    My Ram 1500 to 2500 transformation

    Hey y'all!! Just wanted to showcase the transformation of my truck over the last 6 years. This truck is essentially my "shop truck" for my business FTK Performance. It started out as brand new 2017 SXT off the lot and I slowly turned it into my dream truck. Originally did a full blackout...

    Thank you! I'm super thrilled with how it turned out.

    Well, she's done! Finished up the installation of everything last week, just didn't have time to post about it. I also ended up using an old A/C Condenser from a customers car at my shop and made a faux "intercooler" filler panel to cover up the gap the 2500 bumper leaves where the intercooler...

    Hey y'all. 2500 HD front end swap has officially begun. I'm just waiting at the moment for my custom front bumper brackets to come back from powercoating so I can finish up the install and mount the bumper. As of right now I have swapped over the hood, grille and bumper fillers. As with the...

    Level with zone 1.5" body lift pics

    Did anyone need to do an alignment after doing their body lift? For some reason my steering wheels was slightly off to the right after doing the lift.

    Just checking in again! Can believe it's been almost a year since my last post, LOL. I ended up installing a Zone 1.5" Body Lift on my truck, but haven't touched the front bumper to relocate it as I'm waiting for my paint guy to finish painting all the parts I have to complete my Ram 2500 / HD...

    Not many changes, just been driving it and enjoying it. Tossed on a set of 2500 fender flares as I'm planning on doing a 2500 front end swap at some point too! Enjoy the photos.

    Awesome! I used conversion harnesses from ESSK Customs here in Canada.

    So here goes, got the Carli Commuter Kit installed today since it was a slow day at the shop and quite honestly I couldn't wait any longer, the parts were just staring at me in the living room. LOL My old set was a pair Bilstein 5100 struts set to 2.1" with nothing done to the rear. It served...

    This truck looks amazing! I'm still liking it better with the flares on tho.

    I've always wanted a bit more "bark" to the truck, without having to have something excessively loud/obnoxious and be full of drone. So I opted for a FloPro 2511 direct fit muffler. If stock is 1 and muffler delete is 10, I'd say this a 3-4 at MOST. It's the same size as OEM but it's straight...

    Haha! I'm waiting for the snow and salt to go away first! Even though I'll be running it through winter going forward, it's nice to have it stay shiny for just that much longer this summer. LOL.

    I'm still on the hunt for a full centre console, but overall this interior is a nice place to be. :)

    Just wanted to share some previous updates that I never included in the first post. Three major interior changes that I feel like are worth doing if you have base model truck like I did. I updated the cluster to the 7" color unit, went from the UConnect 5.0 to the UConnect 8.4 and finally my...

    Been toying the idea of flares. I see them on 2500's and I'm hooked, but one 1500's I'm not a fan of how far down they come in the front to reach the bumper. Thoughts?

    Looks fantastic with the lift and BL! How long did it take you to do the BL? I plan on doing a 1.5 BL as well once I get my Carli Commuter in to replace the Bilsteins.

    Update! While I have no complaints with the Bilstein front leveling shocks that have been on the truck for 3 years now, I wanted a little bit more lift and even better ride quality. When you think epic riding truck, you think Carli suspension so that's exactly the route I went. Ordered a Carli...

    3.55 to 3.92 - is it worth it?

    Hey y'all. I have a 2017 Ram 1500 with 3.55's. I'm looking at doing a swap to 3.92's since I'm on 35's (would love 37's in the future as well) with the 6 spd trans. Now this isn't a question about if it's worth it cost wise, I own a shop so doing the work is easy, along with having a lead on...

    I have a spare front metal bumper and I've been toying with the idea of chopping it up and doing some fabrication to make it look similar to a Minotaur Ram front bumper. Their bumper is fiberglass and once piece, but I'm confident I can make a similar looking bottom portion with a metal bumper...

    Ended up scoring an upper glove box for free! It's not in the best 10/10 condition, but I'm pleased with the little upgrade. For the most part it's just a little dirty and needs a good scrub. Before: After:
