Default my new dodge!

Started with a power wagon when i was younger, then went to a dakota... now im up to a Ram.... Found this one for $5,950
99 Ram 1500, 118,000k on 5.9, 6k on rebuilt auto tranny. clean inside and out, never had a nicer truck than this. Drives like a dream compared to my previous rides.

Already has flowmaster, so i just need to do a lift and tires and im all good. The previous owner did haul a camper tailer around, so it kinda sags in the rear a little. I want to go 35" tires , so im thinking to go with the 2" spacer in front and 3" block in back... think that will clear 35"s ???

+1 on the AAL, you don't want to be stackin blocks. Good lookin truck though, I like that blue. And not to **** on your parade but if you want to run 35's and still have enough power for the street you need to think about re-gearing as well. And your probley still going to rub with that much lift so you may want to think about a bigger lift if your going to be wheeling it. Welcome to DF though!

I really wanted black... but settled for blue, im happy with what i got I think.

Not sure what gear it is now, didnt think to check that yet. In the morning ill crawl under and see if theres a tab on the rear.

Its either the 3.55 or 3.92. Most likely you have the 3.55's though.
