I got my rig about 4 years ago new to me. It's a 2013 1500 Express 4wd. Previous owner added a 6 inch Pro Comp lift and 35 12.50 20 nitro ridge grapplers with XD wheels (not sure of the wheel specs).

Lately I had been having some issues with my steering which led to some much needed upgrading to the underneath.

New:
•cv axles
•inner and outer tie rod ends
•upper and lower ball joints
•intermediate steering shaft u joint
•sway bar end links and bushings.
•steering rack (stupid EPS)
•Fox shocks all around. Performance Series 2.0 Coil overs up front - Performance Series 2.0 Smooth Body IFP shocks in the rear
•Nitto Ridge Grapplers - 35x12.50x20
•black Gorilla lug nuts (because one of them broke off while replacing the tires and found out they were the incorrect size)

Fast forward to today ... after some waiting on the parts to ship ... and a couple of hiccups with the install. This thing rides like a freakin' dream! I never want to get out. I now take the long way everywhere I go

Now all I need to do is keep it clean!

It's funny what a difference it makes when you finally get everything dialed in just perfect.

Hello, quick question how do you like your rims? I'm thinking of buying some XD Series XD847 Outbreaks & I'm new to owning a truck and what rims are good on trucks.

Looks great. But I know those ridge grapplers will start to get noisy after a little while

I do like my rims. I don't love them. Not a fan of the little gray "lugs" all around the outside. Pain in the butt to clean. If those weren't on there they would be the perfect rim. So, other than picking apart the appearance ... Great rim
