I had a really bad experience with them. Purchased the guards for two diff vehicles. Strung me along for months and never sent. Eventually sent one set for the st. They are generic and not st specific and are more for the cf look on the vehicle. I would recommend to stay clear of them.
Asked and answered. :)

My Diode Dynamics Hitch Reverse light came in today. Super impressed! Probably gonna unpin the wire for the running light so it only functions in reverse.

That’s super cool! I had read elsewhere in here that it wasn’t possible to make a hitch light work with the stock wiring for some reason. I guess that was wrong.

If its got a standard 7pin round hitch plug it works perfect. Plugs right in, took 2 minutes!

You get the trailer attached warning every time you start the car?

I’m very interested. Thanks for being the Guinea pig.

Given my limited abilities, I crawled under to survey the situation. Installing the wiring harness will be a cinch with one potential issue. At least on my 2021, there appears to be very little space between the rear of the trailer hitch and the spare tire pan. I wonder whether there’s enough room to pass the cable (with the orange connector) into the rear of the hitch.

Did you encounter such a limited space?

Mine is also a 2021, there is just enough room to get it in there. I just used a small pick hook to fish the wire through the hitch, tie wrapped the excess wire to a lenght just enough to unplug it. I did put some felt in around it to snug up the fit.

At first I thought this was an up-dated version of the White Night lamps that enable better vision when connecting a trailer. I had that on my Ram and love it. I'll have to do some thinnin' 'bout this.

Installed red AWR differential. Have to say the top bolt on the differential was a PITA. But im happy love the bulky red look.

Installed a CVFab Intercooler Sunday morning. Didn’t stop to take any pics. Install was pretty straight forward and easy.

Seems to pull a little harder in the upper rpm range. Definitely want to get tuned so I can take full advantage of the IC but overall really happy with it so far.
