Sweet truck man. Are you planning on the stage 1 or stage 2 kit then?? I plan on getting the bumper and fender flares from kore and figuring out something for the liner, not sure what to use but ill figure out something haha. isnt the point of the new kit so that your wheels can travel into your wheel well more? so then getting really wide tires and such would kind of ruin the point of getting the fenders and suspension? im pretty sure kore suggests 17x8 or 17x9 wheels
The CVs should be coming out soon, i called and asked and they actually asked if i could possibly be a test truck (kinda asked) lol long story short is i live 6000 miles away so thats a no go!
Hey just realized you live in calgary, we should get our ram runners together some time when we get em!
anyways, heres another option for you to consider if you want! Kore stage 1 kit is sweet i have to agree, but the route im taking is Icon front coil over replacement (up to 3" lift) with kore CVs when they come out, and a new upper control arm
for the rear i have on order some icon rear coils (1.5 inches of lift) and icon rear piggy back reservoir shocks (another 1.5 inches) im thinking this will give me a pretty sweet ride, with same clearance as the kore kit. Its a little more expensive but you get new coilovers and rear coils vs just putting in a shock. i think once im done it will be $3200 in parts? 800 for the rear stuff, 1000 for the front coilovers, 800 for CVs and 600 for upper arm
Great looking truck! My second favourite color!
haha well we will order 2s of everything and you can pick it up then ill pick it up from you lol i think im taking a trip down to washington anyways actually this summer so id pick it up there
man the sales on now are awesome i got my shocks and coils for 800 (200 in shipping) regular i think their like 1200? something like that
Ya know its a sweet looking ride just sitting as it is.
I read Kore and 9" wide rims and I'm all here.....lol
When we doing Kore? I'm heavily considering that front bumper as well. I'm really digging it.
As for the 9" wide wheels, if you're planning on running flares make sure you get a negative offset as in -12.
Otherwise move to a 10" wide rim and start with the -12 and maybe look at -24.
TXKID has -44
But it's all in how you want your stance. 9" wide was NOT wide enough for me.
I'm now at 20x10 with -24 offset and could not be more happier.
I do have flares going on shortly but the wheels will stick poke out. Exactly what I want.
In my opinion tho.....stay stock
LOL
Lol! Well the plan is this February, just waiting on my bonus and tax return and then the shopping begins!
I love the look of the bumper, pretty much seals the deal for me lol. Wheels however, I can't make up my mind with all these offsets and rim widths.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone running a -44 offset before lol! I want to make the right decision the first time. If I decide to not run the Kore fenders I'd like the wheels poking out past the stock fenders, not a huge amount but a nice stance. If I did go with the fenders, I'd like the wheels poking out a tiny bit. The problem is finding a wheel I like with the right offset.
I've never had aftermarket wheels before so I'm still learning all the offsets and stuff like that lol. How far out would a 17x8.5 rim with 0 offset stick out? If any?
As for stock, I have this compulsion lol can't leave anything stock hahah
Sweet....possibly the same time as me
As for the wheels, determine first what you'll be doing. The kore fenders, flares or nada.
That will determine what offset to run.
17x8.5 with 0 offset will stick out, but honestly I would not run it if you want it poking out. Yes it does poke out, but not enough to make you smile. Especially since you're going after that baja look.
But first determine what I said above. Don't buy the wheels till you figure this out otherwise you may have to sell wheels when you decide to go wide on those fenders or even add flares
Well 17x8.5 with 0 offset would probably stick out likr an inch? Not very much at all lol. With the kore fendere just make sure you don't get them to far out then the wheels couldnt travel into. The wheel wrll like their designed
