Future Plans for my truck
No prob and next pictures it will have a little mud on the tires, the next test is to see how much my gas mileage goes down i give it 1mpg decrease, or stay the same because there is no more spinning tires on every turn got to make these last a year
Looks great! Have you noticed much of a difference in accel?
OH, FYI your rear shocks should be just fine with the lift. Cause the stock 4x4 rams use the same rear shocks as the 2wd. And the 4x4 have 3inch blocks in the rear... So you should be fine on that. Atleast thats what ive found with my gas magnums and some others..

Yea thanks for the info, already found it out though and rear seems to do better after the lift than before it.
Lost a little accel but knew it was coming, still jumps up and goes though.
And surprizingly my speedo is not that far off which I am concerned that maybe the gps i used is messed up. It was only 2mph different at 50, will be taking my gps in my truck the next couple times just to get an idea of exactly how far off it is at different speeds

MODS PLEASE MOVE TO GENERAL DISSCUSSION AS THREAD WAS STARTED BEFORE THE NEW GENERAL DISSCUSSON SECTION WAS OPEN
Well havent posted on this thread because I kinda forgot about it, and have some updates that are months behind original plan(i blame this on work)
I have smoked halo projecters for headlights on my bed, all the parts needed to fix the bumper, and both front and rear bumpers, have also put different rims and tires on my truck(love the dakota m/t's and the soft 8's but already have 12k on the tires with a little over half tread left, and the set of rims and tires I got were free and I can burn through them then put the others back on).
Talked to the guys that are painting truck today settled on 1250 as being the price, basecoat/clearcoat, with some of the larger dings taken care of, he will strip the entire truck, needs it since the primer is sh^t(thanks dodge), and paint between the windows black same place the vinyl is, also going to color match handles, I thought it was a pretty good deal, and hopefully next monday it will be dropped off for the week
And while the truck is gone the toolbox will recieve its new color
Got some pics of the new to me rims

Well somebody hit my truck awhile back and between the parts new headlights and fogs, a rear bumper to replace my rusting one, and the paintjob it ended up costing me maybe $300 out of pocket, and my parents kinda made me get it repainted.
Regardless of how many chips and marks get on it, it will still look alot better than the fade job it hade before with a bunch of gray spots to make you wonder, and it will go the same places it went before maybe a tad bit slower and less unecessary donuts, plus I use it almost everyday for work.
