Default current and future for my truck

as some know i sold my 01 and bought a 2004 dodge ram 1500 black quad cab with the hemi.

the only mods right now is a electric cutout and hella 500s behind the grill... which still need to be hooked up lol

reason being in the project thread is that i found what i am aiming to have my truck look like.

visually i want to be somewhat similar to this truck





i talked to the guy, he says it has a 2/3 drop srt10 rims and hood, and came with the lipkit and sidekit and body color matched bumpers.

now my truck is on stock 20s and stock height, i want to put a drop on it first. then either the hood or rims. both will be around the same after either painting the hood or putting tires on the rims.

now questions

BEST drop kit besides airbags? belltech? or groundforce? also which would be better, i dont want it dragging on the ground just not alot of wheelgap when the 22s go on. 2/3? or 2/4?

also does anyone know where to find the srt10 rims or hoods? i havent had any luck.
nor have i had luck finding sport package body parts. i would most likely have to hit a dealership for that?


hmm thats my ramblings for now.

ill make a post later dealing with the performance side of things

those are my plans for my truck too! i love the way that looks my next thing is srt-10 hood and i would the to the lip kit like that too but its really expensive i think..
i got my rims from ebay for 2100 with tires... the guy has alot of them and sells them all the time.. the hood you can just google or look on craigslist or ebay.. i saw the lip kit on autotrucktoys.com but its like oem price..

all i would need is the sport bumper cover?

andi would probably just go with a rollpan and have it painted with the bumper cover.
