Yes, ride quality is a little rougher. However, handling improved ten fold! Thanks again.

It is a nice truck man. I do respect all people who customize their trucks the way they want. Even if it's not someone's flavor of the week doesn't mean they shouldn't respect the work that's put in. Like said before it looks sick, I'd just look into getting a little more rubber on the tire to fill the well. But it's coming a long nicely man for sure. Keep it up.

Yeah, was thinkin I was definitely gonna end with a bent rim, but I haven't, thank god. A bent rim on my truck would literally make me ill. Lol. Thanks for the kind words. I think the people that hate on me, r just jealous. Lol.

Thanks bro. The wheels are 9.5" wide. Time size is 265/35/ZR22's. I could put 285's on, but I would have to do some fender well shaving to keep the tires from rubbing.

Thanks bro. Yeah, u couldn't possibly know how much "unwanted" attention u get when ur driving in a truck like this. Lol. It's cool at first, but now it gets annoying. Lol. Although chicks love it. I guess its a "Texas" thing.

Hmm, I was lookin at a 295 if I ever man up and get the money for my 22"s I want. If rubbing is an issue I may have to rethink this.

It's not that anything wider than 265's will rub. It's all In the backspacing. It's just that my rims with anything wider than a 265 will rub, without some fender well shaving. Nothing major. I just dont have enough motor to require me to use tires wider than my 265's. After that 7.4L Hemi Big Block goes in it will b a different story. Lol!
Although, like I have been saying, I may fore-go the build up of my truck now and just wait to build up my dream truck. I just think building a diesel ram 2WD to spank vette's n stang's would b sick! My buddies '07 4WD diesel RAM is way fast. N its got a 6 inch lift kit on It! I plan doing the same thing to my diesel ram, when I get It, except drop It instead of lift it. N mine will b 2WD.
