In the heart of Alberta, where the terrain demands as much from a vehicle as the driver does, the standard factory build is often just a starting point. At our dealership, Redwater Dodge, we have evolved beyond the traditional showroom experience to become the official Home of Rig Ready Rams. Whether you are a local regular or new to the area, you have likely seen our work on the road, bold, lifted, and uniquely capable.
We aren't just selling trucks; we are engineering Rig Ready masterpieces. From heavy-duty diesels to versatile half-tons and rugged Jeep Wranglers, we provide a comprehensive, one-stop shop for high-performance vehicle customisation.
What sets a Rig Ready Ram apart? It starts with a vision. Our team, including Adrian at Redwater Dodge, our General Manager (GM), General Sales Manager (GSM), and our expert service department, hand-picks specific trim levels to build. We look at the lines of a Ram Rebel, the budget-friendly utility of an Express, or the refined luxury of a Limited, and we ask: "How can we make this better?"
Customisation is a collaborative process. While we often have pre-built inventory ready for a quick turnaround, we also specialise in bespoke customer builds. If you see a truck online that sparks an idea, or if you want to bring in your own current vehicle, we are here to pick and choose every component with you. From the initial lift kit selection to the final window tint, we ensure the finished product reflects your personality and your performance needs.
The most common question we receive is: "Who is actually building my truck?" In the world of customisation, "janky" work is far too common. Many shops outsource their builds to inexperienced workers to save on costs. At our dealership, we take a different path.
Our builds are handled by Laine and our senior technicians, many of whom boast over 20 years of experience in the industry. We don't believe a $120,000 truck should be a learning project for a teenager. We invest hundreds of hours into our builds because quality is non-negotiable. When you invest in a Rig Ready Ram, you are paying for the peace of mind that comes with professional-grade assembly.
A true Rig Ready Ram is defined by its stance. We offer everything from subtle leveling kits to aggressive high-clearance lift kits. We prioritize brands we trust because we know you’re spending your hard-earned money.
One of our primary partners is ReadyLIFT. Why? Because they are backed by an extensive network that ensures your warranty remains a priority. While we always aim to work through Chrysler for warranty claims, having a lift kit manufacturer that stands behind their parts adds an extra layer of protection for the owner.
If you can dream the colour, we can create it. Our local, five-star body shop handles all our colour matching in-house. We don't do "quick sprays." We send individual swatches and pieces of the truck to ensure the fenders, grilles, and bumpers match the factory paint perfectly.
For those who want to truly stand out, we offer full vehicle wraps. Whether you want a vibrant orange, a deep teal (a personal favourite of our team), or a sleek matte finish, the choice is yours. We can even customize your trim levels, ensuring that even a budget-friendly Express looks like a high-end showstopper.
A build isn't finished until the accessories are dialed in. We have partnered with Trigger Industries to provide the best-in-class heavy-duty mud flaps. These aren't your standard plastic flaps; they are built to last a lifetime and can be customised with our Rig Ready Ram logo and colour-matched to your truck.
Our in-house capabilities extend to:
Wheels and Tires: From specialty off-road wheels to quick-turnaround favourites.
Flares: Top brands like Bushwacker and Infuse.
Lighting and Tint: Custom-tinted taillights and professional window tinting.
Functionality: Window visors and high-quality tonneau covers to protect your gear.
Our commitment to you doesn't end when you drive off the lot. A custom-built truck requires specialized care. Every Rig Ready Ram is road-tested by the technician who built it. They take it home, drive it in real-world conditions, and ensure the alignment is straight and every bolt is torqued to spec.
Furthermore, we mandate a retorque service after your first 500 to 1,000 kilometres. This is a critical safety step where we re-examine the suspension, lube the components, and give the truck a professional cleaning. It’s all part of the five-star service that keeps our customers coming back.
While we love building on the latest models, our Rig Ready program is not limited to new inventory. We can build on used trucks as well. If you have a truck you already love but want to give it the Rig Ready treatment, our parts, service, and sales teams are ready to provide you with a quote and a roadmap for your customization.
At the end of the day, we are the best in the business because we do it all in-house, we do it with experience, and we don't let a truck leave until it is perfected.
Q1: Does a lift kit void my factory warranty?
A1: No. By using brands like ReadyLIFT and having the work performed by our certified technicians, we ensure your warranty coverage remains intact. In cases where Chrysler may not cover a specific modified part, the manufacturer of the kit often provides its own warranty.
Q2: How long does a custom build typically take?
A2: For trucks we have in stock, we often have them Rig Ready and available for sale within three weeks. For custom bespoke builds, the timeline depends on parts availability, but we pride ourselves on having the fastest turnaround times in Alberta.
Q3: Can I choose specific wheel brands not mentioned in the video?
A3: Absolutely. While we stock popular brands for quick turnaround, we can order specialty wheels from virtually any manufacturer to suit your specific style.
Q4: Do you ship Rig Ready Rams outside of Alberta?
A4: Yes! While we are a local favourite, we have fans of our "Rig Ready" channel across Canada. Contact our sales team for information on delivery and out-of-province inspections.
Q5: Why is the 500–1,000 km retorque so important?
A5: When a truck is lifted, the new components need time to settle under the weight of the vehicle and through road vibrations. A retorque ensures everything remains tight and safe, preventing premature wear on your suspension.
