I've got a '16 sport crew 4x4 also...mine is white though. I'm currently in the same boat. I put the bils on my truck when I first got it to level it and some beefier tires. But, now I want an actual lift and slightly bigger tires. I plastidipped my stock sport wheels and used the glossifier too, that actually came out real nice and completed my storm trooper look. But, I'm still ready to lift it more lol. 4x4 lift kits are crazy expensive compared to lifting a 2wd unfortunately..

I havent seen too many platidipped wheels that last. Around town you can see where its chipping around the edges. Is this common for you as well? Powedercoating the wheels isn't cheap, why I ask.

I just got home from a deployment a couple weeks ago and had the Ram waiting for me. Next day after getting home I bolted on a Flowmaster. Day after that I Plasti coated the wheels and letters. I traded in my 2wd Ram Sport for this one.

The 2wd was great but I bought a house back in Aug and spent a couple weeks working on the house listening to country music all day because it came in clear on the radio. But after a a couple weeks I had a overwhelming desire to get a 4wd to lift. ha ha!

Now that I have it I may increment toward the lift. Probably put some Bils on it to level it then after few months see if I want to do more.

Really happy with this one. MSRP was $54300 I got it delivered to my house from SC to Savannah for $41700. Woo hoo!

Hey Brother , Did you used MILITARY sale while deployed of bought it when you got home? Also what color is that?

I just read and talked to truck owners that said they had the plasti coat for two years with no probems. Figureed give it a try. Some say powder coat makes the wheels weaker. I have no idea. Probabley keep hand washing it.

The color is called granite mettalic.

How fo you like the Bils. I want the lev look but i do not want the ride to get too bumpy, tighter sounds good but if its bumpier i am not sure.

I read some say their ride got to stiffer some say way beter etc. hard to tell whst people mean by better.

Most if my friends have Fords and too me stock they are just too bumpy. Chevy too soft. Ram perfect.
