Hello fellow forum searchers,
So about 7 months ago in July, I bought my truck. 2013 Ram 1500 express in red, had 22k miles on it and already had 35s(for sale btw)! This was my first huge purchase as I was only 20 years old at the time. One of the very few things I've ever wanted is to have a nice truck that I can call mine. Unfortunately about a month after I bought it, I had to return overseas to finish out the rest of my two years here. I return in about 3 months to start building. I have the truck, it's time to start making it nice.

Since I can't actually work on it YET, I figured I would post updates as I buy parts, as well as finally put them on once I'm home. When I get home my plans are:

-Tinting windows
-Stubby antenna
-Replacing mirrors with color matched tow mirrors
-Possibly color matching door handles
-Carven exhaust
-6" RCX OR Zone, haven't decided.
-Bilstein adjustable struts in the front
-Mevotech UCAs
-20x12 Fuel Hostages
-35/12.50/20 Atturo Trail Blade M/Ts
-Diablo Trinity T1000 with Hemifever Tune
All within about 20 days before I head down to SC.
Wheels and Tires are bought already:

Future plans:
-Clazzio leather seat covers
-Custom headlight build
-new tail lights
-full weathertech floor mats
-Roll up tonneau cover
-Amp Research steps(possibly)
-New grille
-Possibly bumper light bar
-More little stuff!

Any cool ideas, please share with me!

Here's how she's sitting:

Alright guys haven't posted in a while obviously because I'm still overseas, but only got a couple weeks left. Here's some updates:

Wheels and tires that were on the truck are now sold. She's going in the shop for the lift probably next weekend. Lift, wheels, tires, Bils shocks, and mevotech UCAs are all ready to go. I also have a Diablo T1000 with a pillar mount waiting for me at home. Carven exhaust and tow mirrors are being bought at the end of this week. If y'all got any ideas of some smaller mods I could stack up on over the next couple weeks, shoot em my way. My buddy's car was in the shop for a few days so he borrowed the truck and got a few pics for me so here ya go[emoji48]

That was actually with 20s, might just be the angle of the picture.

Got the lift installed, I could not be happier with how it turned out. HUGE shoutout to Harrington's Speed and Auto in NJ. Mark was a pleasure to work with and found time to respond quickly to every email even with the 13 hour time difference. Highly recommended shop ran by a good dude. Only got about month left overseas and a stock pile of parts waiting for me at home[emoji1417]

It's actually a little over 8". 6" zone with 5" rear coils with 2.8" bils up front. And they're only 35s. I'm super happy with how it turned out, it looks huge lol I definitely want 37s in the future though after I regear at some point.

I keep getting your specs wrong that's funny. I could've sworn those were 37's. those 35's fill it in pretty well.

Yes in pictures it looks perfect. As crazy as it sounds, I haven't seen it in person yet because I'm still overseas. I'll be able to really see in about a month

If you're looking for something small to do I recommend doing flush mount pods and 5" tips on those duals. Especially with tinted windows. Makes backing up at night a breeze and you don't have to roll them down.

This is my personal truck I cringed as we started cutting into my brand new bumper but worth it in the end. 2dcd062b12e8eda93e9539d8c5044025.jpg

5" tips are definitely on the list, they look dope. Yeah the cutting into my bumper would scare me but I do want some type of lighting back there because I'm going with darker tint. Haven't decided on flush mounts or just hanging cubes. Love the flush mount look and hate the hanging look but the cutting scares me [emoji51]

Well I haven't actually drove it yet personally[emoji23] I'm still overseas for another month. However, my neighbor who has been driving it every now and then for the past year says the ride is 10x better than the previous setup AND the stock set up so as of right now I would HIGHLY recommend the zone kit. Tune isn't installed yet, but when I get back and start loading parts onto it, I'll be doing updates on everything
