You are going to have a brand new truck when you are done.

The problem with larger tires on a vehicle like that is the metal fender wheel well is not any larger. Since huge tires will never fit in the wheel wells (for many trucks, not just your Durango), people jack it up way tall. It will always look like a dorked over truck for the sake of larger tires, nothing fits right. I mentioned it because I'm a Jeep guy. In the Jeep world where larger tires are common, we would make the fender wells larger to accommodate the larger tires without lifting it ridiculously high. If you insist on the larger tires, a suspension lift, maybe with solid axle in front, is much better than 3" body lift. You gain zero off-road clearance with a body lift, since the frame is no higher.

I only mentioned all this on the chance you would reconsider. You apparently do not see what I see, or don't care about it, so enjoy your Durango.

Today the engine started the first time.
First started until oil pressure was, then let run about 10 minutes at increased speed, so that all hydraulic plunger vent well. Sounds really good, I'm very satisfied.
Unfortunately, the sound from the phone is played very poorly

Not at all. The number of views tells me that lots of folks are interested. Don't sweat the lack of comments. The fact that numerous folks are following your build tells me it's interesting.
