Wow, looks great. Can I ask the lift you did to make it work? We were told some spacers might be needed, but there seems to be some confusion on the 37" tire question on this vehicle at dealerships, depending on who one talks to :)

The color looks great though, and the black wheels pop nicely off of it.

Here’s a lil preview of how the 37s will look on your color choice! They will rub unless you get a lift!

Once you see your color choice in person, you’ll be hooked!

We went through Salt Lake Valley Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram on State Street. There was no mention of this being the Anniversary Edition, so I think it's just the regular 2023 392?

Thanks for the input on upgrades. Can I ask what side steps you got? We are actually looking for some now, but lots of options. Thanks in advance.

Here is what I got. They are quite sturdy, and not too bad to install.

Congrats and welcome to the 392 club!!! You'll have to get the Hemi Daddy t-shirt and 392 hat (ha ha). Just take care to keep the oil changed regularly, I'd say every 3,000 to 6,000 miles or 6 months, depending on how you drive. Those 392's like to stay lubricated. Too much squeaking or chirping, get the lifters checked out early on. Other than that, have a blast!

What is this Hemi Daddy tshirt that you speak of? ? Do they make a Hemi Momma? ?

Ha ha I have no t-shirt myself, my Jeep dealer just gave me a generic Jeep t-shirt that looked like a Dollar Tree reject. But you could get a Hemi daddy/momma shirt made up on ETSY somewhere. I actually haven’t seen either for sale anywhere. Maybe this could be an idea for someone crafty.

Someone needs to start pumping out 392 swag. I’d buy.

Thanks for the heads up on the oil changes. We are usually pretty good about that, but it's always good to know.

Is there a known issue with the lifters? Curious what people are seeing with this?

We would actually love to get some good swag, like hats or shirts. Might as well get something :)

Oh, the 6.4L 392 can be a temperamental mistress in the best of circumstances. You might hear chirps, squeaks, knocks, the national anthem, etc… Most have no problems, but if you get a very loud, nonstop Hemi tick, take it in early for diagnosis. The lifters are a known problem with the 392 Hemi. Plenty of youtube videos on it to make your skin crawl, but don't get all worked up. You’ll be fine. By the time your engine fails there won’t be any gas left anyway due to these 392’s (ha ha.)

Thanks for the heads up. I will keep an eye on it as we get the Jeep. But for now, just excited to get it and start trying it out. Gonna be a lot of fun :)

Congrats! You’re going to love it! It’s really amazing. People don’t understand until they’ve driven one.
I recommend these to everyone- Desert Does It seat jackers. I got the shorties bc I’m 5’8” but I think most guys get the standard size.
For me, all the other mods were for comfort or fun, not necessarily essential. Stock is perfect for my needs.
I just installed the DDI seat jackers on my 2019 Ram this week. Works well. Will probably order for our 392 when it arrives!

Hi there - I wanted to follow-up and see how the new seat jackers are working for you since your install?

We just got out 392 and are loving it, but I am finding the seats are not very comfortable. At 6'2" I am finding I don't have a ton of room for my legs.

I am curious to know if I will lose much leg room if I install them, and what your experience has been?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi there - Been a while, but I wanted to follow-up on the seat jackers you mentioned.

We just got out 392 and are loving it, but I am finding the seats are not very comfortable. They feel a bit forward feeling in my seat position, and very upright. Get a sore back at time when driving.

The seat jackers sound like a good idea, but At 6'2" I am finding I already don't have a ton of room for my legs around the steering wheel.

I am curious to know if I will lose much leg room if I install them, and what your experience has been?

Thanks in advance for your help.

At 6'2" you might want to check out the seat slammers on the Desertdoesit web site.
