Maybe I missed it but why did you get rid of your old truck? That was a pretty sharp rig!

At the time my wife and I couldn't afford the payments. We had just bought our first house and after all the moving expenses it made sense to get rid of that payment. Now my wife just got her real estate license! So she got a raise at work, as did I..so it was time for a truck again!

Couldn't stay away huh lol

I couldn't! Everyday I saw a Ram and I didn't have one it made me jealous lol

Well never to late to start planning! Though I think I'm going to do the small mods first, I wants yalls opinion on my level set up. For tires I only want to do some 275/65/20 bfg all terrains, but I kind of want to do Bilsteins to level. I liked how the HBS level turned out on my last truck, but I want to do it right this time! So I'm thinking of setting them at 2.1 and throwing the bfgs on and calling it done! Sound like a plan?
