2013 ram1500 mod thread

Well the kit came in yesterday and installed yesterday.
It is the economy drop. The rear shifted to the left just a little bit but not near as bad as it was without the relocator bracket. I'm actually really happy with the kit. The ride is stiffened but still rides very well. I also didn't get any of that wheel well shift (it is centered)
I'm on my way for the alignment now.
Enjoy some pics. This is gonna turn into my mod thread and I will just start it off with this. It has already been debadged and exhaust added. Also changed out all of the exterior lights to LEDs

Very nice truck. I am a firm believer that all 2wd trucks should have that stance.

Thanks guys. I have some black housing headlights on the way and some HIDs from retroshop. I attempted to tint my tail lights today but got frustrated and I'm just gonna keep them the way they are.

Thanks guys i like a factory yet bice looking truck. I got all my HIDS installed just now took about an hour at a casual pace. My driver side fog blinks but only when I crank my truck.
Blackout I am having it aligned by a local shop down the road from where I had it installed. Diez tire. He is the go to guy on alignments for all the low riders around here

I would wait a few days for the springs to settle then take it to be aligned. Looks great!!

I am. I decided that after I drop per it off. Decided to take it home and get my HIDS done. But I just looked at my tracking and the black headlight should be here tomorrow. At least all I will have to do is swap out the housings though.
I couldn't figure out how to get the main plug unhooked from the headlight. I pushed the red tab up and pulled but it wouldn't come out

Beautiful truck! I've always liked grey trucks, my dad always had them when I was growing up. I have a black one, but the grey looks awesome! Looking at this just makes me want to go ahead and drop mine, but saving for other things. I might go ahead and do it soon anyway.. Love the lights too!

Thanks man. I'm a black truck guy but wanted to try something different this time. The grey has really grown on me.
The only thing I am debating now is keeping these 20's, swapping to the other other factory 20's (the polished 5 spokes) or the gunmetal grey Srt 22's

I've spent soo much time looking at rims, I haven't taken it quite that serious though because I know I won't be buying any for a good while. I like my factory 20s, but I also want some 22s.. having a hard time finding what I really want though. So rims will most likely be left toward the end for me.

I like the rims on your truck now quite a bit, but I like srt 22s as well haha (theyre on my list as potential contenders)

Looks good but the rear wheels are definitely shifted forward. Any and all dropped 4th Gen's will have it happen.
