    2500 Factory Wheel Size vs 1500 Factory Wheel Size

    2500s are work trucks, 1500s are your pretty everyday trucks...auto companies market that because 80% of people do not need a 2500+ work truck to drive 8 miles to work. I put 20x10s on my 1500, it has 20's factory. I like them better then 17's or 18s anyway. the bigger the rams get the larger...

    2x4 conversion to 4x4

    If any of ya'll build anything ground up it's gonna take more time and money then even budgeting for. Sell the 2wd but a 4x4. No one in their right mind will buy a used 2wd converted to 4x4 truck. Do you really need 4x4, 90% of us who buy them don't. Want to offroad your truck and waste...

    some help customizing?

    put a leveling kit on it, a hood scoop and a roll pan. They look awesome on 4x4 trucks...dumb on tits on a bull (2wd trucks) Some different tires will make it more aggressive even if you keep the stock 20s. I started with a stock truck and tried to be different but classy and not all...

    body lift question

    Don't see why I wouldn't work. but I wouldn't buy a 3" body lift. either get a 4 in suspchepn lift and then put a 1" body lift on it. 3" like to flex and loosen up...if your find with a 6.75" bolt holding your cab up go for it...Me personal, long bolts don't hold crap tight with flex.
