take in count my Jeep.. I went from a 32in tire to a 35.. i was about 10k off on speedo.. after up grading to 4.88 gears.. i was almost back to nornmal..
When you match the proper gears with the proper tire size it all works together.. So no i,m not wrong...
Im pretty sure gears do nothing as far a speedo in our trucks. Maybe in a jeep, but not in a Ram

Im not putting that much money into it. Other than the cost of tires, I really havent put that much money into this truck. Despite what anyone says, it has raised the value of the truck if I sell private party (to some rich kid or oil field worker). And I was actually looking into buying my friends 2SS from him with 7k miles but the inital cost of the car is just half of the issue. My truck IS paid off, but insurance is still over $200/month. A car note on top of that AND a second car's insurance/gas will be like a week's check after taxes probably.

And who knows what ill do really. I was planning on selling this last summer, looking at trucks a month ago, and am only in my second week of work (real work).

I hate the 2nd gens. Look wise that is, I know they are great trucks. Minus the fuel costs lol. Just my personal taste, im not overly crazy about the 09up 1500s either

Ive got a body lift already. I think I might do the flares.

Itll probably cost about as much to paint em as they cost in the first place
