Paying for my lift tonight :))))
As usual Fastnugly has been awesomenhelpful with easing the ordering process.
Seriously couldn't imagine ordering stuff from elsewhere with customer service like that, price matching, and the sponsorships that they have helped so many of us out with.
Hopefully be working on the lift next days off and then getting my rims and tires from them asap. Will take pictures of the truck with the lift and current tires for when people have questions but plan to get it all on and done with a DAP sticker and get a buddy of mine whos a photographer to have a mini photo shoot by end of May.
Thanks DiscountAutoPerformance!

How do the 14" wide tires fit on the -24 offset? I was looking to go with a bigger tire and didn't realize that that big/wide would fit fine. Do you get any rubbing? Do the tires still stick out past the flares?

On my truck, I just installed the 2500 pockets (which are 3.5" wide up front) and I stick out another 1/2".
I have 7.5" of lift and I required quite a bit of cutting on my lower from valence and I think I may need to trim a tad more.
I also bent the lower from pinch seam behind the front wheel (painted in shortly after as the paint cracks off) and it fits well

But modding to get it to fit is def required.

Exactly as fast stated. Except with my chrome bumpers no trimming up front was required. I did some major grinding on the pinch welds though and still have to be seriously careful about how I drive. Lol I can scrub hard if I don't pay attention. But then again I'm only on 5.5" of lift. Should be corrected soon enough. Im home and doing inventory on my lift and am probably gonna pay someone in the morgantown area to do it because i'm gonna be busy for the next few months with work.

This is good to know with the chrome bumpers.
I wondered how you guys would do it.
I literally cut a chunk off mine and I should have take a pic but I cut it 3 times and i hear a rub this morning ever sol slight, so out the dremel later this evening to correct it.
So you grinded down the pinch weld?
I just took channel lock pliers and bent it back (paint cracked) and I took black rust paint and painted it back.
Its bends so easy

either way, this is temporary for you

I'll snap some pics. I had to cut quite a bit of fender well plastic and cut probably 2" off that little metal corner that comes down behind the wheel from the body. Grinded it all and then painted.

I love the grille! Where did you get it from and did it require any cutting to install?

Ordered from K2 motors. Just an ebay vendor started out as a cheap 160 buck chrome grill. Masked and painted myself. Awesome fit no cutting or any modifying aside from removing like 2 of the push pins that hold the rubber vlance over the radiator

Looks amazing!
Thats your buddy who bought the lift from us? Was hoping to see pics, and here we see it :crazy:
But his tires look much smaller than yours for some reason.

Either way, cant wait to see when its lifted some more

No more of this :buffer: LOL

Got it picked up. I asked what did you do with the rear spacers? he said its coil springs. I said I know. lol So my 1.75" block was left in the rear. I still have decent rake and although I like it a lot. I am feeling some bilsteins on the 1 ish setting. Just for a little more of a leveled stance. Gonna see how much the coil springs will settle in the rear though as my front won't any more. If the coil spring settles even an inch I will be super happy with its stance.

Here is a quick pic as I can't take pictures on the well site. I had it done at a shop in morgantown that did my buddies 08 ram 1500 and they did a decent job on it. So I gave them a shot. DEF needs an alignment and the steering straightened up a little. I can feel everytime its starting to pull one way or the other and can tell its in the steering. No shutters or vibrations other wise though. Thinking the 1.75 pushed my rear axle down and rolled it enough to straighten up my rear drive line angle. OVer all happy with it!

Fastnugly please pm or email me with a quote on front 5100s
