or wrapped flat black. I also plan on getting the ICI Magnum RT Steps. Does anyone know any retailers in Michigan that can order them and install them for me? I could install them myself at my farm but I can save on taxes at the border if they're installed stateside and just drive back across into Windsor.

Hi Csanders, I'll get some more pics tomorrow. Is BDS a reputable lift company?

Here's something interesting off BDS' website I just found.

1. The rack and pinion steering system is extremely sensative to an out-of -round or out-of-balance tire/wheel combination. The larger the tire and the less the backspacing, the more sensative the system becomes, causing minor steering wheel shimmy.
2. Not recommended for AWD models.
3. Stock 17" wheels can not be re-installed. Stock 20" can be reinstalled with factory tire.
4. Will not fit adjustable air suspension equipped models
5. This kit is FMVSS No.126 Compliant

Maybe my sales guy was being on the up and up about the BDS being a pain to install while keeping the factory air suspension.
