Smile Pics of my 2009 laramie. finally........

Hello everyone, After figuring out photobucket, I have finally attached pics of my new (to me) 2009 Dodge Laramie 4x4. Had 20K on it when I bought it. This is my 2nd Dodge truck and I love it. My 1st truck was a 1994 Dodge ram SLT 4x4 5.9L that was the 1st thing I bought when I graduated college in 1993. I kept it through this year and it had 88K miles on it. I sold it for $6500 (yes $6500 it was immaculate) and put the funds toward this truck. I have a photo of it totally stock, then with a Top Gunz Customs level kit, 305x55x20 Nitto Terra Grapplers, and Husky Mud flaps, and a 18" Mufflex system that I had welded on. I did have to install 1/4" spacers on all 4 corners to keep from rubbing, but I really like how it turned out.

The top gunz kit is 2.5" in front and 1/2" in back. Took about 2.5 hours to do on the front, and about 30 minutes on the back with a coil spring compressor.

Been thinkin of lifting mine a bit but worried about the kiddos. I noticed you had one. Does he have trouble getting in? I have a 4 and 5 yr old.

My son is only 2 1/2, so I usually lift him up to his car seat. However he has actually climbed up and into the truck as he loves the cavernous back seat area. My wife is 5'2" and she uses the step bars to get in.

I have had zero issues with ride, vibrations or turning radius with my level kit. I really wanted to go a little higher, but I also like to stay as close to possible to the stock mechanics. Angles? Not sure what you are asking here?
