whats up RamFam! So long story short, I sold my truck about 2015 because I had a work truck and was paying for this to sit in the driveway and never drove it. Fast forward to now. Found a screamin’ deal on a brand new 2017 1500 Ecodiesel, so I pick it up Friday! I got a wishlist that is rather modest from what I did in the past (older is wiser I suppose) anyhow. missed y’all! Can’t wait to chat it up again

Welcome back. Mind sharing some details on the screaming deal? I have considered getting one but wasn’t sure about reliability.

Yeah.
Kernersville ram in Kernersville NC has a buttload of 2017 ecodiesels Big Horns crew cabs for 35,721$ They’ve got like 16-17,000$ rebates going on right now, I’m assuming it’s to make room for 18’s or 19’s etc. I mean that’s what I paid for the 2013 express quad cab!!! Test drove an 18 eco at my local dealer today just to confirm I wanted to go through with it (will be driving 800mi round trip to get this truck) and it made me fall even more In love with it that I wish I was going now instead of waiting 48 more hours. I’d like to do a ppei delete tune ASAP, a level kit and some nice 20’s with 33’s. Keep it a sleeper but make it quick.

Congrats!

That’s almost exactly what I did with my truck except I added a 1.5” spacer in the back. 2.8 bilsteins on factory 20’s and 33” Falken Wildpeak AT3’s.

Here’s an unflattering picture but I got my old leveling kit I’ll slap on it here in a few days or so, wheels and tires are gonna be sooner than I’d like probably because these wheels are like the worst stock ones that ram puts out in my humble opinion

Nah I drive round trip 100miles a day roughly now for work, so it will absolutely get its use in just on commute thanks for the offer though!
