Lifting the next Truck..

[03lowram]

I'm kicking around ideas for the next truck, and wanted to get all the feed back and info I can before I actually purchase everything. Right now I have my eye on 2 Crew cab Rams, both are 2010's and 2wd. I cant find any 4wd that I like (color) or (low mileage). I'm also going to a 2010 because of gearing.. I know I can get the carrier modify but don't wanna deal with all that for the 11 and up. I plan on running 4:56 gears. Also.. 2010 I can tune it

The set up I have in mind is:
CST 7" Lift.
1.25" or 3" Body lift. (cant pick)
Nitto 37/13.5/20 or (22) cant pick Tires.
Fuel Hostage or Octane 20X12 or 22X12 -44 offset.
Bilstein shocks.


I don't want the tucked look... I want the tires to stick out pretty far. Is that good with -44 Offset? Any cutting required? Ive always had lowered trucks/cars. This will be my first lifted one.

All the feed back would be great!
Thanks guys.

Truck below is CST 7" Lift with 35/12.5/20


Truck below CST 7" lift plus 3" Body on 38/15/20

do it.

I think both look great! Is that Robbie's before the transformation?

 

[quietpeen]

plan sounds good.....those two trucks you posted look great

That offset will get you a nice wide stance if you do the 3" body you should be able to fit those tires I have the CST lift and love it I say go for it

Going to look real nice

It sure is. I'd definitely go with the 3" body with a full on suspension lift.

Sam, think you'll have all this on by November 3rd?

Houston Area Upcoming G2G

Just do either of them man.....Im getting giddy just waiting to see this.
Smart move on the 10 (tune and gears wise)

-44 on 37's with that lift should be no problem at all. especially with a body lift.

You should install the BL first, and post lots of pictures.
I'm still tempted to go that route.

Your truck helped me make up my mind bud! It looks sick on those 37's!
What offset is your rims? Any plans for a body lift down the road?

I actually have a 1.25" body lift sitting on my office floor.
I had em sold to another member, but now sure where he went.
I may just install it.

Wheels are officially for sale.

Getting rid of the single cab?

Every week Sam wants a different truck, car, jeep, etc...

If he doesnt buy one by next week, he is going to change his mind again

What wheels you plan on running next? 37/13.5/22 Tires?? I think that's what I'm leaning towards! For mine.

Cant spill the beans just yet.
Nothing crazy, just different.

I hear ya on the 13.5.... 12.5" is not bad either. Slightly lighter and the aggressive look of the trail grapplers is incomparable

I just like that wide stance! Plus if I run 12" wide rims, They will look great on the 13.5" wide tire.

What gears do you have now? Whats your MPG's like?
I already got an idea for my next custom plate

 

[SILVER_BULLET]

Yup!!
