Default picked up my tires yesterday FINALLY!

just a sneak preview....

drove about 3 hrs yesterday to the Kumho warehouse in Rancho Cucamonga and picked up my 38x14 r24 road venture MTs. my monsters are currently getting chromed so here's a pic of one that's finished. i'll be picking these up on wednesday, then taking the ram to my suspension shop in san diego for the lift probably thursday or friday. bout time right?

thanks guys, i cant wait to see'em mounted up either! the lift is a 7" procomp with a 3" PA body lift. i just had the suspension kit powdercoated this week and as soon as i get the truck back from that shop it's going into the tranny shop for the 4:88s in the rear. i got powersteps, superchips, and some other goodies on the way so hopefully they'll be here before the truck goes in for the lift

4.88's! Holy $HIT! Your acceleration is gonna rock but I would think those would severely hurt your top end?

possibly, im not really sure. but the guy at the tranny shop said 4:56s would be way too small for 24s on 38s. the 24s are just too heavy. so whatever loss i have on the high end i'm hoping i can correct with the superchips. i rarely take the RPMs over 4k anyhow though (i have a very light foot). but im sure there will be something i wont like and will need to install more upgrades to correct other issues, and so it begins.... lol
