thanks guys, yea those rims did look good but at the time i had them my front end was shot and wearing on those tires,plus the weight of those rims/tires was redicilous and they were putting alot of strain on things that were already bad. i paid 400 for all 4 of those tires with about 90% tread, those tires for one are about 375.

any of you guys have a 4.7 with work done to them? if so, what?

Looks good both ways! As for 1/4 mile, stock your truck would probably run mid 16s if not slower

I like it lifted. I think some different (darker) wheels would make it look really mean.

I've been debating the lift / lower thing myself. When I do anything, it'll go up. It's so much easier driving a lifted truck. You don't have to worry about curbs, driveway entrances and other seemingly non existent stuff.

That being said, you should be able to have a 2/5 drop without a rough ride. Something was done strange / incorrectly if it was riding poorly.

I think the answer is quite simple-

Buy another dodge and GET LOW!!! LOL!!!

Seriously though- LOWERED is better. :)
