Default Ready for Winter

Got my new Winterforce snow tires on today mounted onto some '97 Ram chrome rimes. Altogether cost $380 (I love Kijiji)...

The camper shell was a garage sale find for $100 and was patriot blue...after a backyard spray job with rattle cans i think it came out surprisingly well...all I was after was a closer match than the blue, the clear buffed out real nice! I want to get the recon mini tailgate light for a third brake light up top.

Finally I installed the 2" leveling kit up front and extra leaf in the rear a couple weeks ago.

Enjoy the pics!

Looks good! I like the lift you got going on their! I saw you have a leveling kit on it from another thread, what did you do to the rear to raise it? body lift?

thanks...the rear is actually just a pair of 2' add-a-leafs from a local suspension shop. I don't care so much about the rake, just wanted a bit higher stance.

No problem, yea because i have the leveling kit, i just dont like the fact of it looking so much lower when i have stuff in the bed. If you dont mind, how much did that 2" add-a-leaf run you? and did you need to modify anything to do that?
