I won't do the front

now with TGC 1.5" rear coil spacers to get back a little rake. I now have 1" rake. I'm about at the end of what I would do for lifting without putting bigger rubber on the truck. The rear setup has a LOT of empty space!

I also put an AEM dry filter in today. Initial eval says that was a nice little boost to throttle response. seat of the pants seems better than the stock filter.

Finally put the 5" exhaust tips on. They were shiny stainless that had been painted by the guy I bought them from. They were stripped and powder coated black by a friend, and finally got time and enough moral support from my wife's cousin to put them on. I will probably have them welded on; they are held on by 2 clamps on each side now.

I also installed the Hellwig anti-sway bar after the rear spacers were put on. I think I'll set it at the firmest setting. I like it now, but think it's not terribly different than the stock ride using the middle setting.

Now my list looks like this: (in chronological order)

Already done are:

1. Magnaflow muffler swap
2. Tinted side windows for driver and passenger to match factory rear
3. Stubby antenna
4. DeeZee slow open tailgate mod
5. Ram lighted hitch cover with hurt pigtail wiring
6. LED reverse lights
7. Factory Ram molded mud guards.
8. Weathertech floor mats front and rear
9. Undercover ultraflex tonneau
10. Swap front grille inserts from shiny billet to black honeycomb (like the Express version)
11. Level with Bilstein 5100s up front
12. TGC 1.5" rear coil spacer
13. Hellwig rear Anti-sway
14. Stainless works 5" conical double walled tips, powder coated black

well, the body lift is on- Zone 1.5". in the process, I lost one tip so I'm replacing the Stainless works tip with a set of Carven 5" tips. Those come in today, and I should have them on tomorrow. Here's the truck after the body lift. Next up are tires, spacers, and flares. that will be an expensive project.

Looking awesome! Bigger tires on stock wheels?

time to update the log.

most recently I sold the stock wheels after putting on new wheels- Anthem Gunners 20x10 et-24! Wrapped those in Falken Wildpeak AT3W 35x12.5r20.

My fender measurements are now 41 3/4 front, and 42 1/2 rear- both left and right are the same.

Very awesome! Any plans for fender flares? How's the 35's with 3.21 gears?

 

[shadowhawk]

I don't notice much degradation in performance Just filled the tank so we'll see how much that hurts mpg.

Still not sure on flares but if I do it will be the 2500 style

BEAST!!!

 

[shadowhawk]

I wanted to keep track of how much lift I've achieved since starting this mod path.

original measurements:
Before ground to fender straight up center of the wheel
LF: 36.25" RF: 36.75"
LR: 39 RR: 38.5

My fender measurements are now 41 3/4 front, and 42 1/2 rear- both left and right are the same.

BTW- I spent 20 mins looking thru all the old posts I made to find the dang numbers!

 

[tones2SS]
