What wheels are those? Can you get a closer shot of them. Truck looks killer!

Moto Metal 969 20x9. Nitto Trail Grappler 37/12.5x20 rubber. Thanks.

What name brand steps do you have , they look like OEM steps ? I was told by my dealer that they didn't offer the wheel to wheel MOPAR steps in black ...

Cruizer · Apr 20, 2015

I have never seen those. I like them a lot. First thing I did with my Moto Metals was pop the sticker off the caps. Why they would use the same chrome logo on every wheel I have no clue.

R.L.K., I had them powder coated.

R.L.K. · Apr 20, 2015

Very nice! how's the powder coating holding up ? Wer they chrome or stainless ?

TrEsPaSS · Apr 20, 2015

Very well, chrome. Ran up against packed ice/stones over winter without a mark.

Wow , did the step pads come off and go back on easily ? Also what kind of prep work just sanding ? If I remember the chrome steps wer aluminum?

You are correct, they are aluminum. I disassembled and assembled the pads without issues (mostly tabs). My buddy owns a powder coat shop and took care of that. I am not sure his process. I will be taking some bushwacker bolts to him this week and will inquire.

I honestly hate steps, only reason I kept them is to protect from shopping carts and most importantly the wife required them.

R.L.K. · Apr 20, 2015

Thanks for your input , I think I'll be looking for some wheel to wheel aluminum chrome steps for sale now !

R.L.K. · Apr 20, 2015

Lol me too , the wife and door dings is the only reason I want them , I like the Mopar ones because they stick out just enogh to protect against door dings in tight parking lots

Im running a 6" BDS with bilsteins set at max hight and 37's. No problems.

jonathanhudaon · Apr 14, 2016

Hey boys, I got the 6" BDS on my 2013 and I'm gonna do the bilsteins up front as well. My question is, has anyone done the rear as well? Was thinking of putting them into. Would they just go directly in place of were he rear shock that comes with the BDS kit or would they go inside the coil? Oh I also have the larger coils on the rear that come with the BDS kit

Many guys do swap out the rear shocks eventually as well. You will need shocks meant for a 6" lift (5" rear lift) though, not ones for stock height. They will replace the rear shocks that came with the kit.

Thanks Brandon, I've been looking and can only find the stock ones though
