You should look into the visor LED light bar. We have a few of those on our unmarked units. They look sharp.

Yea i'm with you there i just have to figure out what i want? i do a lot of hwy driving so i have to take that into account. yet i'm still very tempted to go with a BFG TA KO. probably just a 285 70 17. and as far as wheels i would like some different ones but most defiantly they would have to be 2 things. and that is chrome because i don't wanna a ton of time in upkeep and 17 because i like to see more tire then i do rim. i used to have some 18" Procomp alum. wheels and i hate them so i just bought this stock set for the time being. oh and heres some pictures of my truck when i first got it the only thing i had done to it was tint and i didnt have time to take pics before that lol.

Sharp looking truck, I think it looks great now, but if you're gonna tinker... Get a set of Bilstein 5100 leveling shocks. If it's a TRX4, its .7 higher in the front than stock already, but still has a rake to it. The Bilsteins will let you level it out and improve the suspension. Then go with a more aggressive tire and rim.

If you're happy with the stance now, don't worry about the outside and start playing with performance. That Hemi will really sing with a few mods. 4.56 gears, torque converter, Cam, chip, long tube headers, and a functional hood CAI...

Default im not sure

i dont thank its a trx4 i just know that the factory decals i took off said 4x4 off road. and it has the additional skidplates under it. it had the tow hooks and came with a different set of wheels factory. i also know for sure that it does sit higher then a regular 2004 4x4 ram because a friend has one just like it and you can tell a big difference when there parked side by side

Yes sir, you definitely need a 2" level. 04 4wd? Crank your torsion bars....that oughta do it alright. Some nice wheels with some 33" Nitto tires oughta look real nice with a level...don't go with BFG's.....people on here don't really like them...lots of road noise and they wear out quickly from what I've heard. Nittos seem to be a DF favorite...let's see......you can always do engine mods...they make everyone happy.
