Default Leveling kit = : )

Got my leveling kit installed finally, SOOOO happy with the results. I think it rides a little high in the front, the fenders say 40 1/4 in the rear and 41 1/2 in the front. So it looks like its riding high in the front. So I got 1" blocks for the rear. Here are some pix (ive yet to install the blocks).



I love it.

chrome clad cant be powder coated, masking tape and trim paint. Just make sure you clearcoat it when your done. I made the dumb move not too now I have to redo them.

looks good. i think you need bigger rims (the 2006-2007 style 20" chromes would look nice) and bigger tires maybe. but it looks good! you ride looks real good man!

thanks man, I love the wheels on those models, but im gunna save up for nice aftermarket 20x10 or 18x9 wheels and deck them out with a set of nitto terra grapplers. Something to save up some good dough for. For now tho, stock is going to have to stay haha.

understandable. but yeah, i had those rims on my old (not old, but now its old lol) truck and they were nice until i stepped into the HEMI which has the new style 20" chromes. hey, i saw a 2006 ram1500 HEMI with a 4" lift on 35" tires with the same rims as i have. it looked real, real nice. maybe you can try to get the rims and some tires to fit under there, when you get the money of course!

the Dune grapplers are a sharp *** tire, pricey but nice as hell, I should have bought them when I bought my wheels (my wife even gave me the approval) but I couldnt stand the thought of paying almost 1400 for a set of tires ....looking back I wish I had got them....funny thing is now my wife says I dont need them ha ha

looks good man. What kit did you use? are you torsion bars cranked down all the way....you may be able to do so and get the front end a little lower so it rides even. I'm searchin for a kit for an 07' 1500
