I picked up my 2015 Ram CC from Jimmy's Rod n Customs in Edgewater FL last weekend, and drove it 2700 miles round trip to Conroe TX for Lone Star Throwdown! (I just got back to SO FL tonight)
Here are some pics.. enjoy!
Its laying frame on 26" wheels. The engine and transmission cross members are raised, fully custom built suspension, raised bed floor, tubed firewall. featuring Viair compressors, and Accuair air management.

If you guys remember seeing the user "BlackSheep" he had a black ram bagged on 26s a few years ago. The same shop that did his, did mine.
He sold his ram last year, and here is a put of his new truck that Jimmy's Rod n Customs built.. a 2017 F350 bagged and body dropped.
We both debuted our trucks at LST over the weekend

Out of curioisity how does a bodied truck ride? Did you have a conventional drop before to give you something to compare with?

Man that thing is bad ass! Was looking at LST coverage and pics on Jimmys Rod's IG. Before my Ram I had a 2012 Kia Optima on hydraulics. Kinda miss the adjustability.

I drove this truck stock for about 8 month, I did a 3"/5" belltech drop, drove it like that for about 16 months, and now like this.
It rides great now because it is literally riding on bags of air, like a stock Caddy or Lincoln does. As long as you put good shocks on it, so its not bouncy, it rides better than stock. and I ride height it has a lot of suspension travel, so the suspension will basically never bottom out.

Damn more reason for me to aim to body mine lol even though i just dropped it down 5/7 recently. Pics of bodied Rams at the Lst truck show made me look lifted aha

Looks sweet, I'd ditch the camper shell for a fiberglass tonneau and for some reason i think powdercoating the exhaust tips same color as the wheels would pop. Very nice ride

Not my choice of wheels, but love the stance.. And please please don't do whatever is it that jedeisurf is suggesting.. :wtf2:


Out of curiosity... what does something like that cost.. If you don't mind me asking? I always see these southern boys bagging and bodied on brand new'ish trucks.. and I couldn't imagine cutting into a new truck, let alone the cost of it. I'm assuming $6-8k easily.. ??

it looks like those ricers we used to make fun of back in 2002-ish. Glad you have a hobby, but imo, it's ugly and cheesy as hell. It can't tow anything, can it even be a daily driver? How are speed bumps?!?! What a waste of dough!

^ different strokes for different folks. not everyone owns a truck to tow with. It’s a hobby. Don’t worry about someone else’s money.
