thanks. The only other thing im think im going to ask you is how did your 15x10 rims fit over the brakes. I dont want to buy rims and find out that they dont fit. that would suck.

Also if you can it would be a big help. I was wondering if you could tell me exactly how many inches your truck is off the ground. ( from the bottom of the front bumper to the ground and from the rear tow hitch to the ground.) That would be a great help to me so i can see exactly how hi it is and if i can put in on in my garage or not. the 2 in leveling kit doesnt matter because i was going to do that anyway so you dont have to worry about that. THank a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No problem.

The 15 inch wheels fit perfectly.
I didn't have to grind the calipers or anything like that, If thats what you mean.

As far as actual truck height goes,

Up front.
From the bottom of the black spoiler to the ground is 24" But it was 27" to the bottom of the actual Front Bumper

The Rear was 22" from the bottom of my Rcvr hitch and 26 1/2 from the bottom of my rear bumper.

This was measured outside in my gravel driveway. It may be a little different in the garage on a level slab.

Good luck.....post picks.

I have a 97 ram that I put a 3" skyjacker lift on. It seems like the steering went all crazy as soon as I did the lift. Im not sure what it is but Im thinkin it may have to do with the axle being clocked down in the front. The only control arms the lift came with were the lower ones and they were the same length as the stock ones so I dont know if thats the problem or not. I really enjoy the 3" with 33" boggers so the steering problem is worth the joy i have from the lift and tires. BUT like every other off roader, I want MORE!! LOL Im now looking at the 7" long arm lift and some bigger meats. Just My $.02

how are those procomps. I was going to run super swampers but then i woke up and realized that im going to have to drive this thing on road more then off road (man that suck) and the super swampers will be loud as hell and probilly handle like crap. can you tell me basic things like. noise, handling, off road ability, tread were. i just want your opinion. i was looking into BFG's but i think the procomps are better.

YOu might as well get swampers as noisy as the ProComps are.... they just arent worth it to be honest... if you want MT's get Truxxus MT's or something like that or BFG mt's////
