Yes I really like it and yes it’s all oem parts so no drama from any dealership. What I’m going to do next is definitely add those Nittos in 285/65 to my current set of Limited wheels.

I’m going to head to my go to shop and talk with them about adding a 4” B.D.S kit as opposed to my current Mopar 2” lift. Need to know if I need to run 35x12.50 on my 18” wheels or on my 20” limited wheels if possible.

Ok so it looks like it will be 18’ wheels. So I’m listing my current 18” wheels, my Limited wheels, and my 20” tires separately for sale..

Well the poor Ram is sitting and freezing lol. I remote start it every two days just to dust her off. I really need to either start driving it, or widen my garage and putting it in there. The thing is being retired I really don’t need to go places, so I spend most of my time in the house. Hence why I had so many things done so quickly lol.

GOt friends who say they have never worked so hard, after Retirement.

Already told all my kids, I will gladly drink your Beer, eat your Steak and Point but Dad ain't doing anything more than that.
It;s how Dad learned adn they will too.

Now I need to order a set of 35x12.50x20 tires for this lift. Don’t want a harsh riding tire. I don’t off-road, tow, or haul anything besides my large frame. So with that being the case who has any suggestions ?

Lol neither can I as I’ve been truly disappointed by how a stock 4x4 looks like it’s not a 4x4. I’m having a “ fire “ sale of everything vehicle related just so I don’t feel guilty about adding more things to this truck lol...

Thank you, hopefully with the addition of the 4” lift it will step it up.
