Hi guys, new to the forum after I recently picked up my 2012 Ram ST after trading in my Powerstroke. Thought I would share the start of what hopes to be a good build.

Went with the RCX 2.5 to keep the rake.(I think it looks meaner)
Was torn between the Nitto's and the Open Country's for quite a while. Decided to go with the Nitto after seeing so many Toyo's around town. Hope you guys like it. Debating on whether I should plasti dip the rims...:hmm:

Looks good!! You did just the 2.5 level kit? I just did the Bilstein 5100s and now my tires look a little small. Thinking about adding some bigger tires now. Yours are 35s right? Here's mine. dyzanypa.jpgapu4y8uh.jpg

Thanks man! Yeah I went with the RCX since it lifted the back a little too. Yep they are 35s. They fit really nicely with almost no rub what so ever. You definitely need a bigger tire in there to set it off. How do the Bilsteins ride?

Rides like stock!! I think I'm gonna do the same tires as you but I'm afraid of the rubbing.

Sweet! Might have to look into those. I've heard the chrome clads do rub with the 35s, being that they are an inch or two wider i believe. A spacer might solve that, but I'm not sure.

welcome to rf....truck looks good.

35 tires fit with a level on stock wheels........however 12.5" wide tires do not fit on stock wheels without a wheel spacer

Your truck looks quite similar to how mine looked when I started!
