:icon_cheers:Jim you sumbitch, that truck is titties, beer, and a BJ all wrapped in one! I also like the tailgate "wing" or whatever. My first thought was def. tires, but might as well get all the life you can out of the stock ones. i thought they came with Pirelli scorpions? Anyways nice choice on the flame blue, I wouldnt have it any other way. Congrats man!:icon_cheers:

Trust me, if I had the coin for some mud terrains, I'd be ditching the tires.

Nice truck Jim! I was going to metion the crew cab thing too, glad you didn't get the stanless cover for the tailgate thats the only thing I hate about the new ones. Did you lease this one too, 'cause if not a nice lift and tires would look sweet on there!!:icon_thumby:


This is what my truck would look like with a leveling kit, 3-inch body lift, and 35" tires
See thats what I'm talkin ABOUT!!!

The wing look is mehhh... On another note, its making the tail gate harder to match when you bend it/damage it. I had an 04 Ram 2500, bent a couple tail gates, was rather easy to find considering multiple years worked. I guess I use the trucks for what they were meant for, work. (This usually occured hauling around 5500lbs of rock out of a creek).

Am I the only one thinking that Ford tried too hard to make those look like a spaceship from 2001: A Fullsize Odyssey?

Well, I did some more research today and found that anyone lifting 2.5 - 3 inches without changing anything else is having problems with ball joints. Sounds like the 2-inch spacer is the best way to go.

Auto Spring has this 2-inch spacer:



I read a lot of positive comments about the 2-inch kit.

$73.00 and free shipping.
does that go in the front coil?
