Well I’ll be posting my Mopar lift for sale on Monday. I’ll also post some new photos of the truck and it’s current setup.

It went to Imagine Audio in Cherry Hill NJ. My buddy owns the business so I try and support him as much as possible.

Well I heard from my buddy and he swears the install was much harder then he and his crew expected. With that being the case, I won’t get it back until Tuesday. No big deal as I want it to be 100% sound before it comes back to my possession.

Well bad news based on what BDS told me I purchased a set of 35x12.50R 20 tires to put on my Limited wheels. Had all of that mounted and balanced and dropped that off to my lift installer. They now are telling me that with that Limited wheel and that size tire even with the 4” lift it won’t fit. So now I have to run my LT 275/55 until I grab another set of wheels with an offset of at least O or -12 or more.

It must be the lift itself. I had 35s on stock rims with level. That stinks you have to wait.

See I had called BDS personally and told them my thoughts. They expressed I could run those Limited wheels with 35” tires and their 4” lift. That’s the only reason I spent another $1600 on tires I really did not need. So now I’m going to have to run up there with my LT 275/55 tires and have those mounted onto my Limited wheels so that I can get that truck home.

So up for sale with be a set of 35” never used tires, 18” wheels, and 18” wheels with Toyo Open Country tires mounted onto them and well as a Mopar 2” updated kit asap.

It just gets to be worse, now I’m being told they can’t bleed the brakes. Their $10,000 tool they use only goes to 2018 and that Ram has a lock on the bypass. So now this means the truck has to go to Ram to have them bled.

Lol well I e come to the realization that if this had been my 4th gen all would have gone well. I also thought by going with top tier gear, problems would not be in my neck of the woods.

I see you got your truck back. Why did they say the 35s wouldn’t fit
