Watch your classifieds. Sometimes people get the tow mirrors but don't realize how big they are or have a need for them. I've heard of guys straight up trading mirrors. I wouldn't mind them myself someday.

I got mine in trade with a fella for my mirrors + a case of wax.

Well I don't have my 2011 lifted yet but I have purchased all the items for my lift and they are in route to me. I will have the lift on in a few weeks. I am going with a 6" Zone with upgraded shocks. Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ 35X12.5R20's with some painted Bushwacker Fender flares. I am going to hold on the wheels until the fall. ( I still don't know what wheels I want and I do not want to make a bad buy) I will post some pictures of the lifted sport in a few weeks.

6" Pro Comp suspension lift
295/65R20 (35.5x12.2x20) Nitto Trail Grapplers
20" factory sport rims painted black
2" custom-made steel wheel spacer

Thanks man! It's good to be up there with you guys finally! Say, this is one thing that's bothering me, but now that there's more gap between the top of the fender and the tire, I'm wondering if there's a way to add more of the fender lining to cover up more of the wheel well? Here's a pic of what I'm talking about - I think if I could just make the liner go straight across that would be better and would cover up more.

Musclemckeester · Jun 16, 2011

Haha maybe I'll just paint some cardboard black and duct tape it up there!

You know anyone who wants 35s? lol I would have to sell these for a pretty decent amount to get enough for 37s. Heck, Dave is practically giving away his 35s and no one wants them!

The Houston CL has gone to crap. There is so much spam on there the last few times I tried to make a posting it said it posted but I could never find my own posting.

I've still got a brand new tire I used as an emergency spare on my last truck just sitting in the garage. Too bad it's a 16" rim otherwise I'd use it for this truck (sure beats the useless donut).

Musclemckeester · Jun 16, 2011

Perhaps, not a bad idea.

ebay = money ******.

but I did sell my iphone there this morning (well, offer accepted, no money in fist yet) - for $550. When its done, I'll probably get......500. Stupid fees

Mad Cow · Jun 16, 2011

Sorry for the slow reply Scott. The lift was $1730 for just the kit not counting install. The shock upgrades were like $15 each shock with the boot. I looked at both the zone and the procomp lifts and I liked the quality of the metal of the zone over the procomp.
My truck is in the shop now getting my lift and tricks.
Here is the picture of the truck right before they picked up my truck for the install.

Musclemckeester · Jun 16, 2011

Man, me too. I bet a red sport lifted is going to look awesome!

LB3711 · Jun 16, 2011

i so want to be lifted now.

Mad Cow · Jun 16, 2011

Thanks I will get it back tomorrow so I will post pics as soon as I get it home. I still can't make up my mind on wheels yet so I went with the stock wheels on the lift with some painted bushwacker fender flares.

Musclemckeester · Jun 17, 2011

Can't wait to see how your flares look with the lift. I'm really leaning towards the painted Pocket Flares myself.

Mad Cow · Jun 17, 2011

I had them on my 2008 and I loved them. I ran my Baja Claws that were 13.5 wide and it was hell on the truck so once I got the pocket style fender flares I was in love with how well they worked and looked. I say go for it you will not be upset with your decision.

Musclemckeester · Jun 17, 2011

Yeah I think that's probably the route I'm going to go. I'm still going to wait and see how yours look. Lol

Mad Cow · Jun 17, 2011

Kevin I don't blame you. I have a picture of them on my 2008 I could show ya now. The lift shop called me tonight after they closed and let me know my front end is complete with the lift and the back end is all apart and ready for the reat lift in the morning. He did say my fender flares were on and they looked awesome. He then started telling me that he took tons of pictures of them because of how great they look on the new ram.

Im just excited.

Musclemckeester · Jun 17, 2011

Yes you do. lol Mine will be painted. I don't think I will like them black. I'm pretty sure that's the route I'm going; I'm just trying to find the right time to order them. Who would have thought 4 fender flares would cost $400? Then the cost to paint them...

Thanks for the pictures J.T. I'm just waiting to see how they tie in the front flare with the fender since ours being sports have the solid bumper. That's the ony thing that I'm wondering about now.

I bet you're excited man. I know I sure was the night before I was supposed to get my truck back. As has been said before, it's like the night before Christmas.
