Default Lift on, wheels/ tires done

Got a few quick pics of the Ram lifted. I put on a Trail Master 6" lift and was happy with the kit. Not as complete as some others but I wanted a lift that did not include shocks as I wanted to use Bilstiens.
Got the lift on and had to wait 2 weeks for the wheels to show up. The lift recommends a wheel with a min of 4.75" of BS so I went with a VTec in a 20x9.5 with 4.75" of BS. Love the wheels.
Did the Nitto Trail Graps in a 295/65/20 as I wanted a bit narrower tire than the 35x12.5's. These are a hair over 35 and about 11.7" wide. Perfect.

Tires ride like everyone says, little hum but not terrible.

I will get a few better pics soon, going to the mountain tomorrow with the wife and kids. Will try and get some snow pics.

Looks good! You will love having a lift. Tires match the truck well

Real nice looking truck man. I like the look with the lift and the wheels are sick.... What did you give for the tires?

That looks really good. I like the whole combo makes the truck look much better. Those tires actually look bigger then 35s, perfect match!
