Wow, that's alot of questions. First of sorry Frenchy, the other bumper is already painted...just waiting for the Fog kit to get here before I put it on. The grill cost me 120 to prep and paint...same for the bumper. I have the TM and the RC spacer's up front, the RC blocks in the back along with the RC shocks. The only thing performance wise that I don't have in the sig would be my Fastman TB. I think you can pretty much see the exterior mods from the pics though. The cap, the fog light kit, and putting the painted bumper on will be the last things for a little while though. The only other thing I think I might want to do in a couple months would be put in some KRC cams......but my wife's new neon is currently getting the upgrade treatment....new parts for that should be in Fri. or Sat....swing by the Neon section to see some pics!!

 

looks good my man

 

Yep, that's a seriously good looking truck!

How much did that ARE topper cost? How long did it take to order and get color matched? Do you like the clamps that hold it to the Bed? Is it easy on/off?

I'll be looking for a topper, and am just wondering what your decision criteria for the ARE model was over the competition (Leer/SnugTop). Was it Style, features, and/or price?

That "A.R.E. Z" looks awesome!

 

Do the RC shocks have longer travel to keep the rear end from topping out with the lift blocks? I've read that more than about an inch lift in the rear can cause the shocks to hit their upper travel limit on things like speed bumps and stuff.

Also, I see KRC has V6 cams for sale; but they don't specify 3.9 or 3.7...I take it since you're planning on putting one in, that they do have them available? If so, that's good news for me

 

That topper looks awesome....your truck's really looking great. Very nice.

 

The cap ran me 1800 bucks installed. Once I ordered it, it took about a week and a half to get to the cap dealer. Clamps are better than drilling holes in your truck! The reason why I decided on the ARE is because from what I have read and other's opinions, they are the best in the business....and the Z series quality and appearance wise in my opinion (even have it hooked up to my keyless entry).

As for the RC shocks...don't know much details about them....might want to contact RC with your questions.

And the cams...KRC doesn't list them specifically for our truck, but it is available....just email them.

 

Right on...thanks for the help.

 

Hmmm.. looks familiar

I Got mine when I was in Illinois and it cost more that... have you gotten the electronic pop-n-lock for the tailgate?

Great looking Dakota. Love the all black. Looks military tough.....

 

Hey good I suggested that being done before with RCXRaider (and a few random posts). But it'll only work with 2wd. I'm trying to see if I can combine a Rancho drop kit for the older gen on ours and maybe a TM and RC kit or Rancho Ram QL struts...

Good to see that it does work for 2wd. I'm curious to know how it's working with the limited control arm travel...with them drooping down that much your truck would need a little more backspace. When you got an alignment was it on the max edge with out needing shims?
