Talking Junkyards are the best

I was walking around my local chrysler only junkyard Tuesday looking for a bumper since someone backed into mine and I spotted a ram that sat a bit taller than the rest. I climbed my way over a few trucks and got looking underneath it and it had 5" skyjacker lift. The only thing wrong was one of the lower control arms was bent and the drop pitman arm was gone. I went up to the counter and asked how much. 200 bucks and they pulled it off. I sold my step dad my 3" lift and will be installing the 5" next weekend. I also ordered a set of 295 75 16 hankook dynapro mt's. Now I just need to figure out how to upload pics. Gotta love them bone yards.

So I just create the account and paste the code in the body of the message? The problem is I use my iPhone to get on here. Also what do y'all think a 5" lift will look like on 34's. I can't figure out what width wheel to go with. I'm getting the pacer 164u's but I'm not so good on back spacing and offsets. I just dont want to replace wheel bearings and balljoints every 6 months.

to go with the right width, 12.50 is a good area, but its all on how you want it to look...

dynapro mts re good tires but fall short in mud, they are not that good... from what ive seen...

nice fine by the way, there isnt even a dodg in most the ards around here

I didn't know either a 16x8 or 16x10. I can't find backspacing specs on the pacers. I was mainly wanting a tire that wasn't gonna wear down in 15000 miles. The dynapros got pretty good reviews and were the only mt in a 295 75 16. The yard I go to is an all chrysler,dodge,jeep yard. They've got a body lift I'm going to grab too.

Nice find! I found a 5" skyjacekr with dual front shock kit for $250 locally. I wish I would have bought it. Oh well. Great find and good luck. If you add the body lift you might wanna go with some larger tires

I remember I found my dual exhaust system with a flowmaster muffler for only 30 bucks. I'm always finding deals at my bone yard. They're where I go for peace and quite!
