I gave my son my 1995 GMC K1500 a year ago. Although I have a 1980 Jeep CJ7 for hunting I started having pickup truck withdrawls. Some of you know I bought my first Ram last weekend. It is:

2003 Ram 1500
Reg CAb
4WD
Auto

Some of the parts on the way:

• Extang Trifecta tonneau
• Westin nerf bar
• CAmo seat cover
• Camo floor mat
• Camo Dash Cover
• Camo steering wheel cover
• Indoor/outdoor thermometer

Planned mods in the next month

• 2-3" lift
• 1.5" wheel spacers
• OEM fog lights

Long term mods

• 33" tires
• HID lights
• KC off road lights
• Superchip 3865 tuner

Question on the lift:

The one I am looking at has keys to reindex the torsion bars in the front and shackel lift in the back. Has anyone used these? Any comments on my selection from anyone?

Comments on the other mods or suggestions on more/different ones?

I orderedmost of the mods from AutoAnything. Anyone ever use them? Are they reputable? I normally ordered truck parts from JC Whitney but their shipping prices are out of control and AA gives free shipping with pricing that is close.

I am planning on using the Ram to tow my Jeep for the more intense hunting excursions.

 

So I guess you like to hunt, nothing wrong with that. I hunted for years. loved every minute of it. Ya got a good start for now. Why 33's with the lift youcould go 35's with ease. and they do fit stock wheels.

 

Worried about tires rubbing when turning. I was in the TireRac section and they said 33"s. Thin the 35's will work?

 

I know they would, specially with a three in ch lift, I can fit 35's with a 2 inch level!!

 

cool, glad I asked and you responded.

What do you know about using rear shackel's as opposed to the square lift blocks that go in between the spring and axle?
