Finally after selling the Dmax, I'm back in a Cummingz! Its a 2015 Laramie 3500 (leaves in the rear). I chose it after driving both and liked the leaf spring ride better, although stiff. project tow pig commence!

Congrats! Nice rig.

Where's the front fender flare?

Mudn_1 · 02-28-2015, 10:09 PM

, it was a screw up at the dealership, they didnt even notice until I pointed it out... They have the Front flares ordered and are going to install them and remote start...

Big Swole · 03-01-2015, 08:55 AM

Does your power steps come with the third linkage? If not get your dealer to order them as the distance between supports is to far from each other and it is almost impossible to get the boards to operate smoothly. Just my experience after spending hours on my back trying to get them to work without sagging or binding.

I see what you mean now... The rear of both steps sags a bit.... the front is nice and tight. they work smoothly though...

B_Bail · 03-21-2015, 05:24 PM

If its a tow pig get a set of regular old airbags and get a set of Daystar airbag cradles under them so you get a plush street ride without engaging the bags when unloaded.

Ghostknife · 04-05-2015, 04:43 PM

Thanks for the tip on the cradles, now I have to order some. You will love the Thuren coils!

ISBand4BT · 04-05-2015, 06:24 PM

How are you doing efi delete on a 15?

GSM-01 · 04-06-2015, 01:12 AM

Let us know how the novakanes work. I just ordered my 2015 two weeks ago. Want to put 20x9 BMF REPR rims on it and 35s. Be interested to know bow high I got to go to fit them.

AHall · 04-06-2015, 01:39 AM

Familiar looking truck. You're gonna love it.

Mudn_1 · 05-04-2015, 05:22 PM

Some Updates: I installed the novakanes and sold them 2 days later and picked up some 20x10 Rehabs. Thuren Coils and Carli Min-leafs W/ overland shocks on. Tint Done, GN done. De-Badged. Stupid Chrome Trim Tail Lights are Gone, Black appearance Group Headlights are on the way and Diode Dynamics Reverse Light bulbs and Bed Lights and damn they are bright!

This thing Rides and Drives amazing compared to stock. Its Still Stiff but it soaks the big stuff up and there is no more slight vibration from rough roads. I cant wait to get it deleted, but its also so quiet....A few Pics

Yes, Hence the Reason I said they were "on the way"...lol

diesel_importer · 05-05-2015, 08:09 AM

Looking good. Do the Thuren coils push the tire rearward just like spacers. I don't see how they wouldn't, but thought I would ask
