I saw a 2nd Gen Ram in town a while back with new 20's on it, looked really good. Also seen a pic or two on DF.

I thought about going to 20's, looked around on craigslist a bit but didn't see many available in this area.

Oh well, 17's it is.

Oh, and I've got to get an alignment done too. Same thing as your's. Gotta fix the passenger side ball joints first.

once i can find stock wheels or even some nice 16in aftermartket wheels i'm gonna do 265/75/16 or 285/75/16 at the biggest... i'm pretty much gonna convert it back to stock.. remove my brush gaurd, different side mark lights on it.. swap out my led tail lights for stock ones.. and such

there are 3 dodge rams in my town and mine being one of them that are dark green blacked out with brush gaurds... they all look the same and its pissing me off cause people call hey dude i just saw you what are doing at such and such...

so i figure a stock looking truck will be better plus i want to trade it in after winter for a 2007 duarmax

so i got my truck back from the shop today and the steering whell isnt as bad as it was but at times theres still some play. however it still handles a little different in the oposite direction. at the shop they put on a new/used axle hsg. my next step is to search for some info or threads on checking other components of the front end like by ball joints and such
