My brother sold his Chevy and got a ram 2500. Says he loves it. Says he will never buy Gm again. It's sad bc we grew up in a family that drove nothing but GM. I can't remember my parents driving anything but GM my whole life and they still do. At the age of 43 my brother was the first to buy a none GM truck haha. Now we are all sitting here looking at dodge like ....."hmmm.......maybe".

I spent $2500 on wheels and tires from Anthem Off Road. The tire shop contacted them to see about a fix. Anthem told them any generic gloss black touch up paint will work. Apparently that's how they fix wheels that have been damaged during shipping. I like the rims. I just can't recommend them due to the way they do business. The local tire shop says the rims are not damaged structurally. It was just the finish. So they just want to follow what Anthem said and use generic touch up paint to fix them.

When I first installed the wheels I assumed the TPSM I paid for were installed. I didn't get around to going to a tire place until a week or two after installing the wheels/tires to have them synced to my truck. That's when the tire shop told me there were no TPSM. Then I contacted the online store I purchased the rims/tires from. They had me email them a pic of the valve stems. They could tell from the pic the valvestems were not their TPSMs. That's when they informed me they F@cked up and sent me TPSMs and told me they would reimburse me for the install. Their return policy says once rims are driven on they can't be returned. I guess if you buy online take them straight to a tire shop to check for TPSM if you require a tool.

So this is kind of on topic off topic. I know there are a lot of wheel enthusiasts on this thread so I'm going to ask. I ordered rim/tire package online. Long story short...they sent the tires mounted and balanced but forgot to put the TPSM in the tires. I had already paid for them and they shipped them separately and told me to send them the install invoice. Still kind of defeats the purpose/incentive of buying a tire rim package online that's "bolt on ready". So, tire shop scratched 3 of my 4 brand new rims. The manager says he knows a guy that can airbrush it and fix them. Has anyone had rims fixed like this? Will the fix last? Thanks for any info. I apologize if this is in the wrong area. Just been on this thread a little recently.

I finally figured out how to get pics on here. This is a 3.5" lift with 305/55r/20 on 20x10 rims. BFgoodrich KO2s. They rub slightly at full lock in reverse.

Did that TPMS tool work for these trucks? In need of one myself.

I was also in the aviation field. I worked on helicopters in the Marine Corp at MCAS Miramar. My last aviation job was at Bradley international Air port in CT. I worked avionics on Bombardier Global Express aircrafts. State of the art beautiful aircrafts. The 6000s and 7000s had all glass cockpits. I'd post pictures but every time o do on this forum it says the files are too big. Since I've moved back to San Diego and work a different field. I do kind of miss planes though.

Got a 3.5" lift with 305/55r/20 BFGoodrich KO2s on 20x10 rims with a -24 offset. They rub slightly at full lock backing out of my driveway.

I installed the 3.5" RC kit. I have 305/55R/20 with -24 offset. The tires do rub a bit in full lock backing out of my driveway. Idk if this helps at all.

Thanks for these links. Great info spelled out.. Says for the 6112 ride height for a GM pick up is 1.8" and the 5100s has a lift height if 1.85". I was hoping to get a little more height out of these long awaited 6112s. So now I'm left with a spacer like kit......or risking a divorce after my wife sees the credit card statement after buying fox or kings .

I see a lot of people stating they went the lemon law route. For those of you that went that route, how was the outcome?

It's hard to say without seeing it, but I know some covers come with an additional strip of weather seal. They have you glue it to the actual bulk head that runs along the front of the bed. so when you close the cover the weather stripping on the cover panel meets the weather strip on the bulkhead running along the back cab window. Not sure if this would help your situation and close the corner gaps though. I'd try calling them. Maybe they have a fix or will send you weather stripping.

Both of those covers cost more than the SE (SE carries 400lbs cost $1199, HD carries 1600lbs cost $1599). A quick search shows me that roll n lock a series cost around $1500-1600 and tcusa around $1600-1700. so they would both be better suited being compared to the DB HD (1600lbs) due to pricing. The roll n lock according to their website will be damaged with only 120lbs on top of it. I believe DB covers could be considered having 4 locking points. Since there is a lock rod in each corner of the bed that pivots under the bed rails. As well as 4 clamps on the center panel.

All I know is everyone that has seen my DB cover could not believe how heavy duty it is. "Look at those heavy duty hinges", "that cover will last for ever". When I tell people it can hold 1600lbs on top they say "I believe just by looking at it".
