<div class="bbWrapper">Beautiful truck. <br /> <br /> I installed Timber Grove bags on my 2500 to aid in 5er towing and they are great. Easy install and I didn’t feel the need for onboard air.

<div class="bbWrapper">Truck looks great. Front lift looks higher than 2&quot;. Good info here, thanks for sharing.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Long overdue for an update. I have just over 40k on the truck, and I have had the steering wheel controls go out no less than a dozen times. They have replaced the buttons, the clock spring, reprogrammed things, and finally replaced a harness and the entire wheel again. I am not confident the issue is fixed. In the past the attempted repairs lasted for anywhere from hours to months. Other than that, still love the truck. I&#039;ve had the BD squadron fogs sitting here forever, hope to get those installed this weekend.</div>

Have replaced clock spring and now cruise switch, hasn&#039;t fixed it. Shop is stumped. I can&#039;t access the dash menus and for some reason the backup alarm got turned on, super annoying.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">If changing components at the steering wheel end isn’t resolving the problem then I’d probably check the other end of the connections. My guess would be the CAN Bus block, but you’d need to check wiring diagrams (or ask <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/members/2576/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="2576" data-username="@Jimmy07">@Jimmy07</a>) to be sure.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The steering wheel thing is infuriating. The wheel has been replaced a few times, button assembly on face of the wheel, clock spring, harness.. <br /> <br /> Each time they confidently let me know the problem has been fixed. I have zero faith in the fact it has been resolved each time I leave the dealer. Just failed again last night. I&#039;ve only had the truck back for a week or so. <br /> Super annoyed.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Yesterday I had some Falken Wildpeak AT4w’s installed. My At3w’s were on my 20 2500 for 13k before it was totalled. The wheels and tires were moved to my 23, and I got another 43k out of them. I could have/would have squeezed out another 5k ..but I had the time yesterday and I dont like to push it in the winter months. Excellent tires, I highly recommend these. <br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/img_4212-jpeg.79735/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/79/79743-ea404349584039e0cfc6a785e60ba611.jpg?hash=8xVBRqVvJd" class="bbImage " style="" alt="IMG_4212.jpeg" title="IMG_4212.jpeg" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

I think I only had 48k on them, had some life left but same as you, heading into winter I can&#039;t run on almost worn out tires. I tend to get 2 winters on a set of tires, end up right around 50k on the tires after 2 years though I&#039;m driving my truck a bit less these days so we&#039;ll see.<br /> <br /> Do you have just a bit of poke with the +18? Need that offset to avoid rubbing? </div> <div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div> </div> </blockquote><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big Grin :D" data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I will try Lol.<br /> Thank you. Sounds like we have about the same tire change interval and plan. Yes, just a bit of poke. I&#039;ve had +18 on a few trucks with flares and its great. I have heard you may need it to avoid rubbing control arms. I had intended to mount the tires on my stock wheels but the tire shop wouldn&#039;t do 12.50 wide tires on stock wheels. I was already unsure if I wanted to keep stock wheels and that was all I needed to hear to push me that direction.<br /> ON a truck without flares, its too much poke for me. I couldn&#039;t drive the truck on wet roads at all without slinging crap all over the sides. I had the +18 for less than a week on my 2013 before adding flares to help keep the sides of the truck clean. This pic may help illustrate how much poke..<br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/ram22-jpg.79751/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/79/79759-2889385d2071b18d20240bc3966f1e17.jpg?hash=L-0aDCFsd8" class="bbImage " style="" alt="ram22.jpg" title="ram22.jpg" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a></div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Ok thanks. Our factory flares don&#039;t exactly flare a whole lot, but I just bought 285/65-20&#039;s so only 11.2&quot; wide. Your wheels look SO much better than stock.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://hdrams.com/forum/attachments/241112-ram-2500-new-tires-jpeg.79752/" target="_blank"><img src="https://hdrams.com/forum/data/attachments/79/79760-e9b0d3b694e604969e644ef94e061582.jpg?hash=dLG3iTm3i9" class="bbImage " style="" alt="241112 Ram 2500 New Tires.jpeg" title="241112 Ram 2500 New Tires.jpeg" width="200" height="150" loading="lazy" /></a></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Was the BD light bar a relatively easy install? Toss a significant amount of light even mounted behind the lower grill?</div>
