Starting this build thread finally as I feel its finally worthy!! I bought it from a buddy in NY back in March, after my bday. Its an 09 SLT with HEMI, leather/cloth interior, 4x4 85k miles and mostly up north truck although its very clean only minor surface rust on rear axle bits. It came with a 1.5" spacer in the rear, nothing up front as the level was removed, 35x12.50 20s **** Cepek FCII and straight piped. Here's after I bought it..
I drove it from NY to Charlotte, NC avg 15.8 mpgs which is great considering an untuned truck, going through the mountains with 35s. Shortly after getting home, slapped a K&N intake on it and DiabloIntune performance tune- I had the tuner from my Jeep Commander. I was itching for a lift, I didnt want to put the front level that came with the truck. Shopped around for 5100s for months and got fed up. I finally order the ProComp ProRunners front and rear and could not be happier with their performance so far. Since the 35s were rubbing at full lock, I also added 1.5" hubcentric wheels spacer to give it a good look. Here are some before and afters of the lift..
After the install I gained just over 3" and its stayed there after settling. Love the ride and look of it but always have that itch for more. Adding a 1.5" bodylift soon, but needs cats replaced so looking to do LTs and new exhaust. This brings me to today and some fresh detail pics, this wasnt a special detail just a quick wash and wax. Looking forward to building this thing up, thanks for all the influence yall have provided!
Oh and just bought a passenger 13+ projector, once I get driver Ill be doing that swap
