Nah, no pics. It was a trip though. At 17 I was 6ft 260-270. Made this even funnier. I had to sit down sideways, then swing my feet in.
The truck had 2 1/2% tint on the sides, spraypainted back window, and at least an 8in-low windshield banner, spraypainted. Plus, when lowering it, I messed up one of the rear shocks, and just didnt put the front ones back. Sooooo, talk about a rough ride. The football buddies in the back hated that free ride
Now my opinion is the same of a druggie, the higher the better

How did you see out of that thing. Another thing, you sound like a big guy so I guess you have an idea now of how sardines feel in a can, JK!

woah jasonraines, take it easy. I know how it is when people dont like your truck but all that matters is that you like it. hey i like it. i mean when you have a 2wd you shouldnt lift it like many of the other posers (both 2wd and 4wd) who put big mudding tires and they maybe drove once through some grass to back out of their driveway. even the people who have stock 4wd and they never used it before. my dad has a 04 2wd tundra and he's towed way more than many of the people who have dually diesel 4x4s and then since we have a ranch, hes also been through way more mud too. having a ranch means a lot of work and equipment. we have tractors, 4 wheelers, boats and other odds and ends. of course my truck hasnt done this because its just for driving to school and around town. I have to admit i like your truck and am pretty jealous of those 26's. how much did they cost b/c i may upgrade my 22s in a couple years to something bigger, maybe not 26's. how bad is the ride though b/c i know its not gonna be soft
i paid about $3400 rims,tires,locks, mounted and balanced. as for the ride quality its not that bad... i have had a few trucks with 22's, 23's 24's(all 2 wheel drive!!!!!) and they all have a similar ride compared to my 26's. i have a 30 series tire on my 26" wheels when i had a 35 series on my last set of wheels which was 24's and it rides that same. i am extremly careful going over rail road tracks and fast food drives... also i dont drive this truck every day, i have a police inteceptor with stock wheels i use on my daily commute to work and to run errands. 24's are much cheaper and and realistic when it comes to replacing tires... about half the price of 26" tires. there are a few guys around my city with 24's on rams, so i had to do 26's to blow out the competition.

ridinhigh, ive only seen 30" rim on a hummer

i cant imagine how it would look on a ram. they probably spent just $10G on tires alone. i do think that is a waste of a hummer. i kind of like it but hummer spends all of its research on off-roading and people ruin their hard work by doing that. on a 2wd street truck, thatd be a different story.

I'm still trying to save up to get some 26's as well...

That's just silly! Hummers are supposed to be badass off-road vehicles. But it turns out that a Hyundai Santa Fe is far more superior to a Hummer in all off-road courses that they have put them two into competition at. I read it online a while back, if interested, you can try to pull it up yourself.
Very well put.

You should get some black 26's and black the rest of the truck out. That would look sweet. I've always loved blacked out but since my truck came with chrome 22's, I though chrome extras would look better although I dont want too much chrome.

23's, ive never seen those. they must be rare.
Did you get a new system to match the rims
It has a lot of measuring up to do to compliment the rims.

well I didn't feel like reading all the way into this thread. I just looked for the picture. But I bet its a bunch of people pissin and moaning like they all have been lately. I really like your truck. Did you do the paint once you bought it or was it already like that. Could you take a picture from the front of the truck? Thanks for putting yourself out for public criticism. nice truck BTW

yeah, ive noticed too how everybody have been a jerk if the truck doesnt look like what they like. I try not to post any hurtful criticicm in my posts. For some people, their trucks are their life and they work hard and pay good money to put in what they like only to have everyone put down their truck. I just point out what I like about the truck.
If you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all. There are some exceptions to this rule if youre trying to keep someone from making a mistake that they will regret later.

if someone wants to put 26" rims on then they should..... if someone wants 30" rims then they should... its a matter of taste and unless its on a toyota... then we should be supportive.... personally I think 26" rims look sick as Fuc* on the hemi trucks.... I wish I could afford them.....
