Default The new guy is asking for your opinon

Hello to all,

I'm not new to the dodge community, my dad is a financing manager for a dodge dealership back in Texas, so growing up I was alway's running around the dealership trying to drive as many vehicles as they would allow me. Well my question is, what are your opinions on this
package. It comes with the CST 2002-2006 Dodge Ram 7" Lift and a Performance Accessories 3" body lift kit. It says it provides enough room to clear most 37" to 39" tires but I'll probably be leaning to the 37"s. But any info on it or any other recommendations would greatly be appreciated.

By the way, Im looking at a 06 2wd 1500 QC Hemi. ( I live in Orlando,FL now, so the only off-roading I'll be doing is going over any dam honda's civics that cut me off )


Heres the link

I think 10 inch's of lift is a little over kill. Just do the 7 inch lift and leave off the body lift. The 37's should fit with just that, and in my opinion it would look better. But do what ever makes you happy.
