Thanks guys. The converter I put in is a 2800 stall speed 11" Hemiverter. The truck is running great, and I'm having a lot of fun with it now.

I actually took the Nitto's off yesterday and went back to the stock tires. The Nittos looked and performed great, but I just did not like that they stuck out a little bit. I have always been a fan of keeping the tires tucked in the fender on a stock height or lowered truck, so having them stick out almost an inch just bothered me. It makes me mad that Dodge left so little room for wider tires on these new trucks without rubbing the front control arm. I will likely be going to an aftermarket wheel with a closer to stock width tire just so that it doesn't look like every other truck on the road.

Bump.

Let's hear how many miles you've put on it since the rear coils and you're overall feeling on them.

I have now put about 6k miles on the truck, and I have been very happy with it. Coils are sitting perfect (only 1/4" higher in the back than the front), and the ride is like stock.

I have since added a Bakflip G2 bed cover, 2013 Projector housings from RetroShop, and Vararam Longtube headers. I had to pull the Nitto tires off though because they were just sticking out more than I liked with the front spacers. I think I'm due for some more pics sometime this weekend after cleaning the truck up.

OK guys, painted bumpers and sport mirrors are on. I'm really liking the way this came out. Painted grille will be done in a week or so.

I thought that rear bumper came from Jeremy?

It did. I bought the one from Rock Auto first, but then Jeremy and I worked out a deal on his that was already painted to match.

Here are some updated pictures of the truck. New mods are the 2013 Projector Headlamps from Retro Shop, replaced the Nittos with 305/50/20 Cooper LTZ's, and also added a Bakflip G2 Bed Cover...

I have decided that with the new shorter tires, I don't like the amount of fender gap...so I bought the Ground Force 2/3 drop as well. The lowering kit will be here on Tuesday, so I'm hoping to install that next weekend. More pics to come.

Coming together nicely. Feels like it needs some... pop.

I have always been a fan of clean and simple mods. I think the new stance from the drop is going to make a huge difference. I am tempted to go with an aftermarket wheel, but the clearances are so tight with the wide tire and front control arms, that I'm worried about finding a set that will clear without spacers.

And that rock auto rear is now in my possession. Doing dual 5" on a diesel.

:) Thanks man.

Hey Matt, can I ask for a side photo. I'm thinking about the same tire size. In addition you removed the front spacers? If so how close is it to the upper control arms? Thanks in advance
