New to RF as I just picked up a 2012 Quad Cab Express about a week ago. I drove a '96 Ram back in college and I've missed it ever since the day I sold it. drove a Hemi Durango for a while, until I traded it for a Suburban which the wifey quickly "stole" from me and left me driving a damn mini van. I finally got the "OK" to sell the van and get another truck.

Although I've only had it a week, thanks to lurking around the forum, just this past weekend I've debadged it, plastidipped the front and rear RAM heads, dropped in a K&N filter (first thing I do w/ anything I drive just so I don't have to replace the filter), and just yesterday I had it converted to true dual exhaust w/ Borla mufflers. I have a feeling this forum is going to be of some influence to me and my wallet!!

Here's the only pic I have so far, taken the day I picked it up. Meet Stonewall II

Nice ride. What lift & tires you running there?

Thanks! I don't know a whole lot about lift kits as this is the first 4x4 I've owned. The lift was done by 4x4 Works at the dealership where I bought the truck. It's a 6" suspension and I think they use RC kits. As for the tires, they're 35x12.5x20's but I can't remember what kind, but I know they're NOT Nittos.

Welcome!

That is one sweet ride! Were the wheels there already or did you add those?

Thanks, tradesman. That's exactly how I bought it. The rims are probably the sole purpose I got the truck. In other words, the Mrs loved them and thought it was a cool looking ride, so I was allowed to buy it! Honestly, I wasn't looking for a lifted truck, nor would I put on a lift if it wasn't already. But, after checking it out and taking it for a spin, it was just too nice to pass up. Only 14K miles and the price was right. Plus....it's not a minivan!
