Are they the Crome stock 20s? Wanna trade? Mine also have brand new tires.

seems like a waste i guess... dropping a 4x4.... maybe airbags would be the way to go for me that way I could lift it and stick some 35's on it.... drop it and use my stock tire size.... but whats the maximum airbag height and drop... i think ive seen 4 inchers but thats the biggest I have ever seen

Sorry, they are the stock painted alloy rims. Not too crazy about chrome wheels, and I think your a bit far away lol

yea I agree, airbags are the way to go. All you have to do is have two sets of wheels, off and on road. ive seen bags with 3 compartments. I'd say 15 inches on suspension travel. Check out airbagit.com

So about those bump stops...Whats everyone got? I need new ones bad.

im not runnin any right now. just took the rubber out the front, still have the cups. and as for the rear i took those out completely. i bottom out often, but im gonna get some adjustable air shocks for the rear for haulin stuff and that will also solve the bottoming out issue...

so can you give us newbies some details on what you used etc... i want to keep as close to possible the stock ride, its bad enough where i live. and i want to keep it as cheap as possible with-out being cheap. if you know what i mean, i wont make a mod if i can not do it right. thanks

i have a DJM 2/4 kit on my ram, custom shackles in the rear so its about 2/4.75. Nitro drop shocks out back and factory up front. it rides great, sometimes i forget its even lowered... until it bottoms out while im drivin. as long as i drive carefully i can avoid it. id say thats pretty good for no bump stops or notching! i am gonna "trim" the front up a bit for better clearence. better to have it and not need it than the other way around.
