First off, I'm gonna start by saying that everyone needs to steer clear of 4wheelparts. My truck is currently not done yet because there were issues with the alignment, but I was told that it should have been done about a month ago. I had ordered a fabtech 6" suspension kit, but later came to find out that it was on back order, and they had to make a whole new one. After waiting multiple weeks, it was finally there, or so I was told. I gladly sent my truck in to be done with this ****, but nope. To retro fit the 2011 lift kit to the 2012 ram, you needed adapters, but they had not mentioned that to fabtech so I then had to wait another week while my truck was still sitting in their shop. They finally got it on and sent me pics, but are now saying that the alignment was maxed out so they are having to trim a few pieces or some **** like that, so I'm praying that their bums for mechanics will be done by tomorrow.

I thought though that I would share a few pics of my truck bc even with the ****** service, I am still pleasantly delighted on the look of my truck.

Wow, nice!

And yes, 4WP has a very bad reputation in the 4x4 off-road world.

Truck looks good! Which 4 Wheel Parts location is this?

My lift took almost a week after some complications. The wait sucks but will be worth it.

It was the location on westheimer, I had previously gone to the one on fm 1960 with no problems at all though

I won't even order from 4 wheel anymore. Took a month and a half to get my parts and didn't say anything on ther website about being on back order.

So are you doing just a 6" suspension lift? I see your exhaust is hanging low like you've got a body lift added too.

My truck took a day to do. Sorry it took so long bro. I hope you get that bad boy home soon!! Love the look!!

What size tires and did you do the 5" rear?

It was 6" all around, I (unlike many people it seems) prefer the slightly lifted back with the lower front

Sweet. Going to make those 37s look small with that much lift though haha.

The thing about having a lower front end for me is ground clearance.

Yea the tires might look a little small, but when I pay for my next set, I'll go to 40" tires

As for ground clearance, it really shouldn't matter after 6"s of lift unless you're into serious off roading

40s...I like the sound of this!

You haven't seen what I get into have you? :D Ground clearance is always a factor!

My only complaint of 4 wheel parts on westheimer, i ordered a pro comp 6" and being almost 2 hours away it sucked to find out that 2 boxes were identical and would take almost 2 days to get the correct box to me and they would charge me until they receive the other box. so no choice to make the drive again up there.
