Measuring from middle of wheelwell front to back on drivers side is about an 1.5 inches higher in back, passenger side is 2+inches front to back
But there is one thing I cannot figure out on the front… When I put the level kit in the drivers side sits 5/8+ of an inch higher then the passenger side… The springs seem to be seated correctly in the control arms it does frustrates me though because exactly what you see it appears to be higher I hate to take it apart again or I've contemplated going with a shorter level kit… But I do agree with the visual
Yes I got the rims for $150 with caps and Lugnuts

It's the typical dodge swagger lean.

Nice truck!! Raising it helps to proportion the length of the truck with the height. A toolbox in the bed helps that to look shorter also. I like the year too. What kind of gas mileage you get in that thing? With the mileage I get in my 5.9 I feel like I should have gone with the V10.

She looks great. Paint the bumper to match, you won't regret it.
