Better check your motor out, may just be a 318, badged as an R/T. And I saw the rims on ebay for 400 for the pair. I didnt waste my money on them, i'd rather get HO Cams or something else first.

r/ts have a better suspension,theyre lower to the ground, and they have more power

Those tail lights would look good. I dont know if you want carbon fiber look, or ones that will stand out like the ones on my WHITE Dak.

Hmm... I dont know if you want this or not, but I think having a shaved Tailgate and Roll pan would look good... Thats MY next upgrade after Limo tint.

Holy ****, I was looking for a shaved Tailgate, and I saw this. 10.5k... 2 grand more than I paid... With Airbags and... Everything... Look: http://www.mautofied.com/listing-100015849.htm

I agree - doesn't look like it has the R/T lowered suspension. And is it my imagination, or is the "5.9" badge on the tailgate slightly crooked? (like it was added aftermarket) It's tough to tell in that photo.

Hmm... Interesting. The height is correct for a stock R/T. My suspension is stock, and it sits that high. Remember, visually the R/T only sits one inch lower than a regular dak from the factory, so its kinda hard to judge by the height. However, the rims and the angle of the photo making the R/T decal look crooked are factors.

He said it was a salvage. If this is true, the original owner that wrecked the truck probably parted out what he could, including the R/T rims, and then sold the truck. Then, assuming he got it at a dealer, they probably bought the cheapest rims they could put on it.
