Need help modding

[Pault9797]

I need help figuring out what mods to do, brand of the mods, and part numbers that would fit my truck. I do not have any mechanical background at all so all this is foreign to me. If anyone is interested in helping out please privately message me or talk to me on here. Thank you. Also I have a 2009 ram 1500 sport crew cab.

Interested in:
Bilstein 5100 adjustable front
Bilstein 5100 rear
Looking a muffler maybe magnaflow 18"
HID headlights
LED tail lights
LED lights in the bed
Tow hooks
Cold air intake - looking at k&n but now I heard about vararam

The Bilstein 5100 adjustable front are great for leveling the truck out, It isn't hard to install. Just time consuming, like 4 hour install for both.

The Bilstien rear are good but I can't imagine the shocks on your 09 are already bad enough to need them, You'll still notice a difference in ride quality but probably not major.
Maybe 2 hour install pretty easy to do it.

Magnaflow 18 is a great muffler. It isn't that loud in the cab and loud enough outside when youre on it for people to turn heads.

The K&N gets a lot of **** from people because "its a hot air intake" but I had it before my vararam and I personally prefer the k&n over the Vararam
On went with the vararam for the looks.

I have never had Hids to tell you about that.

All led tail lights are pretty much the same so it's really based on which ones you like.

Tow hooks can be add if you have the slot in the bumper for them and they are just bolt on. But may need some welding.

Amazon has some pretty cheap lead bed lights,

Thanks for the reply on the mods I was looking at!! Anyone else have any input or can help me with part numbers?

I can vouch for the Magnaflow 18", it's a great muffler and sounds real good with very minimal drone when cruising but definitely there when you step on it! When you said you want to add led bed lights, do you mean custom strips under the bed rails, or putting in leds In the 3rd brake light?

Yes I meant under the bed rails. It's just too dark under that tonneau cover for me to see at night and even sometimes in the day

I just put some in my 3rd brake light, so I don't know about the bed rails, but go to the exterior forum and search for them, there should be a few threads

All of the mods that you mentioned can be done with basic hand tools. The front bilsteins I would have a place do if you have no experience doing them or experience using a spring compressor. Les Schwab will do them for you and then you could get your alignment done at the same time.

See my signature, not hard to do, with limited skill.

I'm a tool maker so it was cake for me but it's not hard with no skill.
