Ok, I should be taking possession of an 06 Ram QC Hemi QC Big Horny Edition later this week. This vehicle will be all show, no go. Throw some appearance suggestions at me including name brands! Truck is bone stock.

Thanks, joe

Just out of curiosity why all show? Don't you like driving your truck? Or do you have a warranty that your trying to keep?

4x4, I love driving the truck but I have an 03 Whipple Cobra with 580 rwhp for fun times. Just want the truck to be nice looking. Lift and tires suggestions with any other ideas are all welcome.

your cheapest, worst performing lift will be a 3" level and a 3" body lift with a 1" block in the rear.

thanks, and performs badass....lol.... but its really not that bad. its just by far your cheapest route if you just want looks. i ran it on my old gasser. really isnt that bad. its just probally the least best performance wise...guess i needed a better word for least... lol. well i guess you could rig up some 6" blocks in between the body mounts and frame....that would be worse lol

A three inch lift sounds about right. I'd like some 35's or at least beefy 33's. Truck has 3.92 so that helps and it will mostly be a pavement queen.

cool. a leveling kit will achieve that 3" for you. 35's will be super tight with a 3" lift, so your better off with 33's but if its all pavement, and have no need for articulation 35's might work for ya' ill someone else hit that note. KMC XD series are pretty popular, and for tires i love my toyo MTs and ive run pro comp XATs in the past and they were very good too! if you have any other specific questions feel free to ask
