Default Lowered 4x4 with 26's

Hi Everybody! This is my first post to this forum. I have been using it for info for the past four months. I just thought i would share a couple pics of my truck for the few people thats was thinking bout lowering there 4x4. Pics were taking off my iphone so sorry for the poor quality. I bought my 2010 ram sport 1500 4x4 in dec. It was all Stock when i purchased it. Here is a list of the mods.

Grown Force 2/3 drop
T Rex Billet Grill and Buumper insert
Tinted Front Windows 20% And 5% Sun Strip
26x10 KMC Slide wheels with 305/30/r26
Removed the 4x4 emblem

I bought just the wheels for $2100 brand new off of eBay. Then another $1400 for tires at a local tire shop. They don't make kmc slides in 28's which sucks cuz I really wanted 28's but couldn't find anything I liked.

Why such big wheels? Isn't the ride a nightmare with those things? Seems like you wouldn't be able to run over a sewer cap without your teeth falling out.

Yea it rides a little rougher but not as bad as I thought it would be. I guess it's not for everybody though. But my dodge is not my everyday truck. Jus somethin nice to take out on the weekends

That's cool. To each their own I guess. My truck is lowered, and I have been thinking about putting lower profile tires on it rather than the stock 33" tires it has on it now, but am afraid the ride will suffer. I drive my truck everyday and haul/tow with it too so I am undecided. Any opinions?

To be honest if I was using my truck to tow/haul I would keep all the sidewall I could. Depending on what ur towing. I know ur weight capacity on a low pro tire drops dramatically.
