Default 2010 Ram + BDS + Body Lift = (look inside)

I should have the fender flares and the N-Fab's back from paint in time to stick them on next week. These are my latest developments

I just finished raising the exhaust tips. They were hanging pretty low in this pic. They are lifted in the last pic. If you notice they were hanging in the first pic.

I love it! LOVE IT!

I just got myself the same truck... I just did a leveling kit with airbags... but after seeing these pics... wishing I went with a lift!

How much of lift did you do? Also, whats the finished height on it? Still gotta be able to fit in garage!

The BDS lift is a 6" lift. It was a little low in the front so I leveled it and added the 3" body lift.

It is a total of about 11" of lift.

What size tire are you running? What size wheel and offset is on it? I have a 2wd with a 7" suspension and 3" body. We tried to stuff 38s on a 20x12 wheel with a huge negative offset but it didnt work. Now i either gota have BNC Offroad build me a custom 13" lift plus my body lift or drop down to a 20x9 with a -12mm offset and a 37. Still trying to decide what to do.

20x10 with 4.5BS. Tires are 35x12.50R20, but I'm upgrading to 37x13.50R20 soon. I was going to stay with a 12.50 but I want to swap back to the Toyo's from the Nitto's.

I figured up your backspace to mm and yours is like a -25 about. I was thinking about doing a -12 with a 9" wide wheel but now i know it wont stick out much like im wanting. It would be further into the fender well then yours so that would kill the look im goin for. Thanks for sharing, makes my decision so much easier. Looks like its gonna be a custom 13" lift so i can keep what i have

Default Black emblems?

Hey Raw, how'd you do the black "RAM" on your door? Did you pull them off and put them back on or do it on the truck?
Thanks
Sean

hows the ride now? are the tires noisy? i see that you dont have the side steps, hows it getting in? im looking to do the same type of setup, just getting my money together. can you tell me where you bought the parts and will this void your warranty?

The ride is as good or better than factory. The Nitto's are much noisier than the Toyo's I had on my last truck. My sidesteps will more than likely be in today. I am 6 ft and it is difficult getting in the truck in slacks to go to work. In Jeans or shorts, it's really not an issue. You can do a dealer search at BDS for the suspension lift and PA for the body.

Warranty depends on your dealer. It will more than likely void it
