new-b, just picked up a ram

[chapnutz1]

just picked up an 04 ram SLT hemi 4x4, w/90k miles and its surprisingly clean for a new england truck




i hate chrome so i love that the bumpers and grill are color matched, wheels will be getting powder coated as well as the steps(wife wont let me take them off, dam it, but my daughter uses them to get in so its ok)
unsure if i want to do a torsion crank or use keys, and i want to lift the rear a little as well, was thinking about adding add-a-leaf springs to the rear to add a little hight as well as towing capacity as i mainly purchased this to tow my race car

making some changes and looking to break the 700whp mark this year('95 nissan 200sx se-r, 2.2liter neo VVL turbo)

Cheapest and easiest way, I had the same needs, do the crank bc u will need money for shock either way and factory keys are proven to do the crank and get the Firestone ride rite air bags, easy install and around 250 for it. Let me know if you need any help, I've ran this set up for over a year with no issues and haul and tow heavy loads some what frequent.

Oh and

lol, its feasible, moderately light car with a big ass whistler and a very capable engine/trans set up.

i am a nissan fanatic at heart and wanted a Titan in the worst way but my insurance was going to increase an insane amount, and i have always liked these, i traded in my 05 ser specV Stune package for the truck



car is SUPER CLEAN and RARE as hell...factory brembos, every nismo suspension part available factory installed, nismo intake, short shifter factory installed, nismo/rays engineering royal bronze wheels factory option, nismo front/rear lips and wing factory installed...i installed the following

ksport 36 way adj coilovers
crown SS brake line
crown SS clutch line
EBC yellow 6000 R race pads
EBC slotted/dimpled rotors
willwood synthetic brake fluid
ES motor mount inserts
ES front control arm bushings
2JR front anti lift kit
2JR offset rear trailing arm bushings
2JR leaded brass solid shifter bushings
2jr bumpsteer kit

this car was a blast to drive around limerock in CT, and was fast as hell through the turns

Welcome!

Sweet rides, I have never been much for the Japanese cars, but I can REALLY appreciate the work and potential when done right, the power you can get out of the tiny 4 bangers is crazy.

Nice truck too! You are definitely on the right track. I had a torsion key and an add-a-leaf in my old 05 Hemi and loved it. It looked awesome, and performed just as good too, no regrets at all.

Here's a pic to give you an idea

welcome. clean truck indeed. looks good.

I have grown to like the nissan brand as well

 

[Stroked]

Nice! I've never owned an import, but I can think of several I would love to have.

 

[WhiteExpress]

Cool Nissans! I've always been a fan. If I ever buy a commuter car, it'll be a Nissan Altima.

 

[chapnutz1]

made some changes today, was a little bored and it was real nice out so while my daughter played outside i took advantage

blacked out the chrome on the grill...chrome stays home, wheels are next

first light coat

my little helper

all done with bug shield installed

and removed these ugly things

also did the door and tailgate badging, didn't take any pics though...i used the plasti-dip product to do this


and last night i started my 4" downpipe/exhaust on my race car

its a tight ass fit, it was easy after the first few bends though, sent it right out the pass side of the front bumper
