sweet =D, as far as the parts truck i know the truck somes with a parts truck, needs a door and the drive train either put in or it is misssing

 

looks like a decent deal for 2500 bucks.

 

Yea not bad of a deal, I am looking for a bogger or something I can roll and not care lol!! I love my dodge too much to do that but I did a ramcharger with 38 I can roll Or I found a jimmy k5 with 42 on...same deal

 

yeah i got a hold of the guy and hes coming down tomorrow afternoon to look at buying my car so so i plan on going down this Saturday after noon to pick up the lifted dodge and the parts truck, and my buddy wanted to work out with a deal that what ever parts i take off the parts truck and whats left he might be interested in trading me a 04 honda 400 ex for so we'll have to see where things go, i might even keep the parts truck for a winter beater

 

If you've got a big lifted truck, wouldn't you want that for winter?? lol...

 

if you lift, you would have to lengthen the DS, unless replaced the original with one that is too long. but as far as i know, the 5" kit doesnt require DS mods, but maybe because its a short wheelbase it will.

 

cold very well be, new to dodge trucks, decided to get outta the ricer cars and get somehting that i can actully drive over a pot hole in the road and not worry about loosing a bumper haha

i was told lifted trucks drive like camaro's on ice in the winter ???

 

Ok , looks like you got youself a good deal on a lifted rig..... With a parts truck !! Ask yourself what you wanna do with it ?? If you wanna actually WHEEL IT stay around 5 " - 7"to clear 37 -38'S, all suspension , no POS body lifts. The Ram will Amaze you in that trim. With a rear Locker or ever a stock Limited slip diff and a Cable actuated Posi lock for the front diff That Dodge will go a LOONG way! If you wanna just drive around on the road and try a get chicks? well do what ever you feel looks cool!
I've owened A '94 1500 like the one you wanna get , and All I can say Is It was the best ,and smartest thing to get when I was 20 years old. Its no longer a Daily driver, but a weekend warror!! And still going strong. If ya need any advice I may have an answer for ya .


FORK

 

Depends. Tires play a huge difference in winter driving, as does weight.

I run 4 80 pound bags of sand in the back of my truck right over the rear axle with A/T's, and it does great. My truck isn't lifted, though.

Obviously mud terrains won't be as good as studded snow tires. But still, you can get around. Just remember to drive a lot more careful. No need to show off your fancy truck to anybody (well, except us of course).

 

ok will do i'll keep that in mind, i just cant figure out why the drive drive shaft needs to be shortened unless the other transfer case that was put it was longer than stock and you would have to shorten the drive shaft to accomidate for that, but im countign down the days to get it saturaday if everything works out =D
