De-Badging

Does anyone know of an easy way to get the badges off?
I got the 4x4 and the SLT off the tailgate, but having trouble getting the ram under the handle off. I don't even know if I want to attempt the ,
Ram3500
Heavy Duty
on the front doors!

I heating them up with a hair dryer, and prying them off, but I just don't want to dent anything, the glue is a real pain in the *** to remove too!

Use fishing line to cut between the badge and the truck. Then use the hair dryer to heat them up and peel it off.

I've been doing mine and I've been having the best luck just getting under the corner and slowly lifting. Used dental floss on the megacab badges and it cut them off quick but the tape was harder to remove. Got one set of door badges off yesterday by lifting and the tape came the badges clean and off the truck almost intact.
It may be that it is 112* out here

Thanks, glad to see I'm not the only one! I've got all of them off the tailgate, now I'm just wondering if I should take the ones off the front doors?
Should I do it?!
