    2019 Ram 3500 build thread

    I'd be interested to learn more about how they come up with those numbers. It does seem kind of arbitrary. I suspect that it's more about liability than engineering. Tires are rated at 3,970 a piece to that's not the limiting factor.

    Yep, it's 8.5 feet, same length as the stock bed. It definitely looks shorter though. I've had multiple comment on it.

    It might just be the angle of the picture but the bag sure looks close to the exhaust. Any worries?

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    I'm really not worried about the legality of it. I understand it's not ideal. In 25 years I have had one flat tire. I carry a patch/plug kit. I also carry a fire extinguisher even though I've never needed it. A fire extinguisher weighs a couple pounds and can be stowed under a seat. A 37"...

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    I should clarify-definitely not a donut. I mean just using the stock full size spare versus buying another aftermarket wheel with a 37" tire to match the size of the tires on the truck. Keeping the stock spare in the location under the bed where a 37" won't fit. I edited the thread title so...

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    It's a 2019 RAM 3500. It has automatic hubs so no manual disconnect.

    Spare tire smaller than the tires on the truck?

    Looking for the collective wisdom of the internet about not running a spare that matches the tire size on the truck. I'm considering just running the stock spare and if I get a flat I can run the stock spare on the front of the truck. If you aren't in 4 wheel drive and you have different size...

    Usually just toys. I really don't like the toyhauler campers on the market so was trying to find a way to avoid buying a toyhauler and still be able to haul dirt bikes/4 wheeler and all the other junk to camp and have a bumper pull camper trailer. I'm also in a constant state of remodeling the...

    The stock suspension was horrible. I couldn't wait to scrap it. Thuren has a bunch of options and you can do just the front for around $700. With a track bar and rear shocks I was at about $1,400. It works perfect for what I do. I'm not trying to keep up with Raptors in the desert. I'm 90%...

    Definitely. I thought you meant headlight issues from side to side not up and down.

    I added the Thuren adjustable track bar to help keep the axle centered. Haven't noticed any issues. No adaptive cruise control on my truck so didn't have to mess with that.

    2019 Ram 3500 build thread

    I love the functionality of it. Not having to lean over bedrails to get stuff out of the truck is way nice. I kind of wish I would have spent the extra coin for an aluminum one but they are like triple the cost. I'm starting to see surface rust on some spots. I'm sure it will take decades to...
