Just got the truck back with the 5.5 BDS kit installed. Went with 37x13.5x22 Nitto Ridge Grapps and 22x12 TIS 547b. First off the truck rides amazing, but has a little more axel hop then before so ill throw on a set of good arms out back soon. I also adjusted the TPMS and Wheels size using the AEV pro cal snap which was quick and easy. Next up is the pro charger as i know another member on another forum that just had his in the RD there under the knife so kits should be out soon! Love the way this rides compared to my 8 inch Mcgauphys 2017. Pretty sure i have the biggest 5th gen HEMI out there...

Just a courtesy FYI, you still have a 4.5 gen. There is still no word on when the 5th gen HDs will be out.

Any clue how difficult the exhaust modifications were to fit the drive shaft?

No worries. I had originally considered BDS but after reading through the install instructions, the exhaust modifications was enough to sway me elsewhere, as I'm not a welder.

Sure does look nice. I would imagine at this point, you need that procharger to get that big girl up and moving.

A video once that procharger is installed would be something I’d watch

Hi Rampaging. I just finished doing adjustments with the pro cal as well but it gave me a check engine light along with it. Did you have the same issue by chance?

Truck looks nice, but will the tires rub when they are stuffed up into the wheel wells from compressing the suspension?

Or does it not have any extra travel compared to the stock suspension?
