Default Hey ya'll

New here, just bought a 2003 dodge ram 4x4 5.7 hemi. Getting lift and tires done this week. Lift is a 5" X series Rough Country Suspension lift. Tires are 35x12.5x18 Nitto Mud Grapplers, and the rims are 18x9 Black Rockstars. Will post pics up when done.

Not yet, ill get some before and after pics though for sure. Thanks for the welcome! I'll post back on this when its done. And after the lift and tires I still got about $800 of play money left, getting windows tinted and getting step bars. After that ill have about #400 or more left over. What else should I invest in to get better mpg? Chip? Cold K&N Air Intake?

Welcome to the forum. If I was you I would use the remaining money to get a tuner. That way you can get some performance gains as well as adjust your speedo for those bigger tires you are getting.

Tuners aren't available for the '03 are they? Separate PCM and TCM.

Flashpaq site says it works on the 03 Hemi trucks. Not sure how many of the features are available for the 03's compared to the later years though.
