@carlrx7 I picked it up from Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L4ADMTG. That was the cheapest I could find it. It is OEM Mopar.

Thanks. after looking underneath at the spare, i don't think this will stop someone with cable cutters. Going to try this Trimax-Trimaflex-Spare-Cable-Round. If i can keep the cable within the rim, a thief might pass.

People stealing spares is a thing?

Exactly my question!
It's kind of like how I never worried about someone stealing or tampering with my fuel. Then when everyone started talking about it and posting pics of the genos locking caps, we were all placing orders. I've seen that one on the mopar site forever now and never even gave it a second thought, was just like does anybody buy that stuff, well I guess they do. I have a hard enough time getting the little square pipe on the gear to lower wheel, I'd never make a good tire thief.

Me too, I’d look under there one day...son of bitch...I’d then probably blame myself and wonder what the hell I did with it.

One loss-prevention measure for your spare.

The bilstein 5100s ride quite a bit smoother, more small bump compliance for sure over stock.

And that also takes care of the 5th wheel issues with the truck being too tall!

Was surprised RAM was behind the times with the spare tire lock thing. My 2016 Silverado 1500 had a lock cylinder blocking the spare access that was keyed to the driver key.
The truck I have will steer itself back straight again, but a spare lock was too much to ask haha.

Up here in Canucklstien a lock under there would turn in to a red ball of iron pretty quick. The spare tire mounts rust off and the spares go a bouncing down the road!
Thats exactly how it was when we lived in Michigan for 20 yrs. Anything below the door handles, plan on it rusting out from salt in a few years time. You couldn't work on anything underneath with out having to cut it offUp here in Canucklstien a lock under there would turn in to a red ball of iron pretty quick. The spare tire mounts rust off and the spares go a bouncing down the road!

Off-topic warning!
Out here in California, we just have to worry about the truck melting because of a forest fire, or falling into a crevasse because of an earthquake!
