Yup, TB spacers are useless for any engine in any Chrysler truck (Ram or Dakota) since the early 1990s, maybe earlier.

Its the Inside tire loosing traction and spins then grips then spins. Im 99% sure I dont have LSD.

I would love to get my hands on those door panels.
Then Entry Guards, Id just Bed liner that area personally. But I have a black truck so you wouldnt notice it. Altho I do like those Sill Guards.
The Mud Guards are EASY to install, Even easier if you want to remove the tire.
Then I hate that 3rd brake light, Its just a Vinyl Decal Cover I believe. I went with a LED 3rd Brake Light. Im pretty sure Gen2 Lights work aswell.
Mine hops even when I reverse in a good amount on concrete. I have 4 wheel lock on my 4x4 switch like most.

Which door panels? The black ones?

I'd rather do the whole bed, just to be safe.

Rear splash guards I painted body color as well:



Good idea for a bedstripe:

Yeah, that looks sweet! Good job on that. I don't have a R/T, SLT. So I might get Dakota, but still can't figure it out. I love that Bed Stripe. Is that yours?
