idk how much u can tell in the pics, but in person there is a huge differance. in pics tires look the same, but you can definately tell their bigger and that the front end is way higher. its almost a full 2.5" higher than before, and the rear came up almost .5....ride is stiffer than stock, thus far it seems perfect. my alignment is still dead on. this is after i washed my truck, i did a little muddin today believe it or not. i spent 40 mins with the pressure washer, and only 5 in the mud if that lol. dont think ill do that too much. snow is fine, F mud

Damn your truck looks awesome!!!! I've been thinking more and more about doing a leveling kit on my truck and after seeing your's I just might do it.

Before I got my Dakota I looked at a Night Runner and almost went for it, but I wasn'tcrazy about having a black truck in AZ in the summer.

Very nice, the change in stance is very noticeable, tire size is a bit harder to tell from the pics but it's lookin better than ever. You have much more planned for the exterior or are you close to being done?

thanks guys! im still very excited, and your right, in the pics, its hard to tell a differance in tire size. in person there is quite a differance however. take for instance the before pic, look at the tires on the f250, their 285/75/16s and they dont look that big....in person though it is quite noticable. as for the stance its great, im lovin it. i feel like im actually in a truck now because im not lookin down the hood at an angle, its straight out. also, i didnt think about this, but the projection from my lights is WAY higher. im not complaining, but i just had my lows on (fogs were off) and had roughly 1/4 people flash me, literally. im sure they loved it when i quickly turned the fogs on, then the highs, and held the switch back so all high/low/and fogs were on. also, it stiffened up the front end a bit, which im very happy with. its not like an olds anymore. i am also not getting much tire noise. its hard to hear the tire noise over the wind, thats how quiet they are. overall, i am EXTREMELY happy. i was thinkin i wanted 1" blocks in back for a slight rake, but the rake is about .5" and i like it as is. no rear blocks for me.


edit
forgot to talk about future plans.....as for the exterior, i cant think of much. i def want to take off my taillight covers and niteshade them. maybe niteshade the 3rd brake light too. i also have some stock tow hooks sitting on my floor here in my room. i bought them from a guy, but i dont have the attachment to actually hook them up to the truck and i cant just buy that from dodge, the tow hook kit from dodge is 100, and if i were to have someone fab up the attachment, that would prob be pretty close as well. i may try to sell them then buy the kit from dodge. one thing i def want to do, is mount some low profile white led fog lights in the bed of my truck on a switch, that battery dome light crap doesnt cut it come the 1st of the year, i want to switch my interior dome lights to led....i will consider a black chrome billet grill if i can find a nice bolt over one, which i am still waiting on. the whole audio thing i just discussed in another thread which was very long, i wont retype it. i dont want to be almost done, because then ill be bored!!!! thats why i am slowly changing my mind and everyday i am considering doing audio even though i originally said i wouldnt. shoot, originally i said only thing i was doin to this truck was tint
