Default Went from bone stock to this! What do think?

What you guys think? This is an 09 ST not SLT. I came with power EVERYTHING and the upgraded interior but the out side had crappy grey back and front bumper, also the black textured peice above the steel front bumper... another words UGLY.

So I had the front and back bumpers painted white to match the truck, have 24's with a deeep lip , tinted windows -not legal- and I designed that "Guy Harvey" decal with that barracuda on photo shop and had it cut and put in the rear window...

Tinted the back tail lights and baked the front headlightz in the oven to seperate them, painted the middle insert black and got rid of that ugly yellow reflector we most 09-10 ram's unless we were lucky enought to get the hemi...

compelete custom stereo with in dash touch screen and woofer box made to fit in the perfect middle back bench seat, both seats and still recline all the way and its arm rest height for the back passangers... I am limited to what pictures i can post duz to size limits...


Now i need some motor help for the ole 4.7

drop? i actually was thinking a 2inch level lift and get 305/40/24 instead of the rubber bands i have on there now.... I think the 09's are smaller than the older 1500's and i want this to look like a truck more. Is yours dropped in the back to match the front? if so some pictures would be nice so i can make a decision. stout.austin@gmail.com thanks if you do man

ive seen a few trucks with 24 inch wheels and bigger tires... they end up looking wierd. you gota go really big to make them look right... at least a 37 inch tire. and im not sure about the new gen being smaller... ill have to check on that

do you know how they painted the plastic part above the fromt bumper? I've been thinking of having mine done too, but i've also been thinking of taking just the bumpers off and using that herculiner (auto zone Bedliner) and doing it myself. with the bedliner i won't have to worry about the bumpers rusting from rock chips, like its doing already.

Dude they did such a perfect job u would think it was fiberglass. Ive always heard u cant paint that textured plastic because the release agents are built into the peice to release from the mold instead of other peices that are ment to be painted have the release agents sprayed into the mold... thus with the agents build into the plastic paint wont stick right, chip blah blah... so what they did was sand it REAL good and use like an epoxy primer and painted it... when u touch it, it feels just like fiber glasss smoooooth and sexy

Too busy? I actually went with those cuz i dont like the busyness or those ugly *** plate rims that u cant see thru... Seven spokes with deep lip... I guess u cant please everyone... I love them..

The exhaust is cut right where stock muffler was ( right behind the cab) and welded flowmaster 40 series ( may change to tru dual magna flow) with a 2 ft pipe turned down... sounds badddddassss. I hate seeing pipes, too 90's for me

EVERYWHERE I've looked ( bigger name brands ) DO NOT make a leveling kit for the quad cab 2WD yet.... just the 4WD.. as soon as i can find one im buying it and putting way bigger tires....now i think i have 295/35/24 and i want to got 40's or 45 for the profile... the 40's will be another inch or more in side wall
