Here is a few progress pics... And your right it didn't "happen" but it is happening right now... Maybe from the jealous quote I should nickname it "fairy tale"!!! Well anyway it has lots of work to go but it's all here. Now I just need time. Once again, thanks for the heads up on the upper control arms.

Obviously ones running their mouth. "Pic or didn't happen" "pic or ****"... Blah blah... No one asked for your ******** remarks but I did ask for advice and opinions on any parts being used. So now how about helpful info or **** my post.....

Thanks to all being helpful and thanks to all that is welcoming. I appreciate all your input on this build! So now that it is proven to be real, does anyone have any input on the planned future parts?

I have decided to order the XD809 in 20x12s instead of the 20x12 MOTO METAL MO962s. Does anone have any opinions, sugestions, and/or information on bumpers? I would like something like the Iron Bull bumpers or the Smittybuilt M1 (not available until Nov.) but want to see whats out there and if anyone has any experience with them.

Boondock bumpers on 4th gen look the best IMO , if you call direct to him , he will custom a bumper to accomidate your body lift and it doesnt look like a big smiley mouth like the iron bull ones I have seen . You can purchase these for under 1000 with a nice powder coating and a bull bar also , cant dowload pics now but I do believe they have one on there website showing a black 1500 ,and if you go to there 85 series products shows a pic of it that is here locally and it looks very sharp.. Keep in mind you are adding another 150 pounds of steel to your front end going with any aftermarket bumper

Shoot.... 38s look kinda small. I think I am redirecting to IROK 41s and have been torn between them and TSL/SX 43s both 14.5x20s. any sugestions on 41 IROK radial vs. the TSL/SX?

This is one of the baddest rams I've seen bro.... Super jealous lol. I plan on doing a similar setup but gotta start with just the body lift until money starts growing on trees lol.... Nice work man.

38" is about right for that lift. You can fit larger tires, but you will have less usable articulation and rubbing issues. Do you plan on taking it off-road? Irok's are pizza cutters. Get yourself some Toyo MTs.

Ok, first of all... Calm down. It's a forum. And NO ONE here gets up tight on people joking around. You joined the forum and posted that I had a truck that u we're looking to fix up. I asked for pics. Not a big deal... Like wtf...

Now, back on topic, it looks like a beast and I almost went with those tires... LoL, it was a tough choice.
Trucks fixin to be one of the best I've seen. Good job!
