New to the board, haven't seen anyone running:

I have a black 99 Dodge ram 4x4 short box regular cab 5.2 magnum, that is completely 100% factory original stock. Will this wheel/tire combo rub or have any issues with stock suspension.

P.S. I'm getting wheels/tires, gears, cai, tune etc etc when I make more money, just shopping around now as I just bought this truck and am out of cash now. I am not lifting or leveling the truck, I run through puddles and fields, no hardcore offroading, stock suspension is plenty good for me. Thanks for your help guys!

 

those tires will fit w/o rubbing. If you are planning on getting a CAI, get a Volant or 14x3 air cleaner.

 

take before and after pics!

 

Thanks for replying guys! I'll take some pictures of it before and after when I get the rims and tires for it, I was gonna go with a mopar 14x3 open air element, but I was gonna do the kegger mod (buying another manifold) and get a better throttle body for it and just assemble it all so its ready to go and make the swap one weekend when I have time. The cold reality of it is though that I'm a little short on cash, she has to wait to get her new sneakers, and some more power.

 

While you have the intake manifold off, you should change the cap+rotor, spark plugs, timing chain, water pump, oil change, and clean the engine bay.

 

If I got a mopar performance intake, would it improve performance any better than a modded kegger intake? Also, what causes the stock heads to crack, is this definitely going to happen or is it just a freak thing that happens to some people. I don't abuse the ***** out of my truck but I have a heavy right foot, if that helps.

 

You know, it really doesn't help sitting here 2-3 hours a day after I get home from work reading this and other sites. I bought the truck with the intention of adding headers and custom exhaust, push bar and step bars, an open element and a few other basics, but now the visions of cams and aftermarket heads and super tough transmissions start dancing around in my head. I have an 86 monte carlo ss thats for playing with. But I dunno if I can keep from tearing into this truck and fooling around. I swear its a sickness.

 

mine are american racing , but not like those, i like em.
