Default Traded in Cobra for 4x4 Diesel

Well I traded in my Mustang Cobra last night for a 2500 Diesel Qaud Cab 4x4. It is white and a stripper so I did not waste any money on rims and such I would junk anyway. I paid $28,495 before tax and license for the truck so I am pretty happy. I almost bought the Hemi sport 4x4 in black with the hood scoop and ground effects but I could not resist the Diesel.

I plan on putting on rims and tires with a lift right off. Any one know if 16"rims will fit over the disk brakes? I believe they will but it wont hurt to double check. And Who makes a good suspension lift for the 2500. I dont want a body lift just suspension.

Thanks for making this a great site.
Robert

nah, 17" + on new gen dodges

I seen someone mention that they seen 16.5's on a 3rd gen but since some aftermarket 17's won't even fit I wouldn't chance it

Thanks, and it looks like it will have to be 17's. I think I am going to go with a 4" suspension lift. Anyone have any expierence with lifting these trucks?
