I wonder if those tie down rings will work with the rambox rails and if so where to buy them?

I’m not sure if they would work or not. Oh have never seen the ram box rails. You can buy them on Amazon, they are not the cheapest for what they are 2 for 40.

Tie downs

Looks fantastic. Which size Thuren springs are these? I am running Thuren on all four corners, but only have +1" in the front and -.5" rear. Consider going to 2" fronts and back to the factory in the rear. Same size tires and wheel specs - feel like yours looks perfect.

I did the 2.75” as I was worried with the weight of the mega cab that they would settle to less than that. The front does sit about 1/4” high, so looking at maybe shimming the rear, but it’s really only noticeable when parked on an incline/decline.
 
Replaced brakes at 94.5k miles. first brake job on the truck. bought brakes and after close to 20k towing, plus baltimore / washington traffic, i figured i was long overdue.

pulled brakes an was like..... uh yea they were good. well replaced them anyhow since i had them and i tow heavy. Also installed the ATS trans Bypass. trans temps went from 170 to 138-145. interesting.

Spring Bath. Wife vacuumed the interior, interior datailer on the dash and doors, cleaned windows. I power washed the underside, then the exterior and bed, detailer on the tires. Put it away then pulled it out this morning and detailer on the outside. I use Lucas Oil Slick Mist detailers. Great stuff.
 
Headed to the parents in Austin TX for a couple days to pick up a generator, everything around where I live "Marietta OK" is sold out after the tornados. Installed my Lomax cover while there and props to mom for the quick eyeball table-saw cut on the tailgate cover so the Lomax would fit flush with the tailgate closed. Came home and installed my Thuren V2 boogie bump stops.

Lomax bedcovers are the best for sure. Had one on my last truck.
 
Installed a Bakflip cover after a different cover got damaged while driving in high winds. Really like it so far, seems very secure. Also used the occasion to clear out all of the debris that had been accumulating under the mat and gave the bed and mat a quick wash, long overdue.

Removed the bds dual stabilizer and Installed the Carli track bar and lower stabilizer.
Did notice that the axle side bolt hole has a C-hair of wear so the bolt moves a tiny bit compared to the hole in the thuren frame track bar mount, but it's not egged shaped like stuff I've seen online. So hopefully I don't need to weld it or weld washers on. I'll have it keep an eye on it. Torqued it to carlis spec and a little more + blue loctite. Just paranoid with up coming trip to the Arctic in June. Pardon the rust / mud haven't gotten round to cleaning it up and spraying it black.

Dropped my truck off at the local Dodge dealer for correction of three recalls. Dropped off a box of fresh donuts at check in and asked if it was possible to add the code for remote start. I was told it would be a $250 service fee. I responded to skip that and I would take care of it myself. Dropped the truck off at 0745 and the truck will not be ready till sometime tomorrow. I will not be dropping off another box of donuts when I pick up the truck!

Kit Search - Airide Automotive Aftermarket

i pretty much know what i did wrong. i was lazy and used cutters to cut the line rather then a good blade. so they are likly squished rather then round. once i get the check valve ill verify each connection. the one that will suck is the one that goes into the bags as my fingers may be too fat to get in there lol. but thats thankfully just 2 bolts to undo per side. its a very slow leak so i can put 10 lbs in and in like 12 hours its down to say 5lbs.

i can fix it but its a monsoon for the next 3 days so ill likly get to it this weekend when its nice out.

Curious about where you mounted the air compressor for this kit? I'd like to install it inside the cab and away from the elements installing it under the truck which I'm certain will shorten the life of it considerably, especially for me living in the rainy part of the PacNW.
