Definitely not my style...but if you like it...go for it.


Kinda defeats the purpose of having a truck though...

so you have a 4x2...a v-6....and 24's with virtually no sidewall...and now its gonna sit on the pavement......



I dont understand why people think a "bagged" pickup truck looks cool.....it costs a lot of money and looks extremely "ghetto" in my honest opinion.

Before you go forward with that, ask yourself if the ride quality is going to be acceptable. I'm one of those people who actually wanted the standard 17" rims, in addition to being able to go off-road as I do, for the plushier ride.

I think many overlook the side-effects of certain vehicle mods. Case-in-point: aftermarket exhausts. I plan to eventually change out the cat-back on my pickup, and I like a good exhaust note, but highway-drone will be a major consideration in whatever I do.

i thought about it before i got the truck. i got it planning on cutting it up since no one does these new rams like this really. i have had the lowered classic impala i had the air bagged and shaved s-10 so a ram should be the next thing i do. i been to shows all over 3 states and i only seen one ram this body style and it only had 22"s and a little lowering kit. so this will be different as in what i am looking for. plus it will be daily driven and ride better with the air bags then any dodge ram on here and i will be willing to put a very good bet down on that one.

Most of the guys here use their truck for towing and mudding...I think you and me are a unique group![sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Not my style either. That truck looks like an RC car.

But hey, different strokes.
