Recently test fitted my new 35's on stock rims with 1/4 inch spacers and posted up the results. After reflection I decided that the tires weren't just right on those 8" factory rims so I got me a set of 17 x 9 Ions with some extra offset.

I feel the Truck sits and rides better now. Tire just sticks out past the front Powerwagon flares just a tad and I should not get hassled (You should see some of the rigs around here) anyways I can always upgrade to some Bushwackers later but for now very pleased! Rear flaps need to come out a bit now to be centered on the tires so rather than elongate the holes in the flaps I will keep them for my OEM Rims and Special ordered a set of Gators with stainless inserts with Hemi Logo in Black....MTF on that. Front flaps need an additional fastener in the bottum as I am getting a slight rub.

Two front Rancho 0-2" Shocks coming next week also.

Some Cell Phone Pics.

Haha, hey, it was worth a shot! Don't cross your fingers for good weather though. We got a HUGE dump of snow (and I mean huge) last night/this morning. I was pushing snow a good part of my drive today and drove through a drift that came up to my hip (I'm 5'7 and had to get out to evaluate the drift a bit better lol)... no exaggeration. Love that Hemi power. Hopefully the weather holds out for you. I mean really, its half way through March for crying out loud! I'll keep my eyes open for your truck!
