Or CAIs and TB spacers.

Honestly, the cupholder in the Ram is the best I've ever had. It holds everything, and nothing has ever spilled out of it. When I bought it, the spring on the passenger side adjuster was broken, not sure how the PO did that. I bought a replacement on eBay out of a 1999 and it works great. Needs a little WD40 as it squeaks when you open it, but someday I'll get around to that.

I will second that. These are hands down the best cupholders I've ever used in a vehicle. fit's anything you'd ever be drinking out of in a car, and mine's been tough so far.... I find myself using the rear cupholders quite often also, and they are handy as well. I'm definitely gonna get that geno's cupholder too though, that'd be the icing on the cake!

qspinny, how bad is yours broken? Is it just the hinge part? If so, a few people here have fixed it with wire, kinda like how tailgate cables work.... just somethin I thought of...

ramsport, how do you like the gino's? I just read on the site that you have to do some modifications to get the console to click closed?

The 'modification' consists of screwing the little pointy thing (technical term) out a bit so the latch can grab it. That's it.

Gotta agree with ya there. That, and my coffee cup/1 liter bottles do NOT stay in there...... I have some neat stains on my pants/dash/floor to demonstrate that little fact.

Whoever thought it was a good idea to put the cupholders way up there, needs to lay off whatever it was he was smoking at the time.
