Over 3"s is time to think about arms. And most all the brands you look at make them and include them in the kit as HeyYou has stated.

I don't believe the "black" thing is overdone, at least around here it isn't.
Maybe that's because I O'd on the chrome thing back in the day...
Or I don't care about trends...

Any dark color on white provides contrast, any light color provides shading and anything shiny makes it appear brighter.
Good luck finding your personal balance.
Long arm kits are still around, but not as easy to find as when these trucks were new. Your selection will depend on whether or not you want to permanently modify your vehicle.

Chrome. Black is cool on white, but I would do chrome. As long as you don't go nuts with the chrome your truck will look sweet. Black rims on a white truck is just plain ugly I'm sorry.

Black all day, especially on a white dodge. That's the best you can get. I would start off with window tint then black out the tail lights, or get aftermarket smoked tail lights. then halo projector smoked out headlights, then some hid bulbs, then a sweet black grille, black creagor soft 8's from summit. Or if you can afford it get Rockstars that would look great.

I went with black on my truck. I did this not because it was the "trend" but its what I personally like the best. Im not a big fan of chrome at all. My vote is on black
