So I have my 2012 Ram with 33,000 miles on her.

So far I have done the following
Belltech 2/4 drop.
Tint all the way around
new tires 275/55r20 nexan rodian HP.
Flowmaster (which I may change to magnaflow)
De-badged.

Now I was thinking gears but with the 3.92 and the 275's I can def live with that.

My next mod of course is gonna get into some coin.

Thinking of the following.

1.Tune (more than likely diablo with hemi-fever) This would prolly be my best bang for the buck but I also have warranty to think about.

2.Wheels. I kinda like the stock look but open to suggestions.

3.Factory Lsd maybe.


Any other suggestions?

Out of the choices on your list: #3

Reasons: Not #1 unfortunately since your warranty (granted the install of LSD is warranted).
Not #2 Wheels look good for now. I think they would look good black, maybe with some plastidip to see if you like it then you can spring for something more permanent.
#3 I like how my ram handles and lays rubber with the LSD.

Maybe another suggestion: LED conversion and HID upgrade?

#2 but Id like to suggest the headlights also..black hids and rims would really make this thing mean..especially with the sport hood.

One of the many custom grills. They really add to the look of the Ram.

OK, so maybe I missed something but what is LSD...?

It's a ticket to a good time. Commonly delivered ******.

But really, LSD in auto terms stands for limited-slip differential. Lay two tracks of rubber rather than just one.

You will difinitely want an lsd imo best mod on the list but you'll pay a premium for a factory unit installed by the dealer and an aftermarket would void the warranty

My vote goes to the tuner. Not sure how it stacks up with warranty, and if your worried you could do supporting performance mods for now, like a Vararam/TB

Plasti Dip the Rims and wait til your new tires wear out then upgrade rims and tires, those actually look ok and will look great flat black. I say go for the tune, and get those transmission points changed. Do you really need LSD? If you really stand on it alot then ok, but tune first.

Second the headlight upgrade as well, new lights will make that truck look for real. It is just that damn yellow blinker light that messes the entire look up. Smoked out lights and plasti dip rims will make that puppy look mean.
