yes, from 35 to 13 in 10mins

Not bad. I don't air down too much as I don't off road much. I mainly carry a air compressor as I am on job sites a lot and someone always has a nail in their tire lol. I've had a number of flats myself always have a tire plug kit and air compressor.

Added magnets under tailgait access panel so when fixing things on the tailgate, screws etc… stay in place. It takes a T35 Torx bit.

This magnet in the tailgate mod, if I have factory bed liner can I remove that panel without a lot of fuss or does the liner stuff glue it down?

Well, I traded in my 2017 RAM 2500 Laramie that I had built out, sold my Four Wheel Camper Hawk and downgraded to a 2020 Rebel. I couldn't handle the rough ride anymore as a daily driver and wanted something that can still pull a small trailer but also be really comfortable as a daily driver. The Cummins on 37's and rough roads just wasn't cutting it anymore between noise and bouncing around. Overall really loving the new RAM designs and the huge ipad screen in the middle, but certainly miss the road presence of the bigger beast. I think I will miss the auto-down adjusting mirrors of the 2500 for backing up and the proximity keyless entry as the Rebel doesn't have them, but otherwise a really nice vehicle. Excited for the new one though!

If a spray-in liner… I’d just get a more powerful magnet but detaching the access panel may be difficult.

I added some Nfab rock sliders with removable steps and a trifold bed cover. Not as strong as White Knuckle but will work for me. Steps are very stout with no flex for my 300 lb frame. Only took about 2 hours to install. I used some JB weld to add 7/16 washers to inside slip nuts to help distribute weight better. I also added the trifold bed cover.

Finally worked the bugs out of my suspension and the weather cleared up! My wife wanted to go to the beach for the day so we went. All I can say I am very impressed with Thuren suspension products it definitely changes every aspect of the truck. For a long bed 3500 this thing can haul ass off road now and is pretty dang smooth. Even my daught in the car seat approved fast asleep lol.

Videos were shot with my cell phone so quality is ok.

My new phone is too long to fit "portrait" in my lower dash holder and a bit thick to fit "landscape" with the phone case. It still fits horizontally but it really stretches the holder and I'm not a fan on putting it in and getting it out sideways like that. There are two cable slots in the holder (I do not have the wireless RAMCharger option) which are too small to be an option to get under the phone and get it out of the holder, especially for my sausage fingers. Digging out my phone from the holder numerous times a day has become an unacceptable chore even though I've only been doing it for a few weeks.

I am also not a fan of having it above my dash. I had an old Android phone mounted on the lower left of my windshield as my gauges, which was out of the way.

Nowadays everyone has their cell phone mounted on the windshield in their face and it drives me nuts. A lot of them are streaming/binge watching brazenly and that drives me crazy.

In addition to not being above dash level I will never have a vent mount...ever. Add to that I am not a fan of suction cup mounts anywhere and my choices are very limited. It came down to the Pro Clip or Course Motorsports mounts.

After a lot of pondering and cogitation I chose the Course Motorsports mount with its metal construction (not plastic) and non-invasive mounting design (inserted in-between panel sections instead of clipped across seams). Yes, these point seem minor, but my OCD drives me to the finite details. I also put some small pieces of electrical tape on each side of the bend to further minimize any change of rubbing or scuffing by the mount (did I mention I'm OCD?).

I'm very happy with my choice and it was under $100 even with the Mag Safe mount for my iPhone (base mount is $40 plus whatever type of phone mount you want - magnetic, wireless charging, or Mag Safe):

The Rough Country lift kit, installed last summer, settled with the rear lower then the front, so I had a spacer kit installed to level it off, stance is now good. Another thing most guys with lifted trucks forget is to re-align your headlights, I see so many trucks blinding people on the roads.
Installed the OEM trailer brake controller, and programmed it with my trusty alfaOBD app and bypass connector.
