Default Advice needed on my '07 RAM 1500 SLT 4x4 w/pics

I bought this truck in January 2010 in stock condition. I've done so many modifications that I've lost track. It has a 6" Trailmaster lift, 35" Dick Cepek Mud Country tires on 17" Moto Metal wheels, Rhino liner, new black front and rear bumpers, Halo Headlights and LED third brake light, smoked out the tail lights because I haven't found an LED tail light that won't blind someone behind me. K&N cold air intake, Flowmaster Exhaust, BDS Steering stablizer, Lund sidesteps, Westin grille guard, PIAA fog lights, professionally tinted windows and decals.... This is a 2007 1500 SLT Big Horn with 33,000 miles. I'm thinking of selling it to get a 2500 and start all over. Any ideas as to what I might ask for it? I know I won't get what I have in it, but I also don't want to get ripped off. Everything on it is less than 6 months old. I live in upstate NY.

Thanks

Dude! How you like the Mud Countries? I've run Fun Country's for years and am thinkin' of replacing mine with the either the Mickey MTZs or the Mud Countries. Love the FCIIs but my truck ain't my daily driver no more and I can get a bit more aggressive with the tire now.


By the way, where abouts in upstate NY? I grew up in the Hudson Valley and spent many a time fishin' and huntin' up around the Liberty and Catskill area...

I love the Mud Country. It's the quietest tire I've ever run. A buddy of mine has the MTZ's and he's really happy with them. I think it's personal preference.

I live in Lindley, NY which is on the PA border about half way across the state. Nice country.

OK, I think I know where you are talking about. I played a couple seasons of ball out of Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, lot of games against Binghamton. I dated a chick out of Elmira for a while back in them days...

What did you paint your bumpers and grill with?

Yeah, I dunno. If I had to do it all over again, I woulda bought the 2500 for the SFA. I have had diesels, but I don't tourney bass fish anymore, so instead of logging 20k miles + a year on my truck like I used to, I average less than 8k now, so I saw no need in the CTD, but I prolly shoulda done the Hemi 2500.

I got $13k in mods on mine and even though it's an '04, I won't hit 50k miles before the end of the year, so I'd lose my a$$.

IMO you got a bad a$$ truck, if you don't NEED a 2500, keep it. If you tow/haul, put lots of miles on it or wanna go crazy high with big honkin' tires (which the CVs of an IFS won't handle) well then, go for it...
