2021 RAM 3500 Tradesman | AEV Prospector | FWC Grandby

Will you be able to accommodate a like-sized spare?

AEV is producing a swing-away tire module that will integrate with their rear bumper and will handle 41" tires. I am the first in line.

Until then I gamble and maybe limp out using the 33" spare. Eventually I am planning to install a 30 gallon tank where the existing spare is once that space becomes available.

Just seeing a straight cab these days is worth something.

• 4” kinetic recovery strap
• 4” winch extension strap
• tree strap
• snatch block
• two 1” anchor shackles
• tire deflator
• gloves
• premium recovery bag

Nice kit but what a markup.

The truck turned out great @ramblinChet , I can't wait to see pics/video of it in the wild doing what it was built to do.

When AEV rebrands every product, it will definitely cost more.

Hmmm...I am confused since the Warn Heavy-Duty Epic Recovery Kit costs around 10% less but did not have the same list of components. I considered purchasing the Warn kit but it had the wrong sized shackles also and the quality didn't seem to be on par with AEV. For everything contained the AEV kit seems like a fair deal to me.

Please share the list of original components with me - I am curious to see how much AEV marked them up...

I wouldn't buy the Warn kit either, I prefer to pick and choose each individual item instead. I've put together a kit consisting of Warn, ARB, Crosby and Factor55 gear for far less. Granted it has been a few years back now, but it was well under $500.
