Thanks. The vinyl wrap color is a nice choice as it blends in the dirt and much easier to maintain.

I've been thinking about plastidipping it orange.
Ta for the pics. Which tire/wheel set up do you believe handled the best?

305/45/18 are nitto drag radials so they def' had the advantage over street tire in regards to hole shot and has ok handling. Has some tread protection to elements but not as much as street tires obviously. Use them 7 months of year and off during monsoons since they can be weary in wet conditions.

295/45/17 are toyos st ii and they perform great as street tires.

I like the SS/T rims, they are 17x9 and can be bought at Hub Cap Heaven for $130 ea. shipped. I prefer 18" with a larger selection of tires available. My choice of rims are the Durango and these 18" American Racing Silver AR898 5x5 5 Sportage Durango Grand Vitara Rims Wheels | eBay

Do you have any pics of your truck with the Durango 18s? I did a google search for those wheels on a Ram and came across a post of yours on another forum stating that you had some on your truck for a while, but I didn't see any pics. Thanks.

Sorry, no I don't have a picture of them mounted. But they looked like this rim.

Those durango 18's look good. I really need to trade off my 22" srt rims so I can lower my ride a lot
