Default Hey Guys! I'm Back! for a little while at least

Well, it has truely been quite some time since I last posted here on dodgeforum. Anyways, just letting y'all know that my truck has been through some changes as well! I noticed derricksmash's truck has gotten pretty performanced out haha! Anyways tell me what y'all think. In the time I've been away, I've slapped on:

Pro-Comp 6" Crossmember lift with MX-6 Shocks.
N-Fab Powdercoated step bars
Autometer A/F Ratio, Oil pressure, and Water temperature gauges
Geno's Garage custom Autometer triple gauge pod (Center dash)
Magnaflow Y-Pipe (3")
Fastman Throttle body
and soon to have my truck flashed by SCT

Default well

Because from my headers down, its 2.5" and from the Y-Pipe back, its 3" tubing. The primary reason I got 3" pipe in the beginning was because the exhaust shop I went to hadn't received their shipment on the right day so the only thing available was 3" pipe

I like the lift. Looks much better than before. Did you get bigger tires? I bet that V6 is struggling even more with the extra weight.

it actually isnt struggling too bad. Considering my rear end has 4.56's...but there is a little bit of a delay...As I said, I'm hoping to get tuned by SCT pretty soon and then I can let all you guys know how it went. The tires are still the same. 285.70/R17's so about 33". The only thing that I dont like about the lift is the turning radius got killed
But besides that I have no complaints! And yeah, I know 3" exhaust is rediculous...but I'm sure eventually I may try and go back down to 2.5"....just need to get some more money >_<

you should put some 35" on it, im sure they will fit. but then again, that will probably cost you like 5 sec on your 1/4 mile time

indeed they will. I'm gonna hold off on 35"s because the 33"s I currently have still have about 60 percent of the tread left so once I run them into the ground then I will start lookin around for 35"s.

Hawk how is the fastman TB performing? Also keep us informed on the SCT tune.
