Thought I would go ahead and start a build thread. I have a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7 4x4

I started off by picking up a set of 20x12 American force burnouts polished aluminum. decided i didn't like the polished look so I had them powder coated satin black. have them wrapped in 35x12.50 cooper STT PRO's

just received my 6 inch RCX lift today and still waiting on some bilsteins and other parts so it will be about 2 weeks before i get started on the project.

i have some pictures posted below. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated!

Yeah kinda disappointed it won't be able to be in the garage.

So this morning I was checking out all the lift parts and was debating on taking the $900 I was going to use for installation and blow it all on new tools and do it myself. $900 would get me some pretty nice tools plus a new tool box

Just don't know if I want to go through the hassle of doing it myself. After working on all my old cars I'm kind of tired of it.

6" Zone with 5" rear, bils @ 2.1. I'm not sure if its my year(2011), the upward aproach to my garage, or what. But, I fit under my 7' door. It BARLEY clears the weather strip, like half inch. Its never rubbed though.

This is very helpful, I was afraid to go with bils and bigger tires
