Default 4 day owner

Hello all, name is Mike, I just acquired a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 Thunder Road Hemi 4x4 QC last saturday and absolutely LOVE IT! I have owned sports cars most of my life so the power is nothing new to me but sitting up so dang high sure is! Due to the recent snow here in VA, I have had a chance to try out the 4wd and aside from getting 11.5mpg, it is dang near unstoppable! I went through school parking lots, up icy hills, it just bites and goes! Guess 5800lbs will do that. When running in 2wd though, I have seen a best of 15mpg, which isnt bad in my opinion.

I hope its ok to do this, and if not let me know, but here are pics from when I picked it up and of the snowstorm.

thanks! I was looking at doing a 6" lift with some 36" meats but realized, that may be "too" high. :-)

Is yours lifted? looks to be the height I would like to be. Maybe I should measure my wheelwell height, see how tall it is now...

THANKS for the warm welcome everyone. I cant wait to get home tonight to BigNelly! I just love driving it so much! I havent had this much fun since I bought my 95 corvette.

I have been looking for parts for the 07's and cant find much. I cant find too much either performance wise, aside from an ATS turbo or a ProCharger. I was looking to invest in some headers, catback, and a lift kit but am coming up short on parts. I checked FabTech's site and they dont have anything listed for an 07. I am assuming the 06 is the same but am not sure. I have never owned a Dodge before.
