I want to do it but im not sure if their are holes behind the badges or if they are just stuck on with glue, doube sided tape ect. ect.... But if you can help me out in anyway, it would be greatly appretiated!

It's not hard to do. Use a blowdryer on the badge to heat up the glue, then run a piece of dental floss behind it to pull it off.

No, but the paint won't be faded at all, so depending on how the rest of the truck looks you might be able to tell.

yeah i looks badass when its debadged. i just put a buffer to the spot where the emblems were and left it on there for a good bit and now its virtually imposible to tell. if u kneel down and look up u can notice a bit but whos gonna do that? the laramie ones are worse than the ram symbols. they leave a square whenu take them off i think im gonna try to polish em off. im also working on the pinstriping and 4x4 symbol

A heat gun and a plastic scraper works well to remove emblems and decals.

I took mine off a year ago but couldn't get the glue off. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the hard dry glue off? I'm thinking maybe wetsanding or something like that.
