[GlOcKnRaM]

3.55 gears...dont really want to upgrade yet and void the warranty! Thanks for the compliments!

 

[Lostnwalmart]

It's amazing how wheels and tires Change how a truck looks!

Till you go with larger tires

 

[Catchin Zs]

You got a nice rig man! I say we get a photoshoot with the two trucks next Saturday

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Good to know about the gears/warranty! Maybe now Ill do some 3.92 or 4.10 even tho these 3.55 are fine

Sounds good about saturday! Show these Texans and Canadians how we southerners do it...meant as a joke no offense to anyone lol

 

[1500ram12]

3.92's will be your only option unless you want to have some fab work done to the carriers to fit after market gears

He said just by me describing what needed to be done, he may be able to just weld on some shorter brackets and heat/bend the pipes a tad if needed. I forget how close the tips were to the bumper when stock but im going to try and get them between .5"-1" off the bumper now. Going to weld in my 18" Magnaflow and possibly remove the resanator?????

its true what he is saying, but he hasn't seen those corner brackets yet
considering you got stock tips, you should be ok, but I still think you may hit them or he may have to push they out to the side to avoid them.
Or you may just be ok....just telling you what I had to do once I had my body lift installed.

I set my tips at 3/8" away from the body and love it as it is tucked nice and close.
It use to be 1" away.

Just saw you last pic in your lift/flares install thread....
I think I saw what looks like mine....but it was hard to tell in your pic.
Again, yours may not be as bad as mine (but see below pic)
Look through my cutouts and you can see the edge of the bumper/hitch bracket now hanging too look...
My tips could not be adjusted close enough because of those 2 edges (both sides). Those were the only thing from allow me to get my exhaust as close to the way it was before or better.

Have a look

 

[GlOcKnRaM]

Yeah I think im going to see if he can get them. 5" away from the bumper. Should look good there! Did you do anything else other than relocation?? I thought about removing my resonator?

Those guys in the pic are there to cut those tabs off and weld to keep the strength.
My tips are now 3/8" away from the body

Have a looky
