It's crazy about how much different a regular cab weighs vs a crew. I get yours is factory, but still, I'm legit 1k more weight than you, which I would have not expected. I'm coming in at 8360lbs with 37s, toolbox, standard truck gear, a full tank and my fat ass (200lbs). I'd imagine that...

I have no experience with a mod/high truck topper, so I can't weigh in on why they are the bomb. I think the main reason you don't see a ton of them seems to be twofold as mentioned already. Let's face it, they look kinda goofy I'd imagine it creates challenges for low profile mounts of RTT...

A bigger tire will have far better small bump compliance than a small tire, assuming the wheels are the same, or about the same size. Fair point about MPG, and it can vary depending on the vehicle. My JKU hated my wide 35s, and I should have never put them on, they were the absolute wrong tire...

Good to know with the wider wheel. I think it's likely a combo of the wider wheel and the offset you're using for the wheels. Looks great!

I don't know how much more I can add that hasn't already been said, but I went through the trouble of reading 3+ pages of responses so I may as well weigh in. I'll note that you seem to be mostly/solely interested in HD trucks, so I'm gonna sidestep any mention of other mid/standard size trucks...

I'm fully of the belief that this boils down to the fact that RAM's answer to a 3/4 ton is to keep it under that 10,001lb reg limit. Ford/GM get around this by rating their 3/4 tons above 10k GVWR. The curb weights between the HD manufactures is basically identical, so it isn't like RAM is...

Appreciate the feedback all. I think I'm gonna lean toward switch pros as it will give me plenty of room for growth and doesn't look bad in terms of overall look and layout. Plus from the research I've done it's dead simple to install and wire, which is great.

I'm a bit of a noobie here so forgive me with the stupid follow up. My assumption here is that you mean that I should have a separate dedicated system for battery fuse block and all? My understanding is that since my truck is a diesel I can use the separate fuse block it came with, then wire it...

Hey all, looking for some feedback here before I pull the trigger one way or another. I'm looking to add some additional lighting and such to my 19 ram 2500. Pretty standard setup, off road lights/light bar up front, a-pillar ditch lights, rear backup lights, prob an air compressor and maybe a...

I'm surprised your rear end isn't sagging more. Those truck vaults are pretty heavy and combined with the topper you've gotta be close to 500lbs.

1. The AEV kit is a lift not a suspension system The AEV lift is, for all intents and purposes, a spacer lift. I have 0 interest in a spacer lift, or any lift for that matter. The priorities I have are a soft ride, additional travel, better flex. I get all three with a suspension system, I get...

I've got a 2019 2500 that I'm currently building out as a bit of a do it all rig. I love full sized trucks, I like the interior room and size overall, and it enables me to tow a travel trailer with my wife, 2 dogs, a one year old, and another planned, so I get where you're coming from. That...

I would say that I do quite enjoy my Kings, and find them a marked improvement over stock, and even over Thurens "Overland" shocks (which I consider an OEM +). I'd also try reaching out to AEV directly and seeing what recommendation they give.

You're gonna have to reach out to get something custom most likely. His front shocks may work without mods but the rear is 1" taller than his springs. I'd reach out to Thuren and ask if they can build you something special. I know AEV showcased those 8100s a year or two ago at SEMA, but I've not...

I'd add one more thing, why bother lifting the rear end up if your plan is to run 37s as the largest height tire? These 5th gens can run 37s from factory with the correct offset wheels with super minor trimming. I don't see what value you get from jacking the truck up 3" up front, 2" in the...

Agreed. His springs ride absolutely amazing but they are so soft that putting anything in the bed makes it sag. I think you're prob looking close to an inch for every 500lbs give or take. If you're gonna use soft ride springs then I think you're basically required to install bags or timbrens or...

Everything @Regcabguy recommended is pretty spot on. I've got no experience with hauling a camper with my 2500 but I know it pretty seriously raises the COG. I'd think you can prob get away with springs from carli or thuren in the front, but I would keep the rear stock for 100% sure. If you're...

Thuren is currently working on something for getting a 37 under there, you can see the tire hanging past the rear bumper in this video (). I'm not sure the status or if this is anywhere near final, I'd guess not but time will tell. You could probably make a 37 fit but it's gonna require some...

I would for sure. I would expect a little variation but a full inch seems excessive.

Seems odd that the pass side is almost a full inch taller. I was toying with doing the exact same thing you did here, love the idea of a softopper.
