so last weekend I picked up a 2017 Ram 1500. Traded in a 2016... long story short the upgraded needed to be done for family and work reasons...

Then I go to my local aftermarket shop where I have spent more money then I’d like to admit looking for side steps.

Well. I walked out with a 4 inch lift. 20x10 motometal rims and 35x12.50x20 tires..

Totalling much much more then I’d like to admit..

Worse of all ?

I forgot the sidesteps....

Very lucky I own my own buisiness, so it all goes through there. Otherwise I’d be in some serious trouble lol

Very interesting question. Pics will be posted next week when everything arrives...

As for the lift.

I told him I wanted pro comp or BDS. Now keep in mind I’m looking for entry level kits as it is a pavement princess for work..

He asked me why not rough country and save some money.

I replied with I’ve heard they’re cheap garage... he said why ?

I really didn’t have an answer.

He ordered the pro comp kit and the rough country for me. He said if I see a serious difference between the two entry level kits he will buy me a beer.

And if I end up with the rough country I owe him a beer, apparently there’s be a bad name for rough country lifts going around even though all entry level kits are identical.

I should make a sub threat on this.

if you plan to wheel it, get rock sliders instead of side steps...
