My final transformation...hopefully.

Hey guys, I have some new pics of what looks like a totally different truck! After a few close calls with my pregnant wife almost falling out of my lifted truck, it is back to stock height up front with the rear end lowered about 2 inches. When I was taking my lift off, I just cut 1.5 coils off to give it a level stance. I still need to drill a new hole to re-align my track bar, but no issues so far. I mounted up some Nitto 420s 305/45r22 on OEWheelsllc 22x10 gloss black SRT10 replicas today. First impressions on the wheels out of the box...WOW. They have a flawless mirror finish, as smooth as glass. They balanced great with no vibes up to about 95mph so far. No rubbing at all. I have plenty of room by the sway bar. It is closest at the Upper control arm, where it bulges out at the ball joint. But I can still squeeze my pointer finger in between it. Doesn't even rub at full lock. The only complaint I have with OE WHEELS was they sent the wrong lug nuts, even after I left a note with my order of what size I needed. After ordering two sets of wheels from two different vendors, both have sent 9/16" lug nuts when 2012 and up models use m14x1.50 lugs...frustrating. They immediately refunded my money no questions asked, so I cant be too mad I guess. I am just using the stock lug nuts for now, and the locking nut sticks out a good bit, o well. Here are some pics after a nice wash.











What it looked like before

Mpg should go up nicely too.

What's the offset on those rims?

Thanks man, I like the new look a lot. Just as long as it aint stock!

Mpg should go up nicely too.

Sure did. Went up almost 3mpg hand calculated. That was with the stock tires and wheels. Im sure I will lose a smidge due to the weight of the 22s, but shouldn't be much at all. Offset is 25.4mm

How about some pics straight at the front and back? I wanna see if those wheels stick out of the wheel wells any at all.

Thanks David! It is definitely more agile and quicker. Harsh bumps were a little better with the big tires because of the huge sidewall, but overall driveability is much better. These tires are great in cornering and grip. Happy with the changes so far.

 

[BlownGP]

Looks real good man. What a change.. lol

 

[012RAMbo]

Thank you sir!
