My Blue Ram

No rub issues what-so-ever. Sometimes the new suspension will hit the plastic wheel well liner when I hit a speed bump but it's hardly noticeable. I could cut it more to prevent that but I want to keep as much mud and crap out of the engine compartment as possible.

Yeah probably didn't need to in the back but since I'm obsessive compulsive about alot of things I wanted to keep it even all the way around. They were more precautionary than anything else since I hadn't seen the lift/wheel/tire combination in person so I wasn't 100% sure it would work without rubbing.
Looking at it now I think one could probably get away without the spacers depending on how inflated the tire is, but why not stay on the sure side of things and just use them and not have to worry?

Found it online through ebay at a dealership in Arizona for $1,900 + $150 shipping. It was a promotional item that they never used, was still in its original box and just sitting in their storage room. They wanted to off-load it and I wanted to buy it, win-win.
Installation was $800 by my local Dodge dealership.

It's black, I heard the color ones can fade over time and the black goes with other parts of the truck. Plus I think black being a darker color will hide stains and other things that might end up in the bed of the truck (I'm a deer hunter). Hope the grille thing works out for you, seems like all the Sports are coming with chrome grilles now, which is terrible from a marketing standpoint, all of the advertisements for Sports show a body-matched grille, it even says it on the website. I wouldn't drive it off the lot until it's fixed.
I did specifically make the grille color a condition of ordering it so the dealer knows it is important to me. If it doesn't come with one they will make it right.

I don't have the truck quite yet, but it was built and shipped and using the URL with my VIN to pull up the window sticker (http://www.dodge.com/hostc/windowSticker.do?vin=YOURVIN) it does show body color grille so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it is correct.

You should be good then, my build sheet said bright chrome grille on it.... the sports look dumb with a chrome grille.
