Looks killer!

Thanks! I debadged the sides of the truck today and I think it really sets off the profile of the truck. Up next i'm going to toss a leather tonneau on and try my hand at a matte black roof wrap :)

FINALLY made up my mind on wheels and tires and got them installed yesterday and had my belltech 2/4 put on this am. Love how it turned out. I need to finish pulling the badges off (sides don't match). What do you all think?

Looks great, I debadged mine on day one. Gives the truck and smoother more fluid look. I still need to lower mine but can't decide between 1-2 or 2-3 drop. I haul a sportbike in the bed once in a while and need the suspension travel for comfort.

Still New To The Site But Here's My 2012 Ram. Nothing Special Just 2/4 Drop And Hellcat Wheels

Sweet. Those wheels are nice!! Might have to look around for a set.

Spacers next on mine just to fill the arch extensions a little.

Do the wheels have the same bolt pattern or did you have to use a conversion spacer(not sure if I got the name right?)?

Edit-Never mind, just saw your other post about the wheels and where you got them.

Here is my 2/4 belltech drop. It won't be this low for long as the ride quality is very poor. But it does look pretty good IMO.

You don't think upgrading to sport shocks would fix your ride issues? It does look really good!

No, I do not. The Belltech 2/4 kit I got came with the street performance shocks. I am running street performance shocks ONLY in the rear (which people say is much better than the stock rear shocks).

I am running stock shocks in the front (as people said the street performance shocks would be a downgrade if going from the stock shocks **only in front**).

I have not really had any issue with the front. It has all been the rear. I do not think it has anything to do with the shocks either but really all to do with the springs. They are not stiff enough (many people have said they have the same spring rate as the stock springs.... so you are losing 4 inches of travel and they are just as soft as stock. Sounds like a recipe for failure). So the truck is sitting about an inch or less from the bump stops while at rest. There just is not enough suspension travel.

Go look at my post in the lowered forum. I have pictures of how close the rears are sitting.

Looks good, I like the color and the wheels. What tire size did you do 305/40/22 or 285/45/22? Do the wheels stick out past the fenders at all? I want to put the same wheels on my CC.
