What did you do TO your RAM today?

Added lift, tires, and wheels last week! Took it for 500 mile trip after. The Banks Pedal Monster is a MUST with the Hemi and 37’s!!

What gear ratio do you have and how bad have the 37’s affected mileage and performance? Have you calibrated your speedometer?

I can’t speak for the poster, but I did the math a couple years ago and 37s with 4.10 turns about 100 rpm difference at 60mph from stock 33.5s on 3.73s. Obviously there’s a weight impact, but gearing shouldn’t really be an issue if you have 4.10.

3.73’s. Not sure about mileage. Only miles I have now have been towing. The Pedal Monster took any of the sluggishness out. I plan on calibrating Speedo in next day or 2. It’s about 3-4 mph off.

Installed a Pro Clip phone mount. I originally scoffed at the idea of spending $70 on a phone mount but it’s actually amazing. May be the best thing I’ve done to the truck yet.

No more looking down to adjust Spotify or check the GPS.

Looks good, and the phone is bigger than the radio!

Nice to see they have something clip in now. I have an AMPS mount pro-clip in the truck and car both. truck is mounted to a bulletpoint base with RAM mounts. I have mine in the same approximate location, just further to the left and a little higher. Car pro-clip (2003 A6) is mounted to a (IIRC) Panavise base.
 
Installed the oem ramstep. I love how when it’s not in use you can hardly see it. Especially when you get a few steps back (see pic from further away).

Installed a Rokform mount on my dash. It uses a 3M adhesive strip to keep it on. Had it on my other truck for 3 years with no issue. If you're not familiar with the Rokform phone case, they are rock solid. They have a magnet on the back of the phone case which connects with the adjustable magnet on the mount.

Had a local shop put on the AEV bumper and brush guard. I’m happy with it. Might have to go Carli level and bigger tires next year, though. I think I have a disease, ha.

So, that cost what? 12? 13 dollars? Actually how much was the whole deal with a local installer if you are comfortable with saying and did they discuss "issues" or how the install went. I'm thinking about a similar build with a local shop. And I do know how much the bumper itself costs but, (drum roll please) the wife will agree to this as she likes big after market bumpers with winches...

I think all told it was $850 (oof) for the install. Definitely took them longer than they or I expected. Would I have liked to do it myself? Yes. Probably would have taken me twice as long, if I even had the time.
 
I installed an S&B cold air intake. Don't care too much about engine grumble or turbo whine, but trying to eek out some better fuel efficiency, especially while towing.

Thank you, much appreciated. Oof is right, but it is so nice and will last for the lifetime of the truck...
