The looks good. Just out of curiosity, the BDS website says that lift can fit 37" tires. Could you have squeezed a little more rubber under there?

I have 35's and yes I could go with 37's with some simple front end mods. I may get 37's in a couple years.

I like the look of the kc hilites cage... and you can get them in black as well for $25 I personally have had a great experience with the kc's and I think they will be the next set I buy as well.

awesome looking truck man! what size rim/tire set up did you go with? im in the same boat. I want about to order my 6 inch lift, but am not sure if I should go with 22 inch rims on 37's or 20 on 35's

So I was wondering what you guys think about getting a couple more inches of lift on my ttruck. I'm looking at these http://www.amazon.com/Rancho-RS9999...00|2760&Year=2008|2008&carId=001&n=15684181&s
Not sure what all options there are. Let me know if you guys have any ideas. Thanks
You could go that route, or if you only want the leveling shock without the spring and all that, you can go with Bilstein 5100s. A little cheaper as it is only a leveling shock vs the entire strut assembly that Rancho offers. It will eliminate the small rake you have.

Very nice! I have installed a few BDS lifts on newer Rams and they are by far the best lift out there! Everything is so well built it is insane! I want a lifted truck to go with my lowered sport truck so bad! Seeing your truck makes it even worse.

How hard are the Bilstein 5100s to install?

Thanks

Not hard at all. It's basically removing and installing the front shock. Remove strut assy from vehicle. Compress spring, undo top nut, remove shock from spring. Adjust the spring seat ring to your desired height on the bilstein, insert into spring, install top nut, undo the compression on the spring, install into vehicle.
