First off I have had the "free" 2" air ride lift for around 8000 miles with zero issues. If you do not know about this mod and you have the factory air ride all you do is take the sensor links from the rear and swap them with the front sensors and you get a "free" 2" lift. I finally bought some new wheels and tires to fit the lift. They are 285/75r18 (34.8"x11.3") Toyo RT on 18x9 +1 Fuel Maverick D537s. I bought the package through Custom Wheel offsets on June 3rd and they were delivered yesterday on the 27th.. From just driving around today with the RTs I really like them! They are really quiet considering how aggressive they are, you can defiantly tell they are there but it is a very slight hum. I wont really know how much of a MPG hit I will take because i only live a mile away from where I work and that is pretty much all the commuting i do during the week... To fix the speedometer I bought a Hypertech Speedometer Celebrator- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006RQ44O4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1



I also swapped out all the rear lights for leds, they are super bright and they work with NERO issues.

The Third brake light I bought from Super Bright Leds and its ok... It is bright enough for me to not replace it yet but its not up to par.



I also did the cabin air filter mod, RPC Phone holder and the DEE ZEE tailgate assist.

I'm having an alignment done tomorrow and I will be having the front windows tinted to match soon.

I'll take that as a compliment![emoji2] here are my new wheels. The Mavs didn't have the offset I was looking for so I returned them and got Boosts with a -12 offset. Turned out great! Waiting on the 4" lift and fender flares.

The truck looks great! I honestly don't know how you can take the ride though with the link swap. I rode in a Rebel that had it done and it was punishing.

It's actually only a little bit stiffer than the stock ride... The rebel is probably rougher because they come a 1" higher stock compared to my Laramie. So when you lift the rebel you are maxing out the bags making them super stiff. I know on myn by just putting it in off road one it makes it ride like a pogo stick and that's the height the rebel would be by swapping the links.

Great looking ride man. What side steps do you have on that beast? Are they just stock Ram steps from the factory?

These are the steps-
Ionic Automotive | Ionic Gladiator Running Boards

I really like them! I wanted something really slim because I hate to look of running boards but I hate to get in a truck without them haha. They are doing good so far I have had them for a year and they still look new. The only thing that I don't like is the mounting plates are steel so they will rust out over time but the boards themselves are aluminum.
