Fairly new member here. Love my Ram. Have installed Vararam intake, 180 tstat, Moe's ported throttle body, 2" drop in the rear, new rear springs, shocks, sway bar, Carven Progressive muffler, Powerstop Z36 pads and rotors, Moe's Billet catch can, and deleted AGR. I have Moe's 5" tips on order and on the way now!f4dc21bd31782358998ee69fdf33e016.jpgc95903d36b8ba33a58a853c718a63915.jpg

Thank you! I do too! Living in Houston with rain, dust, and construction, it is hard to keep vehicles clean, black and white show dirt almost instantly, so I went with a more neutral color. This color is so much easier to keep looking clean.

Welcome to the forum! That's a great looking RAM!I looked at a bunch of those on eBay mostly when that particular package came out a couple years ago and man were there some spectacular deals on them. Glad you decided to keep the stock rims as well because they look damn good compared to 99% of anything aftermarket available. The only wheels I like better are the stock Limited "snowflake" wheels as I've heard them called. Wouldn't hesitate to put either on my truck.

I love the stock appearance for the most part...I just wanted to make some subtle appearance changes, like dropping the rear end 2" to level it out, tint the windows, and replace the stock antenna. Never was really a "chrome guy" until I saw this truck. And I agree with the wheels, I think the appearance and width of the wheels are perfect and give the truck a great stance. I pondered changing the wheels but feared I would regret it in the long run and go back to stock.

I thought about looking into the set that are for sale in the for sale section, just not sure how they would look with the chrome bumpers, mirrors, etc.
