So I've had my black edition for almost a year and a half. It's had a bunch of changes, but I finally found a look that decimates everything else I've done. Still a work in progress. I'll start from the beginning.

Tinted the tails and traded my black wheels with BFGs for a set of sport wheels with 275/65r20 Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Loved the set up I had, but wanted 22s because it just gave the truck a more upgraded look IMO. The changeover to 22 SRT10s. Also removed the HBS 2" level and installed Bilstein 5100s @1.4"

Didn't have the SRT10 wheels long before I found a set of RDR USA 22x10 (-12) that I loved. Did some wheeling and dealing...came out even from buying and selling.

The biggest and latest change was adjusting the Bilsteins from 1.4" to 2.8". Then Added Amp MT 325/50r22. Couldn't be happier with the stance.

Future plans include step bars, tonneau cover, tow hooks, winch, led roof bar, sport hood, tuner, intake and possibly bushwacker fender flares. Stay tuned!

So you're saying you go through wheels like a woman goes through clothes lol.

I like the look of the SRT wheels best. But truck looks great man.

Yeah lol, it's had a ton of shoes, I just kept trading until I got where I am. I am a huge fan of the srt wheels, but ran into some balancing issues with them. I may eventually go back to a gloss set with spacers just because I love the look.

I would love to trade mine for some of the 22 SRT wheels some time, could care less if they are knock offs lol. But keep doing what you're doing man. What part of MO are you from? I'm born and raised in STL.

Thanks for some ideas for my black ram. I like the sport wheels with the trail grapplers.

That set up looked great IMO. It really needed some spacers for a more aggressive stance, but it fit really well as it was.
