Agreed!

 

I would take the TRX 17's (for functionality) or the plastichrome 20's (for looks) over the silver 20's any day.

 

Cab lights on a 1/2 ton just look poser.

 

Outstanding!

 

lol...yeah I hope that was a joke. As far as the three page discussion about the rims the looks are all left up to opinion so no more need to argue. The 17's with higher side wall tires are obviously more functional for offroad so please stop highjacking the thread with this.

Thanks.

 

If you can spend the extra cash, go for a lift. I was very dissapointed in the look of my 09 to my old 06 cause it just looked small. 6" lift with 35's made it sit nice.

 

Thanks yeah I think that's where I stand now.

 

Since i figured out how to upload pictures, on the thread pics of 09 rams i loaded a few on there. check it out if your wondering height and what it looks like

 

Want tough???

The best way to make your truck not only look tough, but to be a bad mother is a lift kit with small wheels and big tires. More tire allows for more traction, and lets you deflate your tire pressure more for rocky or slippery off road applications. Big wheels also weigh more and provide a larger area to mess up or get caught on rocks and brush. Anyone who knows something about four wheeling will view your truck as fraudulant.

Having said that,

For one lift kits for these things are too new and expensive right now; however, Im willing to bet you can squeeze some 35 x 12.5's under there with little to no problems, exspecially if you are not going to be off roading in it. You can get some decent 17"s and tires for around $1500-$2000.

For two, it is your truck and you should do what makes you happy. If looks are your concern and not performance you can put 30" spinners and bump rap music in it if you want to. Nobody else has to drive it or like it.

Some cheaper mods would be a bull bar, nerf bars and a roll bar to toughen it up a bit. Check out these roll bars.

lol... I hear 'ya man.... No spinners here... I'm looking now at either getting 20" A/T's or a set of 17's and A/T's or M/T's depending on what I can find used. If the rim/tire deal doesn't work out I have a good deal on some Zeon LTZ's to get more aggressive tread. Also order a few other small nick knack ****e on the side..


I'm on a budget now so a lift is out of the question. Gonna have to keep whatever I get under a grand.
