Quick little heads up - Dodge Off Road does make them, but does not sell them outside of their control arm kits.

As I really do not want to pay $117 for 2 cam bolts, I am considering contacting a US Dodge Dealership to see if they would be cheaper and if they would mail it to my US address where I get all my parts shipped.

So, got the new tires in! Ended up with General Grabber AT2s due to a shipping error - I didn't mind as I got some money back.

Just grabbed one off my buddies Dakota:

I'm thinking of going 16x8 with those size tires, but I don't want it to stick out TOO much

This gives me a little hope ;o)

I don't know what brand I'll go with, but I'll clearly be getting something to avoid issues with both rocks and the cops.

And since clearly I am not that tall and my truck is, I'll be ordering these:

http://www.n-fab.com/products/sfID1/.../productID/407

I think I like the six step better than the four!

Edit: Wow, won't be ordering from N-Fab though. $530 plus $125 to ship it to Maine. Meanwhile, on Amazon, same thing for $490 and $30 to ship.

Looks good! Right where mine used to sit if not a little farther under the truck than mine.
