Shaved tail lights dont look to bad eaither. The you just have to put a LED Fire and Ice light bar under the tailgate. I think that would look sweet.

first off it is your truck do it how you want. Second I have been to enough car and truck shows over my years and lifted trucks that are shaved look bad *** too me. if you are not going to wheel with it i would shave everthing and rollpan it with exhaust notch or have the ram head cut into it and box the back of it and use that as tail lights

+1 on that. Personally, I'm not a fan of blinged out non functional 4x4s. But the mods you're describing would be sweet.

has anyone thought about how hard its gonna be to open the tailgate on that badboy once the hande is shaved. you would have to jump on to the bumper, reach in, unlatch it and jump back down before it will open. now imagine it with a roll pan. not worth the hastle IMO

Shaved taillights do not look good on these Rams IMO. Have you ever noticed the line that ia at the top of the taillights on the tailgate. If you shaved the taillights, that line would be just floating there.

I would really like to get my antenna shaved. Its broken anyway.
