Yeah I know. Once these cooper zeons are done I'll switch back to an oem wheel and a lighter street tire. These cooper's are great tires though I think they are going to last forever lol. They show basically no where at 15k miles.

When I first got the truck the plan was big tires, lift, etc. I soon changed my mind and am going the other way. I just can't afford to take a hit on the tires and wheels. So I'll wait until the tires are bald then change it up.

Also, keep in mind I'm a quad cab full size ram...

Now I don't know much about your truck but a 6.08 seems awful fast for a 4.7L dakota, especially the older 4.7L. My friend's 2011 RT ram barely does better than a 6 second 0 to 60.

R/T Rams are slow, lol.

My 06 Quad Cab with Sidewinder cam and 4.56s runs 0-60 in 5.2s on street tires. 8.527 @ 79.40 on a 1.91s 60' on 305/50/R20s.

My 12 Titan Crew Cab 2wd is right at 6.00s 0-60 and runs a 9.13 @ 73.95 on a 2.02s 60' on street tires

My 03 Dakota Club Cab 4.7 runs 0-60 in 6.2 with a 9.24 @ 77 on a 2.24s 60' time. Runs 0-60 practically in FIRST gear with its 3.55s and 31.5" tall tires. Stock torque converter as well. The Dakota runs with the Ram from a 30 mph roll, clear through 110 mph.

So.. what did you do about the throttle cables on that Ram? I have a BBK worked to 84mm on the way for my swap, and I'm not sure of how I will attach them..

Yea, whichever tool you end up using, keeping it from spinning is the hard part. I used an allen wrench, but it barely worked.
