d33k's build *pic heavy*

[D33k]

Okay so here she is, my 2010 dodge ram. I just bought it a few months ago and I am the second owner. The original owner purchased it from the dealership with the pro-comp lift installed. I'm guessing it looking something similar to the first few pictures.

The grille was swapped out with a laramie grille and the front and rear bumpers were color matched with the rest of the truck.

The previous owner didnt like the all chrome so he put the after market all black grille seen in the next few pictures. I wasn't a huge fan so I put the laramie grille back on and plasti-dipped the inserts black (basically looks like the oem st grille again). The tail lights are tinted, I painted the headlights and added pilot driving lights and nightvision 6000k hid's. I also added the spacers that were originally not installed on the pro comp lift (4.5 strut spacer, 1" worth of coil spring spacer). And lastly I just installed a 3" PA Body lift and flowmaster exhaust.

since i was planning on doing a body, i knew tow hooks were out either way, and my truck didnt have fogs so i went with these. Inexpensive and easy to wire.

when i had the crappy oem halogens they were a nice cheap upgrade. for a driving light i got some close range (like a fog) but i got some extra distance lighting, good for dark roads where i couldn't see the signs. Still noticeable with hid's but they are like an accessory light, not an off road light if that makes sense.

gotcha that makes sense. well they look cool too haha

nice but what happend to the black grille?

 

[Musclemckeester]

I'd skip 37s and go straight to 38s, especially with you having the 3" body.

Truck is looking good, has come a long way from the start!
