Upgrade ideas for a new guy!

[Jim Law]

YO fellow RAM enthusiasts!

Just joined this forum and pumped to get involved.

Got a 2017 Copperhead with ONLY 16k miles. She is my baby!
I am looking to do some upgrades. Need new tires ASAP, due to dry rotting with 16k miles!

Want to level her and get her a little louder. New wheels are a possibility but havent found anything I really like....... ANY IDEAS?!?!?!?!

Nice looking truck! Love the color! Looks a lot better then the Tequilla Sunrise IMO. Welcome!

I would definitely ditch the SRA's. They are awful. I like my Toyos, Depending on what you want, you could lift or level it. As far as wheels go, I am running the stock chrome clads that I removed the cover and had painted. I did a custom Mopar center cap. They look good. I had the same issues like you. What to buy? There is tons of ideas on power adding, to over all driving. Just make sure you use oil that is spec to your engine. Dont just assume Mobil 1 is what you need to run.

I do have synthetic oil in her now!

Getting it louder is easy! If you want just a little louder this is a great option

Nice color. I prefer Nitto tires but other members had issues with them. So you'll really be on your own there and just have to see what works for you.

I can't see if your front windows are tinted. If not (and you can by law) I'd do that. Makes a big difference.

There's so many wheels available you'd probably need 3 months to see them all online and that's probably not even enough time.
I like sites that have a configurator you can get an idea. But that depends on you budget.... better wheels just cost more.

I had Vision steel wheels on my old Ram, I would have no issues with them on my current one (different size of course), but I'm okay with the factory rims.

dry rotting on 4 year old tires ?
Get rid of them ASAP, sell them cheap to some one that wants them

The stock rims are a pain the **** to keep clean as it is, then these awesome new rims I am liking have hundreds of little nook and crannies that I can see being a total nightmare!! Wish someone would come up with something to keep brake dust off the rims!

I loved my Kenda KR628 A/T tires on my last truck.

Welcome nice looking truck

Welcome, great looking truck.

Welcome, love the color. My first truck was a 79 Ford F-150 in that same copper color. Very unique, eye catching, and got lots of compliments.
