Looks great! Do you have the part numbers by chance?

Nice pic on the Method NV305's, did you get the HD's? Took an extra month to get the HD's when I ordered them. Even worse, they scratched the same rim twice and had to replace twice. Needless to say it had taken 2 months to get the full set.

Looks like Falken Wildpeaks?
Took 2 months for my NV305 HD also and my 2.5 Fox's have been close to 4 months and still not here, everyone is on big back

Thank you for posting the pics. Been trying to decide which flaps to go with. I saw a post about the Weather tech ones hitting the factory boards, which is what I will have if truck ever gets built. Are the Husky's a no drill install like the Weather Techs?
Went on in about 10 minuets remover 3 fastener screws on the front and two on the back. Place the flap and put the screws back in. They use 3M tape on the inside of the wheel well to keep it from sagging time will tell if that works good enough or may look at adding a fastener there. but like the look and no problem at all with contact on the running boards.

I returned the BakFlip before it arrived as I heard they leak like crazy. I have a Diamondback arriving on March 1st, they say it will not leak at all. Pricey, but if it doesn't leak, I'll be happy and always wanted a bed cover I could put a load on top of.
After I installed mine, it did leak just a little near the cab and I had to put the weather stripping down that comes with the top. It will also leak by the tailgate unless you put some tailgate weather stripping there to seal the gaps. I can take some pics tomorrow and post them (of what I did) and the weather stripping that I used. It is very heavy duty. We have some huge gaps at our tailgates!

Mine leaked around the tailgate. Bought a tailgate weather strip kit off Amazon and now no leaks

When I trade in my 3500 I gave up the tri-fold cover which severed 1500 before, decide to a new one and found Diamondback, mine will arrive late March. Hope it good enough for it's price.

I have had my Ram 2500 for about 2.5 weeks now and I am loving it.

1st mod i did was add the soft opening tailgate strut. Nice addition!

I also put on some Westin Pro Traxx 5 side steps, wheel to wheel long bed. Makes it much easier for the wife and daughter get in (me too).

Added a 8.4 uconnect screen protector on.
+ A whole lot more to come. One important one is to add power tow mirrors, just need to locate correct part numbers...
Spray in bed liner, bed cover will follow soon after

Took 2 months for my NV305 HD also and my 2.5 Fox's have been close to 4 months and still not here, everyone is on big back
It's painful waiting months for the parts.

I did not. I wanted 20's this time around and the NV was not available in the HD with 20's. The load rating is 3640.
I'll be honest, not sure what factory 20" load rating is. I had method double standards on my 13 2500 with same load rating in 18" and it served me well.

Tires are 35x12.50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. So far I like them. I was not prepared for the amount of crap these would throw on the truck. I can live with that, but after spending the weekend at a ski resort with nothing but gravel roads on the premises I now have several rock chips on my flares...just above the xpel line:mad:

In home 3 weeks, only simple jobs on it:
OEM floor mats
OEM bed step
OEM rubber mud flaps
Kolpin Rhino grips in both side of Rambox.

A diamondback cover is under waiting.

Is there anyone upgrade the off-road package Ram2500 with leveling kits with new coil and Fox shocks? Is it really magically change it more comfortable?

pretty truck.

Yes, Swapping to fox shocks with IFP (internal floating piston) is better than the factory emulsion shocks.

Leveling kit doesn't change the spring rate or anything so no change to ride

I was planning on getting the firestone 5000 but I was on the fence with getting on board air. The only time I need them is when we pull our fifth wheel which would be 6-8 times a year at most.
Well worth it, put a fitting in the tank for a hose and you can air up your tires on truck or trailer when out on the road.

I just installed the Thuren coils, sway bar and Fox 2.0 shocks and it's big difference. The Thuren coils do make a big difference in ride quality.
