You needed 4x4 and a lift for this.... https://dodgeforum.com/photo.asp?pho...=6&apage=1
You're heckling one of my pics, ouch. I'm trying to work up some tears for the hurt you have caused me. Whoopdy freaking doo. If there were any legal trails to ride here or hills to climb I would be on them like stink on **** and white on rice in a hurricane. Unfortunately this is the flat portion of the Communistwealth. Everything around here is either a war/historic site or dueling banjos type of private property.

ok seriously guys? Does it really matter if you have 4x4 or 4x2 (if you are not off-road)? Do you look down on guys that have the exact same truck as you but instead of all 4wheels turningonly2 do? Who the F*%K cares! If its a question about where the trucks can go and who will get stuck and not get stuck, then yeah 4x4 all the way! But when it comes to pavement pounders that go off-road only when you slide in a ditch on a dirt road, then a TRUCKis a TRUCK. I think this is getting a little to much into the old "My **** is bigger than yours" thing cause "My truck can drive through more mud (or snow or whatever)". I agree with the honda crap, yeah its funny, but the last time i checked the lift was a truck thing not just a 4x4 truck thing.
And to be clear, im not bashing 4x4 in any way, if i had the money or if i would have got the same deal on a 4x4 i would have it.

Also, if you go off road ALOT. I would imagine its pretty rough on your truck and I would hate to spend money on a nice dodge truck just to tear it up. I'm not saying you guys do, but that is what i would think.

Hey ryan, what lift do you have on your truck? I have a truck like yours and I'm wanting to lift it a little. Also, what kind of tires are those and what size?

3" is a lot! i put 2.5" on mine and it sita .5" higher in the front than the rear, but its suppose to settle, and due to my messed up tires i have about 10psi less in my rear tires than in my front...so hopefully once i get my tires and the front end settles it'll be level or even slightly higher in the rear. if not i may look into add a leafs if theyr not too expensive and not hard to install. but i can only fond like 2" and 2.5. i think a 1" would be perfect for the rear. maybe 1.5 most..but then i think its gonna start looking un-level again.
