My 2022 3500 big horn night edition

[Dinky]

I used to have a 2014 1500. I needed a bigger truck for work and couldn't find a decent 3500 in my price range 2 years ago. I ended up with a chevy 3500HD wasn't bad but I missed driving a Ram. This year I had to buy a new truck for tax reasons once again could not wait lol. Spent awhile looking local market for a laramie but could not find one. Found a big horn with most the options I wanted and leather is not a deal breaker for me so I swooped it up. I was wanting a HO but I am still Definitely happy with this one it will pull anything I need for now.

We Get busy at work just after April so I need to get a lot of stuff add to my truck or wait till next winter lol. It has been a busy truck for the first 1500miles!

I had a lot into my last truck and wanted to get this one in shape as well. Been in the sheet metal trades for a long time and have been wrenching on cars since I can remember I enjoy making my truck different and mine.

 

[turkeybird56]

Yup, friggin the way to go if U have the skills

Had a 1.75in leveling kit install. Thuren springs, fox 2.0 shocks all the way around and thuren active sway bar.

Second phase to upgrading my front end. Added thurens King steering stabilizer and thurens track bar as well. Install was super easy nothing special. I was going to install a steering box brace as well but the one I bought would not work with my new sway bar. Back to the drawing board again lol.

Add some weather tech mud flaps and rough country rear fender liners.

Great looking truck! I really dig the service bed you had on your chevy!
Its been a goal of mine for a while to get a CCLB diesel and throw a flatbed on there with a moderate lift, I don't really need one just love the look!

EXCELLENT looking, I am looking to do the whole Rear Wheel Liner change, get away from the partial original OEM. Awaiting my Tax return money (wat lil there is), and plan on getting since an easy install and under $100.oo, lol.

Thank you. I still have it one of my crews drives it for work. The reason i did a flat bed was they crashed into the bed with my big flat bed truck lmao. New oem bed was $4200 painted installed and the flat bed was $5000 installed. It was a no brainer I liked having the flat bed it was nice with the side tool boxes. And the boxes are no taller than a standard bed rail.

It is really easy and fairly cheap. I went through some mud and the partial oem liners really pissed me off when cleaning my truck lol.

Yuppers, saw there was also a couple of You Tube Vids, just awaiting some $$$$$'s. POOR BOIRD I be, LOL.

So the rough country steering box brace did not work with aftermarket swaybar. Did some research and synergy steering box brace works just fine. Only took 30mins to install not bad, only thing I need to do now would be ball joints to make sure my whole front end is bullet proof. I'll wait till ball joints are gone before I replace those.

Nice! They are worth the money for sure. I have thuren rear leaf springs on the way and switch rear bags to daystar cradles. I have 17in wheels and tires should be here any minute.
